Board approves October bills and renews directors'and'officers insurance
The JACB board approved two routine resolutions at the meeting: one to pay the board's monthly bills for October and another to authorize the annual directors' and officers' liability insurance.

Joe introduced Resolution 11 to pay the board's monthly bills for October. A motion and second were made and the resolution carried after members answered "Aye." No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.

Joe introduced Resolution 12 to authorize an annual directors' and officers' liability policy with Greenwitch Insurance. Joe said the premium "only increased, slightly over 1% from last year" and that the coverage remains with the same company.

When a board member asked whether the team solicits quotes from multiple companies each year, Joe said the city's insurance agent, Haler, Fryer, and [redacted], "go out to the marketplace and shop it around." He added that JACB's hybrid status between the city and the school district makes it a "tech challenging client" and that some insurers "shy away" because the agency does not fit the usual corporate structure. The board then voted to carry the resolution.

Both resolutions were presented as routine business and passed by voice vote; the transcript records motions, a second and the board's "Aye" without member-by-member tallies. The insurance renewal authorizes staff to pay the premium to maintain board coverage for the coming year.

Provenance: Resolution 11 was introduced at the meeting when Joe said, "we have, Resolution 11, which would pay our monthly bills for October." Discussion of Resolution 12 and the insurance-market question followed immediately afterward.
