He reported that the presenter stated that increasing the deductible to $2500.00 per employee could save over $1700.00 in premium. This something that can be looked at next year. The discussion turned to the county funding of the current $1500.00 deductible as a way to save the County money. Neumann suggested that those employees who participate in the County Wellness program would fund $750.00 of the current $1500.00 deductible and those not participating would fund the whole $1500.00.

Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Orthmann and Woodman. Nays, Hynes and Saathoff. There was a discussion of the current policy regarding closing of the Courthouse in inclement weather. Several officials were disturbed that the City had not cleaned the side streets around the Courthouse when it was re-opened for business. Some Supervisors felt that the County should go back to the No Close policy and those employees who wish not to come to work will take a vacation or sick day or a day without pay. It was discussed that the Supervisors only control the opening & closing of the Courthouse and not the offices of the elected officials which in the past has caused problems because some officials chose to close their offices because of the weather and pay their staff for not coming to work when other offices were open. It was decided that the current policy dealing with closing in inclement weather would remain in effect. Motion by Larson, seconded by Saathoff to approve claims and authorize the Clerk to pay the same from their respective funds. Roll call, ayes: Kehoe, Larson, Neumann, Hynes, Orthmann, Saathoff and Woodman. Nays, none.
