At 9:30 a.m. the health insurance carrier for Fremont County for fiscal year 2004/2005 was discussed. Mike Batenhorst was present. Batenhorst said the secondary road union does not want to change insurance but wants to stay with Blue Cross and Blue Shield medical insurance. Aistrope said that the current plan for Blue Cross and Blue Shield is not the same as what is offered for 2004/2005. There is a big change there. ISAC Blue Cross & Blue Shield no longer offers the 90/10 policy for the county so it will be a big change. The union employees are also aware that Blue Cross & Blue Shield will no longer cover some medications. Batenhorst said there are differences between the drug coverage and the dental coverage. United HealthCare will be zero deductible and Blue Cross & Blue Shield will be 750 deductible for single and 1500 deductible for family. After discussion, Aistrope said, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion that Fremont County contract with United HealthCare for the year 2004/2005. My reason for this motion was that the plan we now offer with ISAC/BC is not available for 2004/2005. The plan we now have is a 90/10 payment. This plan is not available with the ISAC /BC or with United HealthCare that we are looking at. Both plans have an 80/20 payment. The secondary road department contacted Tim Travis with United HealthCare for a quote. After meeting with both ISAC/BC and United HealthCare and much discussion the Board asked both carriers to present their plans to all of Fremont County employees. We scheduled two times for each carrier. At the department head meeting the Board asked what they thought and the majority of the department heads thought United HealthCare was ok. The secondary road department was reluctant about United HealthCare. The Board scheduled another meeting with United HealthCare for just the secondary road employees to discuss some concerns. Also the United HealthCare Pharmacy is contacting a local pharmacy about some concerns about medicine. The codes say that the county has to have the budget done by March 15. The board didn't budget any more money for the self-funding of the deductible and medical expenses. If we would go with ISAC/BC it would cost the county more money than we have been paying in the past. If the Board goes with United HealthCare the county would save a little over $40,000 in premiums. Each employee with a family plan would save approximately $240 of premium. The trend nation wide is for the employee to help pay a little more of the rising cost of health insurance. The insurance was originally for major medical coverage but through the years the employers have been asked to pay more of the minor cost. That is one reason that insurance premiums have gone sky high. When it doesn't cost the employee anything to go to the doctor or emergency room it seems that maybe occasionally we are taking too much advantage of this. The board has not been approached by the sheriff's department union at this time. The insurance plan that we chose is for all employees of Fremont County. With our revenue being cut, the board needs to conserve where ever they can. Chairman Hickey asked if there was any more discussion. No other discussion so Chairman Hickey called for the vote. Aistrope voted aye; Hickey voted aye. Chairman Hickey asked if there was opposition. Larson voted aye to oppose the motion. Vote was two to one in favor of contracting with United HealthCare for 2004/2005.
At 10:00 a.m. Margaret Henkle met with the Board in regards to part time pay for an employee. She asked if she could increase the part time wage and the Board said if she had it in her budget it was all right.
At 11:30 a.m. Jess McIntyre met with the Board in regards to an auction of Country Acres Care. He said maybe listing the property would be better.
There being no further business, motion to adjourn was made.

The Fremont County Board of Supervisors met in regular
session on Tuesday, April 20, 2004, in the Fremont County Courthouse, Boardroom,
with Hickey, Aistrope and Larson present. A quorum was declared and the meeting
officially called to order at 8:30 a.m. for a department head meeting.
The agenda was approved as posted.
At 8:30 a.m. a department head meeting was held.
Present were Dan Davis, Judy Crain, Margaret Henkle, Steve Whitehead, Art
Claiborne, Sandra Sillers, Karen Berry, Ryan Funke, Arnold Emberton, Steve
MacDonald and Lucille Hunt. Hickey
said he was glad to see everyone to share our concerns.
Judy Crain said that legislation was passed to retain seven dollars on
drivers license instead of the five dollars the county retains at this time. The Governor still needs to sign this bill or the counties
will revert to three dollars and fifty cents retention. Crain also suggested that anytime a decision is made in
regards to employees, if it couldn’t be talked with the department heads
before the decision is made. Some
decisions affect the budget and salaries. Part
time salaries were discussed. Aistrope
told the group that the Board decided to go with United Health Care insurance.
He said this was a big decision they had to make as it affects all of the
employees not just the union employees. Hickey
said we really did not have a plan as ISAC Blue Cross & Blue Shield did not
offer our current plan and the Secondary Road department wanted another quote on
other plans so that is precisely why the Board looked into United Health Care.
Hickey said not everyone will agree with me on this or other things we do
but we have to make decisions for all of the employees.
Henkle asked if the 1993 personnel employee handbook is still in effect
or if the one that was worked on in 2003 was adopted.
Hunt said we still did not hear back from the County Attorney or Sheriff
on the 2003 manual so it could not go forward.
Aistrope said the 1993 personnel manual would still be the manual that
was adopted and it is supposed to be given to new employees.
Hunt said it is the responsibility of the department head who hires new
employees to give them a manual. Henkle
suggested that communications could be better and they don’t know what happens
until after it happens and after they read the minutes.
The board said all meetings are open and the items are on the agenda 24
hours in advance and anyone is welcome to attend the meetings.
Hunt said the minutes are not made available to the public until the
board has read and approved them at the next meeting and then they are put on
the website. Hickey said all through the years we’ve been making
decisions, resolutions and ordinances and the meetings are here and all are open
for you to attend.
At 9:00 a.m. County Engineer Dan Davis met with the Board.
Motion was made by Aistrope to authorize Chairman Hickey to sign an
application for approval of underground construction on county highway right of
way for Iowa Telecommunications Services, Inc. for underground construction of
copper telephone cable to 1723 305th Ave to bore 305th Av
and place a new pedestal on the west side of the blacktop on county road 305th
.1 mile south from Anderson. Aistrope,
aye; Hickey, aye; Larson, aye.
At 9:30 a.m. Tim Travis from United Health Care met
with the Board. He inquired about
the other coverage beside the health care plan.
Larson made a motion that the county stay with Delta Dental.
Aistrope, aye; Larson, aye; Hickey, aye.
In other business, the following claims were approved.
There being no further business, motion to adjourn was

Present were Sam and Maria Robinson, Rick Haughton, Vicky Purtle, Shirley Holland, Walt Ohrmund, Suzanne Barrett, Jeff Ferguson, Cliff Ferguson and County Attorney Vicki Danley.
Hickey said these properties have been a burden to the county, city and school. Danley said if anyone has anything they want considered, now is the time. She also explained that they need their own personal attorney for legal advice. She said the Treasurer had left copies of the code for interested parties that they can review. Auditor Hunt read aloud additional proposals received. Clifford Ferguson proposal of $120.00 for Lots 3 and 4 in Block 22 Phelps Addition; Vicky Purtle proposal of $100.00 on Lot 6 Phelps Addition; Charles Nelson proposal of $1,000.00 for Lots 1-3, Block 99, in the original town of Hamburg Parcel Number 430430419000000; Charles Nelson proposal of $1,000.00 for Lots 4-6, Block 99, in the original town of Hamburg Parcel Number 430430420000000; Charles Nelson proposal of $1,000.00 for Lots 1-6, Block 100, in the original town of Hamburg Parcel Number 430430421000000. Hickey said the Board does not have to accept a higher proposal as there are costs related to publishing additional notices and minutes along with delaying the time it takes to get some of these properties back on the tax roll. If another proposal should be considered the process of another public hearing and assignment would have to begin all over again. This will give someone time to pay taxes before a proposal is accepted. Discussion followed and County Attorney Danley said that interested parties of these properties need to consult with their attorney. Motion was made by Larson to close the public hearing with additional proposals to be accepted in the Auditor’s office until 4:30 p.m. on May 7, 2004, place the resolutions on the agenda for Tuesday, May 11, 2004, to accept or reject the proposals from Sam Robinson. Aistrope, aye; Larson, aye; Hickey, aye. Hickey explained that this additional time until May 11, 2004, would give the taxpayers time to pay their taxes before any assignment of tax sale certificates are approved.
At 10:30 a.m. motion was made by Aistrope to approve the following resolution for noxious weeds. Larson, aye; Aistrope, aye; Hickey, aye.
