Clerk Owens advised the bid accepted for Workmen’s Compensation on June 9, 1969 from Durrance Insurance, Inc. does not meet the specifications as to the financial rating of the insurance company.  After reviewing the Best’s Guide, the action of the Board on June 9, 1969 pertaining to bid for Workmen’s Compensation Insurance was rescinded on motion of Commissioner Carson seconded by Commissioner Macdonell and unanimously carried.  Commissioner VanAuken moved the acceptance of bid of Durrance Insurance, Inc. with the Traveler’s Insurance Company at an estimated annual premium of $12,456.00.  The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hoskinson and unanimously carried.  In view of the fact that First National Insurance Agency, Inc. submitted an identical bid through Travelers Insurance Company, it was the Board’s recommendation that the commission from the policy be divided between Durrance Insurance, Inc. and the First National Insurance Agency, Inc.
