BCL Receives Insurance Renew

BONNERS FERRY — The Boundary County Library has received an insurance renewal from ICRMP, or the Idaho Counties Risk Management Program.

In August 2022, BCL was notified ICRIMP would not be renewing its insurance coverage in October 2022, due to increased risk exposure and potential for adverse claims.

In September 2022, BCL received a three-month extension of insurance coverage. As of Dec. 6, 2022, the policy has been extended for another year and will expire on Sept. 30, 2023.

Executive Director Timothy L. Osborne of ICRIMP wrote that the board appreciated and recognized BCL’s improvements to follow risk management initiatives.

ICRMP is a member-owned carrier created by Idaho local governments to provide property and casualty insurance for public entities. The carrier provides all insurance coverage for the library district. The city of Bonners Ferry, Kootenai County, Bonner and Boundary counties and other jurisdictions also use this carrier.
