Grant County approves participation in wellness and training programs to pursue insurance premium reductions
Summary
The board approved county participation in NDPERS's Wellness Program (potential 1% premium reduction) and the NDACo Learning Management System (potential up to 5% workers' compensation premium reduction).
Jason Albert, Grant County planning and zoning and flood plain coordinator, told commissioners he sought approval for two programs intended to reduce insurance premiums. He asked to enroll the county in the NDPERS Wellness Program for July 1, 2025'June 30, 2026, which may yield a 1% premium reduction, and in the NDACo Learning Management System, which may produce up to a 5% reduction in workers' compensation premiums.
Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to approve participation in the NDPERS Wellness Program; Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter seconded, and the motion passed by unanimous roll call. Commissioners then approved employee participation in the NDACo Learning Management System (motion by Hochhalter, second by Meyer; unanimous vote).
The minutes record no projected costs or implementation timeline beyond the program year and the potential premium impacts noted above.
