Hancock County commissioners approved revisions to the county employee policy manual that formalize recent clarifications about employee insurance coverage and a supplemental plan the county has been offering.

Officials said the update codifies actions the commission and staff had already taken regarding insurance coverage. The motion to approve the manual change passed by voice vote with no further recorded discussion.

A staff member described the revision as codifying the supplemental plan and clarifying employee insurance coverage. The transcript does not state the cost to the county, which employees are eligible beyond the general description, or changes to benefits levels; no roll-call vote or opposing comments were recorded.

The item was presented during the agenda under personnel and approved as an administrative update to the manual. County staff indicated the revised manual and related documents will be uploaded to the county website after approval.
