Summary

The Screven County Board of Commissioners decided on May 23, 2023, to obtain employee health coverage through Meritain, a division of Aetna, following a presentation of options by the county’s agent of record.
Matt Usher, identified in the minutes as the county’s agent of record, presented several coverage options to the board at the workshop held at the Screven County Courthouse. After exploring the alternatives, the board “decided to obtain coverage through Meritain, a division of Aetna,” according to the meeting record.
The minutes do not record a formal roll-call vote, a mover or seconder for the decision, or any implementation timeline. The selection occurred as part of a broader FY2023-24 budget workshop; the meeting record does not specify contract terms, employee contribution changes, premium amounts, or effective dates for the coverage.
The decision was made during a public workshop session; no public-comment excerpts or departmental opposition to the selection are recorded in the minutes. The record shows the board handled the coverage choice and continued to discuss departmental budget requests later in the same meeting.
The county’s May 23 workshop record does not specify next steps for finalizing the coverage or whether the selection requires additional approval, a formal contract award process, or administrative implementation by county staff.
