DUMMERSTON — Our story last week on Dummerston's efforts to get a handle on property replacement revaluations [“Town, VLCT still at odds over insurance coverage costs”] incorrectly identified the VLCT Property And Casualty Intermunicipal Fund as being based in Connecticut; it is based in Vermont.
Ken Canning, director of risk management services for VLCT, wrote the paper Nov. 20 to say he denies he told a Dummerston Selectboard member that if three local contractors' estimates ring in at less than PACIF's evaluation, VLCT would guarantee the local numbers - as was said at the Nov. 13 Selectboard meeting.
“We never said that we would guarantee whatever values the contractor estimates sought by the town come up with. We said that we will take them into consideration as we review the building values in question,” Canning said.
