$3,207.37
ALLEGATION: Damage to Personal Vehicle While Driving on County Business.
DISCUSSION: The Risk Manager, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney and County Auditor discussed the Risk
Management Committee's approval of this claim on November 16, 2006. The Auditor
provided a copy of Jefferson County Personnel Policy, Appendix "D," Section 15.2 Motor
Vehicle Operator's License and Proof of Personal Insurance which states: "Operators are
to have a valid Washington State driver's license and Proof of Personal Insurance in their
possession while operating a privately owned motor vehicle when conducting official
County business. Damage that occurs to an employee's vehicle while the vehicle is being
used for official County business is the responsibility of the employee andlor their
insurance carrier. " Based on this policy the claim cannot be paid. The Risk Manager
and Deputy Prosecutor expressed regret for overlooking this policy at the time of their
initial decision. Both agreed to reverse the decision and deny the claim based on Section
15.2 of Appendix "D" of the Jefferson County Personnel Policy.
DECISION: Deny Claim
Meeting adjourned.
