This grant is based on the third phase of the electrical savings program for large motor replacement, lighting and window upgrades.

Although the County is self insured, it purchases a variety of insurance policies as a stop loss against the Self-Insured Retention (SIR) insurance companies are willing to insure over our causality, property and workers’ compensation policies.  In addition, the County also purchases a variety of additional insurance policies to insure against other losses. In total, The County purchases sixteen (16) policies to address a variety of coverage needs as dictated by the functions performed by County government.

The County has retained Market Financial as its insurance consultant/broker and Go Self Insured as its Third Party Administrator (TPA) for Workers’ Compensation and Auto Insurance Recovery claims.
