# Commissioners' Meetings 10/27/2026

The Grant County Board of County Commissioners’ meeting on October 27, 2026, included discussion of insurance renewals, county operations, and budget matters. Hub International presented the self-funded employee health plan renewal. Sun Life proposed a 47% increase to specific stop-loss premiums at the current $275,000 deductible; the broker recommended renewing with Sun Life at a $300,000 deductible, projecting an approximately 19% increase in minimum plan costs. Commissioners indicated they were willing to proceed with notifying Sun Life, but the transcript records no formal vote on the renewal. The presentation also compared Berkshire Hathaway’s alternative, which included a $655,000 individual laser. Separately, a commissioner asked whether the county would renew Placer AI for 2027; staff noted the fair had switched from Sapphire to fairs.com because of cost and service concerns, but no renewal decision was recorded.

The board voted to approve the public sale at auction of a surplus Hewlett-Packard C6800 plotter left by Emergency Management (Grant County asset tag 500038); no sale price was specified. Other spending-related discussion included a possible $235,000 reimbursement for a completed radio association project and follow-up on funding for jail communications improvements, but no procurement award or spending authorization was recorded for those matters. The meeting also covered budget and grant balances, staffing requests, and a compensation study. No RFP or new contract award was identified.
