Workshop 07 30 2026 12PM

This meeting of the MIS Director held on July 30, 2026, primarily focused on budget discussions, including the approval of mill rates for the general fund and MSTU fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The board reviewed health insurance plan options and premium increases, debating the impact on employees and the county budget. They discussed negotiating insurance plan terms, potential changes to employee contributions, and the possibility of implementing a policy requiring spouses to use their own employer-provided insurance if available. Additionally, the meeting addressed the unresolved contract between the sheriff's office and the school board regarding School Resource Officers (SROs), highlighting budget implications if the contract is not signed. The board approved maintaining the current mill rates for both funds and scheduled further workshops and public hearings to finalize the budget and insurance decisions.
