Sutter County’s In-Home Supportive Services Public Authority is being asked to leave its current liability arrangement and join Golden State Risk Management Authority (GSRMA) for general liability coverage.
The June 23 agenda packet says the board is being asked to approve GSRMA membership for fiscal 2026-27 at a cost not to exceed $37,686 and to authorize the signing of the membership documents. In the staff report, county officials say GSRMA would provide $50 million in comprehensive general liability coverage with first-dollar protection and no deductible or self-insured retention.
The report says that makes GSRMA preferable to the current PRISM arrangement, which requires a self-insured retention or deductible for liability coverage. It also says the county risk manager reviewed the Trindel and PRISM bylaws against the GSRMA agreement and found no concerns preventing membership.
The packet does not show whether the board ultimately approved the change. It is an agenda packet rather than meeting minutes, so final action would need to be confirmed in a later adoption record or approved minutes.
