Self Insurance Board (Cam2) 6/8/26

The Sumner County Self Insurance Board met on June 8, 2026, to discuss health risk assessment compliance and insurance coverage policies. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a request for a one-time waiver of a missed health risk assessment deadline by a long-term county employee, Tracy Brown, who has a strong record of compliance and is considered a valuable asset due to her role in the recovery court program. Board members debated the implications of granting exceptions to established policies, weighing the potential for setting precedents against the employee's unique circumstances and contributions. Ultimately, the board voted to approve the exception, reverting the employee to favored insurance status with a lower deductible. Additionally, the board approved the 2027 liability and property insurance package, noting minor changes and some savings, and discussed the possibility of adding cyber liability coverage in the future. The board emphasized that future waiver requests would be considered on a case-by-case basis, maintaining their role as gatekeepers for exceptions.
