Freezing and Bursting Pipes
by Jim Hale Aug. 30, 2023

Aug. 30, 2023

As a pool CORSA has all too many high severity losses every year due to freezing and bursting pipes. In fact, freezing/bursting pipes in the aggregate accounts for much of our yearly property losses as a pool. Attached is some additional information on this all too common loss for our members. Extracted from the document: "Surprisingly, ice forming in a pipe does not typically cause a break where the ice blockage occurs. It's not the radial expansion of ice against the wall of the pipe that causes the break. Rather, following a complete ice blockage in a pipe, continued freezing and expansion inside the pipe causes water pressure to increase downstream -- between the ice blockage and a closed faucet at the end. It's this increase in water pressure that leads to pipe failure. Usually the pipe bursts where little or no ice has formed. Upstream from the ice blockage the water can always retreat back towards its source, so there is no pressure build-up to cause a break. Water has to freeze for ice blockages to occur. Pipes that are adequately protected along their entire length by placement within the building's insulation, insulation on the pipe itself, or heating, are safe."

First Amendment Audits
by Frank Hatfield April 21, 2023

April 21, 2023

Over the last few years citizen activists have been conducting "First Amendment Audits" with increasing frequency. This phenomenon does not appear to be led by an organization; rather, audits are conducted by individuals interested in videoing law enforcement and other public officials and offices. Although conducted by individuals, organizations such as the ACLU provide guidance and encourage First Amendment audits. (See ACLU: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights/#i-want-to-take-pic….) Frequently, these video audits are posted online and, if a perceived First Amendment violation occurred, the videos are the basis for a civil lawsuit. Now is a good time to review and update or create, if necessary, your County's protocol with regard to citizens videoing County operations. Fortunately, counties and public offices, such as Union County, have prepared well to withstand a "First Amendment" without incident. Union County, specifically Sheriff Patton, was kind enough to share the attached memorandum regarding recent "First Amendment Audit" activity and permit it to be distributed by CORSA broadcast email. Thank you Union County. The attached is not legal advice nor should it be construed as such. Should you require a legal opinion please contact your Prosecutor's Office or legal counsel.

Dual Factor Authentication/MFA Proposals
by Frank Hatfield June 24, 2022

June 24, 2022

Hope everyone's summer is going well. We have a member county that is exploring whether to contract a vendor for multifactor authentication/dual factor authentication for the use of hardware tokens/fobs/etc. and is designed to further ensure county users' logins are indeed the correct users' logins. To assist with assessing vendor proposals, particularly cost, the member would like to know the experience of other counties if you're able and willing to share. If you would like to share information without identifying your county, feel free to contact me directly and I'm happy to pass on the information absent identifying information. Thanks.
