Presented By: Steve Patterson
Discussion: Still waiting on estimates.
Topic: Insurance Renewal
Presented By: Linda Campbell
Discussion: Met with Cory Miller and the Rep from Burnham & Flower of Ohio/Public Entities Pool of Ohio. The coverage is more specialized for a government entity along with offering better coverage at a better premium they also offer a reimbursable grant for safety equipment in the amount of 1,000.00.
