March Luncheon Recap
By: James N.
In March, we were joined by Blake Aldredge of the Upper Trinity Regional Water District. Blake discussed how irrigation of outdoor landscapes accounts for up to 70% of water used during the summer months, which can greatly strain water supplies and treatment equipment. Water conservation may only seem like just a good idea, but it is critical for allowing our communities to continue to have safe, reliable drinking water with growth and frequent droughts occurring. He also went into how local water providers are seeking to empower HOAs to advocate for and educate residents on water conservation, making for a very informative afternoon!
Additional Insured, Additional Interest and Private Events of Members
By Michael Berg, MBA, CIRMS, CMCA
We are asked quite often if an association should require a member to provide proof of personal liability insurance when using the clubhouse for a private event. Our answer is, not only should that proof be provided, but the member should also name the association as an additional insured. The argument is that the association already has liability insurance for the space and the member pays assessments, a portion of which were used to purchase the association insurance. Of course, legal counsel should always be sought out, but in our opinion, it is best to protect the entire association from liability when common area is in the control of a single member.
The requirement for an additional insured endorsement can cause problems sometimes, because some personal lines carriers (i.e. those who handle homeowners, condominium unit owners or renters insurance) will not offer this endorsement. Most will offer to add the association as an additional interest, but this is not the same
thing and doesn’t provide the liability protection the additional insured endorsement does. To understand the difference in the two concepts, it might help if you take out the word “additional” and put in the word “also.”
Additional [Also] Insured
The requirement for an additional insured endorsement can cause problems sometimes, because some personal lines carriers will not offer this endorsement. “ ”
The additional insured is a party or entity added to an insurance policy and receiving benefit from the liability insurance the policy provides. The named party is “also” an insured. In our industry, the most common use of the endorsement is a contractor naming an association as an additional insured. The association receives the liability protection of the contractor’s policy if the contractor does something and the association is brought into the suit. For example, an association hires a painting contractor, who names the association as an additional insured. During the job, paint overspray damages a nearby car. The owner of the car demands damages
paid by the contractor and the association. The association receives a defense from the contractor’s carrier, as an additional insured, and the contractor’s carrier would pay damages to the vehicle owner.
Additional [Also] Interest
An additional interest is a party or entity that will be notified of policy expiration or lapse, but grants no liability protection to the interest. It’s like saying, “We are interested in knowing that this policy stays in force.” This is typically used in HOAs where the CC&R requires owners to maintain a personal insurance policy and the association has a responsibility to police those policies (something we would not advise, but
“ ”
It is not uncommon for a personal lines insurance carrier to deny the addition of an additional insured.
that’s a different discussion). Using the example above involving a painter, if an association were added as an additional interest, the association would need to use its own liability insurance for defense of the allegation. It is not uncommon for a personal lines insurance carrier to deny the addition of an additional insured. The carrier is worried that by accepting the request it is opening up the potential to receive liability claims
that have nothing to do with its insured. The claims wouldn’t go far, but the carrier would have to spend money to close the matter and it is money they don’t want to have to spend.
For the association members that have trouble obtaining the endorsement through their personal insurance carrier, there are a number of on-line resources for the purchase of single day or short term liability insurance. We have routinely pointed members to www.privateeventinsurance.com and www.kandkinsurance.com. These policies can be purchased online, will name the association as additional insured and will provide host liquor liability coverage for a wide range of events. From a quick test quote for a wedding event, it would cost $175 to purchase the policy from Private Event Insurance, and $165 from K and K.
An additional insured endorsement may not be the easiest thing to obtain, but it is in the best interest of the association to require the protection when releasing control of common area to a single member.

TEXAS HEAT SAFE
TEXAS HEAT-RELATED PET DEATHS ARE 6 TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
The scorching heat of this year’s Texas summer has arrived, so it is crucial for pet owners to be aware of the dangers hot weather poses to their beloved furry companions. A report released by Veterinarians.org analyzed five years of news report data from 2018-2022 to determine which states saw the highest number of reported heat-related pet deaths during this period.
Texas is number one on the list with 40 reported heatrelated pet deaths during the analyzed period. This is more than six times the national five-year average.
Findings from the report also show that the majority of heat-related pet deaths studied were the result of an animal being confined inside a hot vehicle. However, the analyzed reports also include incidents of heatrelated death due to confinement in trailers, garages or sheds, as well as heat-related deaths due to animals being left outside in extreme heat with no shade or water.
“Unlike humans, dogs and cats have limited methods of reducing their body temperature. They may sweat a little from their pads but, otherwise, their best defense is panting. Through panting, pets can expend some of the energy (heat) through evaporation of water. But, just like humans, the ability for the body to cool itself only provides so much relief from high temperatures.
“When heat can’t escape the body, the proteins and chemicals within are affected which lead to the formation of clots, organ damage and more. The kidneys, brain and clotting ability are all extremely susceptible to heat-induced injury. I’ve witnessed too many animals brought to the emergency room suffering from heatstroke—many times too late. Lots of factors come into play, such as breed, general health and environment. However, prevention is the key!” — SPCA of Texas Chief Medical Officer Amber Alu, D.V.M.
Taking proactive measures to keep pets safe and comfortable during these sweltering days is of utmost importance.
KEEP YOUR PETS HYDRATED.
Make sure your furry friends have access to fresh, cool water at all times. Consider placing multiple water bowls around your home and refill them regularly. If your pets must be outside during the day, make sure there are plenty of shady spaces throughout the day and several shaded, non-tippable water bowls filled with ice water. Do not use metal bowls outside.
If possible, a small wading pool filled with cold ice water and placed in a shaded area outside is preferred. This not only allows pets to drink but also to cool off in the water when overheating.
SCHEDULE EXERCISE WITH YOUR PETS WISELY ON WARM DAYS
Give your pet plenty of water before and after walks or playtime. Be sure to avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. Early mornings (before 10 a.m.) or late evenings (after 5 p.m.)— when temperatures are lower—are ideal for walks or playtime.
Hot pavement can burn paw pads, so opt for walking on grassy areas. Consider using paw wax or booties to shield sensitive paws from hot pavement, rocks or sand that can cause burns and blisters. If you cannot hold the back of your hand on the pavement for five to 10 seconds, the pavement is too hot for your pet.
MAKE SURE YOUR PETS HAVE PLENTY OF SHADE.
If your pet spends any time outside, be sure it has plenty of shade so he or she can get out of the sun. This is where the ground or grass will be coolest— under a tree, an umbrella, or a simple, open structure. Do not tie or restrain the pet so that it cannot move between shady spots as needed.
If it is really hot and humid, bring your pet indoors and into air-conditioned areas.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN A LOCKED CAR.
No matter what, even if you think you will be away from the car for just a few minutes, do not leave your pet unattended in a parked car. The car can absorb enough energy within minutes to become a death
mobile. A cracked window or two is not enough to prevent heatstroke when it’s hot, or even warm. It is also not enough to park in the shade on a hot day and leave all the windows and even sunroof open.
While weather in the 70s may seem harmless, a Stanford study showed that in just an hour, a car’s temperature rose to 116 degrees internally when left out in 72-degree heat. It is not recommended to leave the air conditioner running in a car for your pet. Oftentimes the air conditioner malfunctions, leading to overheating inside the vehicle.
Heatstroke is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that can affect pets when they are exposed to high temperatures and excessive heat. Dogs and cats cannot regulate their body temperature as efficiently as humans, making them more susceptible to heatstroke.
It can occur in as little as 10-15 minutes, especially in hot and humid environments or when an animal is left in a parked car.
“
HEAT STROKE CAN BE FATAL AND CAN COME ON VERY QUICKLY, SO IT’S BEST NOT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES.
”
Symptoms of heatstroke in pets include excessive panting, drooling, rapid breathing, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and collapse. It is crucial to act quickly if you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke. Move them to a cool and shaded area, offer fresh water, and
use cool (not cold) water or damp towels to gradually lower their body temperature.
Then take the pet directly to an emergency veterinary clinic. Heat stroke can be fatal and can come on very quickly, so it’s best not to take any chances.

HOW TO SURVIVE A KITCHEN FIRE
By Kimberly Lilley, CIRMS, CMCA, EBP
Working in the insurance industry, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to warn folks about possible hazards that exist for them day-today, and how to be prepared to either 1) avoid the peril or 2) handle the peril once it occurs. And still, it was a shock when one day the almonds I was toasting under the broiler burst into flame.
I’m not gonna lie, I stood there for at least 5 seconds thinking, “Oh, look, there’s a fire in my oven,” before I realized that I needed to actually DO something about it. But what to do? If I OPEN the oven, that adds air which fuels the fire… so not right now. But is the fire going out? Or getting bigger? Sadly, in this case, it was getting bigger. I realized I needed to pull out the fire extinguisher that was under my sink.
Quick digression: thank GOODNESS I had a fire extinguisher under my sink. Given my profession, I have MANY fire extinguishers throughout my home. If that were not the case, there is a very real chance that my home would have sustained much more damage and possibly burned to the ground.
I grabbed the fire extinguisher and was frustrated to discover that, while the fire was raging in my stove, I was unable to read the instructions on how to use this fire extinguisher and had to go get my glasses. It’s fine. I’m sure the fire will wait. While I was familiar with a traditional fire extinguisher, this one was a small canister fire suppressant that was new to me. I was going to get around to familiarizing myself with it. I really was.
Luckily, I have as many glasses lying about the house as fire extinguishers, so I was able to read the instructions and activate the fire extinguisher, spraying along the base of the fire with a sweeping motion. And like that, the fire was out.
I won’t bore you with how much work it was to clean up my stove after that, but I will leave you with some additional tips:
• Keep an eye on your cooking: unattended cooking is the number one cause of cooking fires
• Don’t wear loose or drapey clothing when cooking, and keep towels and potholders away from hot surfaces
• Keep an eye on kids and pets
• Keep cooking surfaces clean – food and grease can catch on fire
• Keep solvents and flammable cleaners away from heat sources (so… don’t store them above your stove)
• Keep the handles of pans out of the kitchen traffic pattern (to avoid food spills)
• On the top of the stove you can often smother a fire with a pan lid
• You can extinguish food fires with baking soda (NOT water or flour)
• Don’t be afraid to call the fire department!
Kimberly Lilley, CRIMS, CMCA, EBP is the Director of Advocacy, Public Relations and Marketing for LaBarre/Oksnee insurance and may be reached at KimberlyL@hoa-insurance.com.
Most fire extinguishers operate using the following P.A.S.S. technique:
1. PULL... Pull the pin. This will also break the tamper seal.
2. AIM... Aim low, pointing the extinguisher nozzle (or its horn or hose) at the base of the fire. NOTE: Do not touch the plastic discharge horn on CO2 extinguishers, it gets very cold and may damage skin.
3. QUEEZE... Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
4. SWEEP... Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire until it appears to be out. Watch the area. If the fire re-ignites, repeat steps 2 - 4.
If you have the slightest doubt about your ability to fight a fire....EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!
