Knox County commissioners approve workers' comp retrospective rating and amend LPA agreement; annexation tabled
Summary
At its March 26, 2006 meeting, the Knox County Board of Commissioners approved a County Commissioners Association of Ohio workers' compensation retrospective-rating item for 2027 and an amendment to a federal local project (LPA) agreement; an annexation was tabled pending deadline verification.
The Knox County Board of Commissioners on March 26, 2006 approved two administrative items and deferred an annexation while staff checks response deadlines.
Jason, a county staff member who ran the brief meeting, told commissioners the first item was approval of the County Commissioners Association of Ohio workers' compensation representative group retrospective rating for 2027. A commissioner moved to approve, another seconded, and the board carried the motion by voice vote; Jason said the action will require one signature.
Jason then described an amendment to the LPA (local public agency) federal local project agreement. He said the addendum is a coding/classification change to align accounting with federal reporting and "there's no monetary impact or anything like that to it." Jason explained that when federal funds flow through ODOT, the local county can manage smaller "local let" projects if staff have completed required training; he said Cameron and Clint have completed that training, which allows the county to manage some projects locally rather than having ODOT do so. A commissioner moved and seconded the amendment and the board approved it by voice vote.
An annexation item that had been listed on the agenda was tabled for the day. Jason said the county received the annexation paperwork on March 5 and that the allowable response window appears to be "30 to 45 days." He said staff will verify the exact deadline with the prosecutor and return the item to a future agenda.
Before adjourning, Jason warned staff about ongoing city work near the county building: crews have removed a crosswalk and are reworking curbs on Chestnut Street, and work on High Street was about to begin, which may affect pedestrian access. A commissioner noted elevator and technology matters in the building. The meeting closed after a short Palm Sunday greeting and a motion to adjourn.
