RANDOLPH, Utah. Rich County Commission Meeting. June 5, 2013.  Kathleen Liuzzi,  Utah Counties Indemnity Pool, introduced herself as the new Loss Control Manager,  She has worked with many counties as part of the UCIP’s defense counsel team.  Liuzzi worked for the law firm of Dunn & Dunn where she has worked with UCIP’s staff to defend county claims for the past nine years.  
Commissioner Bill Cox asked if she would review county’s personnel policies and manuals and update them before they are put on line.  He also asked if she conduct a sexual harassment avoidance workshop in the fall.  Cox said that other policies are being reviewed now, including jail policies, by private contracted experts.  Liuzzi asked if the county had a records retention policy in written form.  “We use the state rules.” said Clerk Becky Peart, “ and it is not written anywhere in County policy.”  Liuzzi said she is working on State policy now and will work with the county on theirs.

She gave the commissioners a check from Workman’s Compensation.  It is the annual dividend check.  Every year when  Workman’s Comp has extra funds they reimburse the counties. This year there was better than expected investment returns of $82 million.  All private companies as well as government entities will receive a check this year.  Rich County received $762.49.
