Summary
Supervisors approved reimbursing funeral homes up to 50% of documentable under-payments from the last five years and amended Ordinance 51A to remove transportation, mileage and medical examiner pay; the changes will be implemented by annual resolution effective July 1 of each fiscal year.
The Jasper County Board voted on Feb. 24 to reimburse funeral homes for up to 50% of documentable under-payments from the last five years and to amend Ordinance 51A to remove transportation, mileage and medical examiner pay from that ordinance. The action was moved by Supervisor Talsma, seconded by Supervisor Cupples, and approved by a unanimous vote (Nearmyer, Cupples, Talsma).
The motion specified that the reimbursements and the ordinance changes would be approved by resolution on a yearly basis and take effect July 1 of each fiscal year. The transcript does not include the actuarial basis, the total estimated cost to the county, or the specific mechanism for documenting and validating under-payments; those details will need to be detailed in the implementing resolution or accompanying staff reports.
