Board Of Supervisors Approve Health Plan Change
Oskaloosa, IA – On Tuesday morning, the Mahaska County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved several resolutions to complete a health plan change, and designated a web hosting firm.
Brad Reiman, from Bearance Management Group, spoke to the board and presented the details of the health plan change. The county needed to make a health plan change from a third party administrator (TPA) to a First Administrators, Inc. (FAI) agreement with Wellmark. Wellmark no longer does third party plans. The change will come into effect on Nov. 1 and will continue until July 2014.
Watch the full conversation:
The board also unanimously designated Brian McMillan to be in charge of the county’s web hosting services. Supervisor Mike Vander Molen said McMillan charges $50 an hour and that his work would not exceed $500. Vander Molen also said other counties, such as Marion County, pay $6,000 a year for web hosting services. A figure he called “expensive.”
Lastly, the board unanimously approved a contract for pavement replacement in regards to Project FM-CO62(84)-55-62. In a separate motion, the board unanimously approved the contractor’s bond.
Two items were tabled for next meeting:
- Creating a capital improvement fund and transfer
- Discussing dirt control on 285th Street with Frank Holub (Holub was unable to attend the meeting
The next meeting will be held on Monday, Sep. 16 at 9 a.m.
