A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to <br /> direct the County Attorney to develop a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) <br /> between the two parties to be signed by the appropriate representatives of the ABC Board and <br /> the County. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Hemminger <br /> that the MOU should require the subgroup to pay for its own claims IF the County's health <br /> coverage funding changes from fully-insured to self-insured; and that the County reserves the <br /> right, with one-year notification to the ABC Board, to terminate the option if analysis provides <br /> evidence that the subgroup's medical experience adversely impacts the County' overall cost of <br /> coverage; and should approval be granted, the ABC Board reserves the right to consider <br /> another option if during the interim period, the ABC Board identifies another option that is a <br /> better fit for its employees. <br /> VOTE: UNANMOUS <br /> 8. Reports-NONE <br /> 9. County Manaqer's Report <br /> Frank Clifton reminded everyone that the next work session will be at the West Campus <br /> Office Building. The agenda has transit for the first hour and then the webinar on automated <br /> agendas. <br /> He said that there has been a lot of discussion on the Alamance/Orange County line <br /> and now there is some dispute with the Durham/Orange County line. This has been initiated <br /> by the Board of Elections in Durham when they notified some people that they were not <br /> eligible to vote in Durham although they had voted there for the last 25 years. When the <br /> Durham County Board of Elections sent out notices, the Orange County Board of Elections <br /> was not included in the notification, so they did not know about the change. He will work on <br /> this and bring forward any issues. <br /> 10. County Attorney's Report <br /> John Roberts said that he sent an email out today about the two local bills that are in <br /> final form. Senator Ellie Kinnaird is ready to introduce these bills. It should not be an issue to <br /> get the Orange/Alamance County line finalized. The broadband grant bill may have some <br /> pushback. <br /> 11. Appointments-NONE <br /> 12. Board Comments <br /> Commissioner Foushee said that she attended the Board of Directors NCACC meeting <br /> and the annual dues will be reduced by 5%. She said that this is an attempt to help counties <br /> that are having difficulty paying their dues. Also, the Healthy Living Task Force is coming to an <br /> end and they will distribute a tool kit to all 100 counties to encourage healthy living. <br /> Commissioner McKee said that he toured the local jail facility and he was pleasantly <br /> surprised that the deputies are doing a good job in a facility that is 100 years old. <br />
