Mike Mahoney was present from ICRMP and explained the requirements of the insurance policy that Bonner County has. He explained that he obtained a quote for BASIC to cover the events that may occur there. Bonner County insurance will only cover the property, its employees and volunteers. There was a question as to who owns the building and the land. Louis Marshall, legal council was present and indicated this is real property and belongs to the county. Blue Lake Grange is in the same category. The commissioners felt strongly that Bonner County needs to continue to work with the community of Blanchard. An agreement does need to be made with BASIC that liability insurance be set up as soon as possible. After further discussion, it was discovered that other Senior Centers might be in the same situation.
Donna Wells was directed to do further investigation on all other Senior Centers and Community Halls and see what their insurance status is. Proper Insurance for the centers and buildings that are owned by the county must be secured.
After further discussion and recommending that our legal council connect with the people at BASIC,
