The Board
discussed the county’s policy on health insurance coverage for employees of up
to $500.00 a month with Sheriff Holloway.
Due to an increase in his insurance, the County is no longer covering the
entire cost of said health insurance.
He presented information to the Board stating that he worked an average
of 18.5 hours more per week than the
Courthouse hours and felt he therefore made much less per hour. He asked that the Board completely cover his
health insurance costs. Board advised
that they could not raise one employee’s health insurance coverage without
treating all employees the same and raising their coverage. He advised the Board he cannot make the
salary work without full family health insurance paid. The Board advised him they will discuss the
matter with Doris Ralls and see if there is any room in the budget for the
health insurance increase but it appears doubtful.
