REGULAR MEETING OF CASS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SEPTEMBER 2, 1986 Chairman Alon Wieland called the meeting to order with all members present as follows: Jeannette Stanton, Don Eckert, Alon Wieland, Oscar Sondrall and Ray Larson. Discussion was held with States Attorney Robert Hoy on renewal of professional liability insurance through the National District Attorney's Association Policy. The premium has increased from $1,750.00 to $3,120.00 with a $1,250.00 deductible per claim. Mr. Hoy recommended that the insurance coverage be continued for special risks encountered by the County through its attorneys. Mrs. Stanton asked if the States Attorneys are not covered under the County's general liability, and Mr. Hoy stated that he does not believe so and he believes the present policy cannot be amended to include this coverage. Last year he contacted Insurance Consultant Robert Rust, who indicated in a letter that he felt it was a good policy and could not be obtained elsewhere. The Commission asked Mr. Hoy to provide copies of that letter for the next Commission meeting. County Engineer Don Richards stated that he is also concerned about professional liability insurance. The Commission requested Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, to contact the National Association of Counties regarding all professional liability insurance on the County level.
