Grants Improved Security, Weather Protection and Access
to City Equipment Halsey
City Administrator Judy Cleeton’s ears perked up when
she heard about grant funds aimed at helping cities
improve citizen safety and reduce insurance losses.
Cleeton did some research and, along with other city
leaders, helped secure a Risk Management Grant for
Halsey from City County Insurance Services (CIS). CIS
granted $1,098 toward a new pole building on the Halsey
public works shop property. The building will shelter
valuable equipment, currently parked in an open yard,
subject to weather and vandalism. Engineering for
the project is complete. Construction is set to
begin in September. City
leaders determined that a new storage building would
protect valuable city assets and save tax-payer money in
the long run. Construction funds for the building
were not in the current budget, however. The
project might well have remained a twinkle in the eye of
Halsey officials, were it not for the CIS grant. “The
City was very pleased to learn about the Risk Management
grant,” Cleeton says, “The grant funding has helped
expedite this project.” CIS’
Risk Management Grant program is designed to help its
smaller members avoid expensive claims by accomplishing
specific loss control activities. Halsey is one of
the 395 member-owners of CIS, which was formed in 1981
by the League of Oregon Cities and the Association of
Oregon Counties. CIS provides Oregon cities,
counties, and associated public entities with a wide
array of risk management and insurance services to meet
their property, liability, workers’ compensation, and
employee benefits needs. For
