WASHINGTON COUNTIES RISK POOL
PRESENTATION: Jefferson County was a
founding member of the Washington Counties
Risk Pool (WCRP). Currently there are 28
member counties. Their mission is to provide
economical insurance coverage, to reduce the
frequency and severity of losses through
training, and to decrease the cost of managing
and mitigating claims against counties. Two
people from each county sit on the Board of
Directors who determine the coverage on an
annual basis. Each year trends in law suits are
reevaluated and the Pool purchases
“reinsurance.” Then they set their premiums
and the counties choose their deductible
levels. Some areas of exposure include
county vehicle accidents, law enforcement
claims, personnel claims, adequate medical
treatment in the jails, juvenile programs, road
systems, and landuse claims.
HEARING: After the public hearing, the Board
approved a resolution on the intention to sell
surplus property. The surplus equipment
consists of county cars that will be auctioned.
MRC INTERVIEWS: After interviewing two
candidates, the Board appointed Caroline
Gibson to an open position on the Marine
Resources Committee representing Marine
Science Practitioners.
