Quorum Court approves appropriation to distribute UnitedHealth 2022 premium rebate to county accounts
Summary
Van Buren County's quorum court approved an appropriation ordinance to allocate a $3,781.19 UnitedHealth 2022 premium rebate across county accounts and corrected a numeric error in the ordinance before adoption.
Van Buren County's quorum court voted to adopt an appropriation ordinance allocating a $3,781.19 premium rebate from UnitedHealth to county accounts, after members corrected a numeric discrepancy in the ordinance text.
The ordinance, introduced for consideration by the court, directs portions of the rebate to county general, the county road fund and the solid-waste fund so the county can pay qualifying employees who had dependent health coverage in 2022. The ordinance text as read to the court stated the rebate amount and the line‑item appropriations; the court moved and seconded adoption.
During discussion a court member noted that the totals printed in the ordinance body did not match the totals shown in section 1 of the ordinance. The court moved to amend the ordinance to correct the discrepancy in section 1; the amendment passed, and the ordinance was then approved by roll‑call vote with all present voting yes.
The court did not amend programmatic policy; the action only corrected the ordinance language and appropriated the rebate so funds can be disbursed to qualifying employees. The ordinance was recorded on the docket following the vote.
