County Commissioners have tabled an item pending more information about having the Senior Center open more than just three days a week, in all locations.

If open five days a week the County would have to provide staffing for all the hours the center is open due to liability.

The problem is the County does not own the building, and does not carry liability insurance.

The person who owns the building must carry the liability insurance and this person is concerned about the older people falling in the building and making the insurance rate go up because there was a claim on the insurance.

Kathy Early is to provide information and report to the Court on how many injuries there has been reported.

The motion was made by Clyde Ridge, Jr. Precinct #4 Commissioner and seconded by Craig Oakes, Precinct #2 Commissioner to table the item. The motion carried unanimously.
