The board of supervisors hereby adopts a self-insurance program ("the program"),
effective July 1, 1994. The program provides coverage for losses arising after June 30,
1994, which are not covered by commercial insurance policies purchased by the county.

insurance policy purchased from any insurance carrier, insurance pool, or program. The
program's protection extends to covered persons, defined below as county officers,
employees, and volunteers. Coverage is subject to the provisions and exclusions listed
in the program.
The program is established for the purpose of providing a system through which the
county will retain certain risks and manage the claims which emanate from public
liability incidents and the legal obligations imposed as the result of injury to employees.
The program is created for the purpose of paying all legitimate claims and expenses
which arise under the program. This program is not a contract between the county and
any person, employee or entity, and it expressly intends not to create any third party
beneficiaries under the program. This program creates no vested rights or property
interests in anyone except as required by statute and may be amended at any time by
the board of supervisors.

group self-insurance pools to indemnify the County against such claims, it shall do so in
accord with all applicable statutes.
The County shall also provide for reasonable risk-management measures and/or
services necessary to mitigate the County’s losses and liabilities for such claims.
Nothing contained in these risk management provisionsshall be construed to abrogate
or waive any defense of sovereign immunity, official immunity, governmental immunity,
or any other defense available to the County, or any covered person.
These risk management provisions do not create a contract between the County and
any person, employee, agent or entity, nor is it intended to create any third-party
beneficiaries. These provisions do not create any vested rights or property interests in
anyone, except as required by statute.

county, the county's obligation to pay benefits will terminate. The county
reserves its subrogation rights as provided in the act.
Benefits shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of state law and
provisions of county administrative regulations as promulgated by the county
administrator.
To be eligible for workers' compensation benefits, a volunteer firefighter must
have been duly certified to the clerk of circuit court as required by section 27-42 of
the Code of Virginia.
This workers' compensation coverage does not apply to:
a. Individuals not employed by the county;
b. Persons providing services to the county as independent contractors; and
c. Employees receiving medical treatment provided by a physician not listed
in the county's physician list, except when (a) the nature of the illness or
injury requires emergency medical services or (b) the employee is referred
Page 6of 13
by a physician who is on the county's physician list to a physician who is not
on the county's physician list;
d. County officers, unless they are deemed to be covered "employees" under
the Act; and
e. All volunteers, except fire and rescue volunteers.
(3) Automobile liability. The program will pay claims which a covered person is
legally obligated to pay for negligent operation of a motor vehicle in the course
of county business. However, if the covered person is driving a non-county
owned vehicle on county business and is guilty of negligence, the program will
only provide secondary coverage to the covered person's personal liability
insurance over and above minimum amounts required by Virginia law, i.e., the
program will pay for any claims against the covered person which exceed the
limits of the covered person's personal insurance policy up to the program limit
of liability. The program will not pay claims for any damage to any non-county
owned vehicle operated by a covered person which is due to the negligence or
intentional actions of that covered person.
The program provides the statutory minimum limits for uninsured motorist
coverage and specifically rejects coverage in excess of the statutorily mandated
minimum. The limits of liability for uninsured and underinsured motorist liability
coverage shall be the minimum amounts required by Virginia law, currently
established as follows: twenty-five thousanddollars ($25,000.00) because of bodily
injury to or death of any one person in any accident, and subject to the limit for one
(1) person, to a limit of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) because of bodily injuries
to or death of two (2) or more persons in any one (1) accident, and to a limit of
twenty thousand dollars ($20,000.00) because of injury to or destruction of property
of others in any one (1) accident, or as may be hereafter established by law. The
program's uninsured motorist coverage shall be secondary to any such coverage in
the covered person's personal liability insurance policy or any other available
uninsured motorist coverage.
The program provides medical payments coverage only to the extent
mandated in Code of Virginia Title 38.2.
Theprogram will not pay collision and comprehensive damage claims for
county owned or leased motor vehicles. These repair expenses or losses shall be
the responsibility of the county department, agency, or officer to which the motor
vehicle is assigned.
(4)Comprehensive general liability including law enforcement legal liability and
public officials' liability. The program will pay claims for liability imposed upon a
covered person for personal injuries and property damage or loss because of
the acts, errors or omissions of a covered person in the course of his duties on
behalf of the county. Not included in this comprehensive general liability
coverage are county employees whom the covered person may have injured in
the course of their employment (because such employees have coverage under
the workers' compensation section).
Page 7of 13
(5) Medical services. The program will pay claims, if based solely on error,
negligence, omission or mistake, arising out of medical services which were
rendered or which should have been rendered by any duly qualified medical
practitioner, nurse or technician employed by the county or acting at its request.
The program will provide coverage only to the extent that the losses exceed the
medical professional's other insurance coverage and to the extent of the
program's limit of liability.
(6) Faithful performance blanket bond liability. The program will indemnify the
county for loss caused through failure of any county officer, volunteer or
employee, acting alone or in collusion with others to perform faithfully his duties
or to account properly for all monies and property received by virtue of his
position or employment.
(7) The program may, but is not obligated to, provide for a policy for payment of
certain medical expenses incurred by approved volunteers, other than
registered fire and rescue volunteers, for bodily injuries that occur during the
course of approved volunteer projects in the county.

Sec. 2-84. -Limitations on and exclusions from coverage.
(a)Fydftt!dpwfsbhf/In no event shall the county indemnify the amount of any liability
or loss for which there is any insurance in effect which covers such loss or which
would have covered such loss except for the existence of this program.
(b) Fydmvefe!bdut/The program will not pay for liability claims stemming from:
(1) Damage to or destruction of property caused by the covered person to his or
her own property;
(2) Any willful malicious acts or any acts of intentional misconduct;
(3) Any acts outside the scope of employment or business of the county;
(4) Actions or inactions while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs or the
abuse of legal drugs;
(5) Any claims for acts, omissions, or events occurring prior to July 1, 1994;
(6) The exercise of eminent domain or condemnation;
(7) Judgments for losses covered under the program when covered persons fail
to notify the county attorney of court actions against them in sufficient time for
the county attorney to file responsive pleadingsor when the covered person
fails to cooperate in the preparation or presentation of his or her defense.
The program will not pay claims for loss or damage in excess of the cost to repair or
replace the damaged or destroyed property in a condition equal to its condition
immediately before the loss or damage. If the county decides to replace destroyed or
damaged property on another site, the cost of such site is excluded from coverage.
Page 8of 13
(c) Mptt!pg!dpwfsbhf/A covered person shall not, except at his own cost and
expense, make any payment, admit any liability, settle any claim, assume any
obligation, or incur any expense without the written consent of the county risk
manager. Any violation of this provision will result in a loss of coverage under the
program.
(d) Qvojujwf!ebnbhft/The program will not pay punitive damages awarded by a
judge or jury against any covered person.

covered person.

information regarding the time, place, and circumstances of the occurrence, and
the names and addresses of (1) all injured persons, (2) the owner of any
damaged property and (3) all witnesses whose identities are known or can be
reasonably determined shall be given as soon as practicable by the person
seeking coverage or indemnification under this program to the risk manager.
Any person seeking coverage or indemnification under this program and who is
no longer employed by or otherwise providing service to the county shall also
provide the risk manager with his or her name, address and work and home
telephone numbers and shall further be required to up-date information on how
he or she can be contacted by the risk manager when necessary.
(2) Sfqpsujoh!pg!dmbjnt<!tfswjdf!pg!qspdftt/If a claim is made or an action is
brought against coverage or person as a result of any occurrence which may be
subject to indemnification under the county's insurance or the program, that
person shall immediately notify the county attorney in writing and forward to the
county attorney every demand, notice, summons, or other process received by
the covered person or his representative.
(3) Dppqfsbujpo/All persons seeking indemnification under the program shall
cooperate with the county and, upon the county's request, assist in making
settlements, in the conduct of lawsuits, and in enforcing any right of

or the covered person may have against any other person who may be liable to
Page 9of 13
any covered person. That person shall attend hearings, depositions, trials and
other proceedings and shall assist in securing and giving evidence and
obtaining the attendance of witnesses. No such person shall make any
payment, assume any obligation or incur any expense, without prior approval by
the county attorney. Such action without county attorney approval shall void any
coverageor indemnification under this plan relating to the occurrence. No
person may disapprove a proposed settlement of a suit, action, or claim against
him if the county attorney determines that such settlement is in the legal or
management interests of the county or its officers, employees or volunteers. In
the event an employee has the option to disapprove a settlement and
disapproves such proposed settlement, any indemnification afforded under this
program shall be void for the occurrence for which the settlement was
disapproved.
(4) Gbjmvsf!up!hjwf!opujdf!ps!dppqfsbuf/The county shall not provide coverage or
indemnification for any person with respect to any loss for which that person
fails to comply with all provisions of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of this section.
(5) Efgfotf!pg!dmbjnt/The county attorney shall represent all persons or entities
with respect to any claim or causes of action arising from the conduct of such
individuals or entities in the discharge of their duties on behalf of the county.

involving the county attorney's representation of the county or related entity or
any individual under this plan, on any claim, lawsuit or combination of claims or
lawsuits or (2) any other ethical consideration, which might impede effective
representation and legal defense by the county attorney, the county attorney is
authorized to retain outside or additional counsel, to represent any such
persons or entities whoshall in his opinion require such counsel. The program
shall bear the cost of such counsel.
(7) Bvuipsjuz!up!ijsf!fyqfsut/After consulting with each other, the risk manager
and county attorney are authorized to retain experts to assist in the
investigation, valuation, or settlement of claims, and to testify at the trial of such
claims against persons and entities provided coverage or indemnification under
the program. The costs and expenses of such experts shall be borne by the
program.
(8) Tvcsphbujpo!sjhiut!sftfswfe!cz!uif!dpvouz/

been paid from another source.
b. A recovery made pursuant to subrogation will be applied to reduce the loss
for which the county has made payment or otherwise incurred expenses.
(9) Qvsdibtf!pg!jotvsbodf/The risk manager shall recommend to the trustees the
purchase of such insurance or participation in group self-insurance pools as
may be appropriate to provide coverage or such additional coverages to the

fund to afford adequate coverage. The trustees on behalf of the county may
contract, subject to the provisions of the Virginia Public Procurement Act, for
insurance, reinsurance or participate in group self-insurance pools.

(a) Hfofsbmmz/The department of risk management shall be responsible for
administering this program.
(b) Dmbjnt!qspdfevsft/The department of risk management shall administratively
handle claims made against the county. The county may contract, subject to the
provisions of the Virginia Public Procurement Act, with third parties for the provision
of claims services. The risk manager shall develop and implement comprehensive
claims procedures.
(c) Dmbjnt!bekvtunfou-!bvuipsjuz!mfwfm/The risk management department will provide
claims administration services through its own staff or through the services of an
independent third party claims administration organization. The risk management
department will have authority to adjust claims when it is in the best interest of the
county for the risk management department to do so. Generally, but not in all cases,
it is in the best interest of the county for the risk management department to adjust
claims which donot exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) so long as the
adjustment of such claim involves no policy or management implications. For claims
from ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) to fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00), the
risk manager will obtain prior approval of the trustees prior to adjusting the claim. If
any claim involves policy or management issues, the claim will only be adjusted in
conjunction with the county attorney and when necessary, the county administrator.
The risk management departmentshall not adjust any claim when the county
attorney is aware of the claim and believes that administrative adjustment is
contrary to the legal or management interests of the county. Claims in excess of fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000.00) must be reviewed and approved by the trustees and
the board of supervisors. The risk manager will provide the board of supervisors
with a quarterly summary of all claims paid from the fund.

AGENDA ITEM:Request to donate surplus vehicle tothe Western Virginia
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) council
SUBMITTED BY:Rob Light
Director of General Services
APPROVED BY:Thomas C. Gates
County Administrator
ISSUE:
A request to donate a surplus Roanoke County vehicle to the Western Virginia EMS
Council
BACKGROUND:
From time to time, other local governmental/not for profit agencies have requested the
donation of surplus vehicles from Roanoke County, and the County has generally
honored these requests. The Western Virginia EMS Councilis a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization, which has served the Roanoke Valley since 1975 and is an integral part of
Virginia' s comprehensive EMS system. It serves to assess, identify, coordinate, plan
and implement efficient and effective regional EMS delivery systems in partnership with
Virginia's Office of Emergency Medical Services and EMS Advisory Board.
DISCUSSION:
The Council uses the Roanoke County Fleet Service Center to repair its vehicles, and is
requesting that the County donate a surplus 2010Ford Crown Victoria with over
103,000 miles for its use. It is anticipated that the vehicle will be used for agency staff
during the course of daily operations, such as meetings, EMS training programs, drills,
exercises, etc., saving the agency the cost of staff using personal vehicles. There is no
internal need for the vehicle.
Page 1of 2
FISCAL IMPACT:
While there is no direct cost to the County, the value of the vehicle at surplus is
estimated to be approximately $2,000 to $2,500. Due to the age and mileage ofthis
vehicle, there is not a high resale value and that value will not be significantly impacted
through the Western Virginia EMS Council's use.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends donation of the 2010 Ford Crown Victoria to the Western Virginia
EMS Council.
VOTE:
Supervisor Peters moved to surplus the vehicle.Supervisor McNamara seconded the
motion. Motion approved.
