number of factors, i.e., the increased value of the new <br />facilities that will be coming on line; additional employees in <br />the budget; and also provided in this fund is funding for an <br />overall study for evaluation of our health insurance program. <br />The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. <br />Mr. Ireland wished to know just what the Self Insurance <br />Trust Fund is, and Administrator Chandler explained that this is <br />where our Worker's Comp, liability, and basically all that type <br />of insurance is. This is the fund that covers our insurance <br />expense, and the result of going self-insured has been that we <br />have reduced our overall expense. <br />Mr. Simeone asked if this is working out real well. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that it is. He advised <br />that we have tightened up some and adopted specific policies and <br />procedures in regard to settling claims. Also, the safety <br />program goes hand in hand with this. We had an individual come <br />on board who really knows this field, and he believed this <br />program is exceeding everyone's expectations. The Administrator <br />further explained that health insurance is shown separately and <br />its cost is now reflected in each of the individual budgets. We <br />have got our Worker's Comp and liability insurance on a good <br />solid basis, and he felt we need to take a good hard look at our <br />health insurance. <br />It was determined that no one else wished to be heard, and <br />the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved <br />a tentative budget of $1,760,007 for the Self Insurance <br />Trust Fund for FY.1990/91. <br />0 <br />��®tK � FAGS <br />SEP 0 5 1990 31 <br />
