1 �4 Book 56 FACE -73 <br />MAR 2 9 <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he was very unhappy with <br />this situation, and Chairman Scurlock believed the only <br />bright spot he sees is that when the County Commission makes <br />a mistake, they are willing to admit it. <br />Discussion ensued in regard to issuing the insurance <br />company an ultimatum, and Administrator Wright stated that <br />he would like to have six months to work -this out. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked about having the insurance <br />company pick up the additional work, and the Administrator <br />pointed out that we took this policy at a reduced rate based <br />on our handling that work; if we make them take it back, <br />they will up the rate. <br />Discussion continued as to forcing the insurance <br />company to make some adjustment, and Mrs. Hoder believed <br />that the Administrator has laid the law down to them about <br />how he expects them to handle our insurance; they have <br />improved a good deal; and she believed they are trying to <br />cooperate. Mrs. Hoder did feel that handling the insurance <br />in-house has been a benefit to us. We see where the claims <br />are the most - whether it is dependents -or employees <br />themselves, etc. -, and this helps pinpoint what we need to <br />be looking at for our cost containment. <br />The Administrator also felt that personal contact with <br />the employees is a benefit. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, to employ <br />an insurance clerk as recommended in the memo <br />of the Personnel Manager dated March 12, 1984, <br />at Paygrade 6; this position to be evaluated <br />next fiscal year and not necessarily con- <br />sidered permanent. <br />
