Old Business
Liability of off-duty Sheriff Deputies: Mr. Anderson will
follow-up on this item. Sheriff already has a plan.
Affordable Care Act Compliance: Mr. Varadian of Zobrio
discussed their solution to address Affordable Care Act reporting
concerns. He provided assurance that their software will provide the
required tax forms to become compliant. He confirmed they are not
IRS compliant, but their forms are IRS compliant. The compliance is
only as accurate as the information that is input into the software.
Mr. Anderson indicated Pat Doolin has been granted IRS compliant
status, but they are one of only three firms so designated in the
United States.
Mrs. Dugan indicated she would prefer to work with something that
works with our current software.
Mr. Varadian indicated the cost would be approximately $2500 to get
the module established. He requested a decision prior to December
1st in order to effectively implement the solution.
Mrs. Schaub pointed out the Zobrio software will not automatically
assign the correct codes for the forms. She reported Pat Doolin’s
solution will automatically produce the ACA codes from the
information provided.
Mr.Anderson will invite Pat Doolin to the Regular Board meeting to
discuss his solution.
New Business
Dental insurance: Ms. Schaub presented the renewal offer from
Lincoln National. It includes a 5.6% increase which amounts to $2
monthly per employee, or a total of $2,800 annually to the County.
The committee has the options to: accept the increase, go with Blue
Cross at a higher premium, look for other providers, or hold off
until May to see if lower rates could be offered if combining with
health insurance coverage. A motion was made by Mr. Hepler, seconded
by Mrs. Schumacher, to accept the offer (with the County covering
the additional cost of employee only coverage). Motion passed.

cost to members to join. Members must have an honorable
