Benefits & Insurance Committee - May 7, 2026

The RCTV Benefits & Insurance Committee convened on May 7, 2026, to review and approve financial reports, OSHA updates, wellness program progress, and property and casualty insurance bids. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the evaluation and approval of insurance bids, including a detailed discussion on property, contents, and vehicle insurance premiums. The committee noted an 8% reduction in premiums compared to the previous year, resulting in savings of approximately $366,517. They also discussed the inclusion of new environmental liability coverage related to county properties and facilities. A key procurement-related motion was passed to approve the insurance bids as presented, with a recommendation for the budget committee to further evaluate the cost-benefit of the cyber security insurance premium of $78,000, considering potential alternative investments in cyber security tools within the Office of Information Technology. The motion passed unanimously, and the insurance approval process will proceed to the budget and purchasing committees for finalization.
