Commissioners approve TAC renewals for liability and property insurance; cyber limit doubled

The Commissioners Court approved insurance renewal options presented by Ryan Anderson from county staff.

Anderson told the court the professional liability renewal option totaled $418,019 and that the county’s aggregate cyber coverage limit increased from $500,000 to $1,000,000. He also presented the property-coverage renewal at $439,347, an 8% increase tied to claims history, repair costs and the addition of the new county shop building. The court approved both renewals and authorized a $7,366 budget amendment to cover the property premium increase.

Commissioners commended county employees and the IT department for cybersecurity training that helped secure improved cyber coverage limits. The county attorney reviewed the options, and staff said the liability and property renewals are within or require modest budget adjustments.
