Mrs. Estes asked to speak at
this time.
She informed the Board that
she had received the $40.00 reimbursement discussed at last week’s meeting and
said she would be turning it back in.
She said she knew that there was a majority of the Board that didn’t
feel it was right and that she had decided that the right thing to do was to
honor their decision. She explained that

learned there was an issue.

Mr. Jaques asked the Board
if they felt that since Donna Combs was no longer an Assessor, he wondered if

replaced her when she resigned.

currently written.

like a co-payment on a co-payment.

employees had worked for it and that a resolution could be passed not to
include new participates after
Mr. Biesemeyer said he was
not in favor of continuing reimbursements.

statement that there has been no changes in health insurance for the past 6
years.
