what we do not just form at the moment which means there will be limited to receive testimony with no discussion or no decisions made therefore we're going to go through our agenda items and only take those  we can do given with the commission members that we have here currently so we'll start with public testimony we have do we have anyone signed up for public testimony so it will be forward we do have someone  to this meeting and share some information with this and i thought that was would make much more productive then be thinking at what you questions i could ask and relaying that in that house went to the step again so i thank them for their  all right so why don't we do this for the purposes of your agenda the grocer insists complaints lawsuits by the county and what i'd like to do is help you focus your discussion compliance issues or ris department of the corporation comes so i'll start there wrote briefly a few years well when i was first appointed to twenty eleven one of the first things i looked at is corporation council was our losses and claims pending against the county i had to norah for me to fully appreciate that i did it to improve my working relationship with the department and  specifically with the risk management division which at the time was housed in the department of finance they were it a different building separate and apart from the primary building which is the one we're in right now and i thought it order for us to better understand from start to finish what our responsibility is of handling claims we need to get fully involved in risk which is what i did so from twenty eleven until they finally moved over a couple of years later i did request that the division be moved from finance to department of of the council did after looking at or hearing my presentation for two years that approved so that division physically moved  the in terms of the chart there one of the divisions within the department of correction so we have political action division in the department everything from dealing with third party at ministry which currently essential went to all claims that are initially generated as general liability claims workers compensation claims in flames that litigation deputy to assist the risk employee to get to solutions sooner than later the other component of it is if there is a plan that develops recommend changes for x department to implement if it's a public work play and we do the same thing we constantly are making recommendations to the departments in order assure us that they played without repeat itself and to make sure that we as much as possible contain costs associated with those particular things the risk management department we provide evaluations of the finance director the types of insurance that should be engaged  based on our projections the recommendations and finally made to the council and the council would then approve our budget based on the amount of t i'm always looking for ways to improve upon what we do if we can benefit from any of your future suggestions that our recommendations will sort of take this into consideration of i think that currently risk has a full plate and we've provide it will also will involve me in the event that we need to get the director of a particular department involved in the recommendation i could have siri have it describe at this moment his role and the scope of what he does  the recommendations and ensure that the park i'm correct that if they don't deny go through that requests for assistance i also provide what is the top standards required for training that every department needs to have in order to make sure that we are in compliance with both state and federal more than that assist with recommending have more and you may want to clean the slate of your agenda items haven't one particular presentation because i guarantee you we have so much it's i think it's a fascinating area and i think the more information you have the better you're going to be able to dispatch your what we'll do and we appreciate your willingness in offering us your place time to discuss this with us is definitely something if you're willing to do that for us the book will pursue brad will be the baby liaison through which he will receive all of those there's one arrow of caution that i would kind of generally through out there is not in its own we have a lot of confidential information we also have a lot of confidential in here we'll definitely schedule something and we'll we'll clean our our agenda and get you some very specific item something that i want to make sure happens is that we're not there time to be there next and so we're going to keep a very specific agenda items and if you tell us i can't tell you that will cross that off and you'll never hear it again and i think that's how i would like to operate this because we can't do this without you guys you know any recommendation that we had that you didn't look at before and is a worthless recommendation so we want to make sure that it's not something that we've
