The Elmore County Commission has been presented with a 2019 Safety Award by the Association of County Commissions of Alabama’s (ACCA) Self-Insurance Liability Fund Inc. for the commission’s outstanding efforts to improve safety and reduce liability exposures from 2016 to 2018. Presented annually at the ACCA Annual Convention in August, the awards are given to nine of the 59 counties that are members of a self-funded liability insurance fund sponsored by the association.

When selecting award winners, participating counties are divided into three categories based on their annual premium contributions to the Liability Self-Insurance Fund. Seventeen counties meet the annual premium contribution requirements for the first category, while 24 counties meet the second category’s contribution requirements and 17 counties meet the third category’s requirements.
