Summary
At its March 25, 2024, meeting in Garner, the Hancock County Board of Supervisors approved the second reading of an ordinance readopting parts of the county code, assigned a tax‑sale certificate, granted a Class C alcohol license, awarded an $84,250 contract for ditch spraying, and approved switching dental coverage to Delta Dental effective July 1, 2024.
The Hancock County Board of Supervisors, meeting March 25 in Garner, approved several routine county actions including the second reading of an ordinance readopting portions of the county code and the award of a $84,250 contract to spray drainage district ditches.
On a motion by Supervisor Jerry J. Tlach, seconded by Supervisor Gary Rayhons, the board amended its March 18 motion and approved the second reading of "An Ordinance Readopting Portions of the Existing Hancock County Code, and Repealing Ordinance 28." Supervisor Florence (Sis) Greiman, who participated by teleconference, did not vote on that item because of technical difficulties.
Also on March 25 the board, on a motion by Tlach seconded by Supervisor Florence (Sis) Greiman, approved assignment of county‑held tax sale certificate no. 130311 to Larry or Mary Reddel for $50 plus a $10 assignment fee and approved a Class C retail alcohol license with outdoor service for Hillside Golf & Dining, LLC. Those approvals were carried unanimously.
Later in the meeting the board approved a quote from B & W Control Specialists to spray drainage district ditches for $84,250. The board also approved changing the county's dental insurance from MetLife to Delta Dental effective July 1, 2024, selecting Delta Dental Plan 1 Two‑Tier. The board recorded no change to vision insurance rates with MetLife and no change to the county's method of calculating employee contributions: the county will continue to pay the single policy premium while employees pay the difference for family coverage.
The board recorded that Supervisor Greiman left the meeting at 10:35 a.m. and that Supervisor Jerry J. Tlach moved to adjourn at 10:48 a.m.; the motion carried. The board is scheduled to meet next on March 27, 2024.
