Summary
County Clerk Jessica Cole notified commissioners of a workers' compensation premium increase and the commission directed her to begin a request for proposals; the minutes do not state the premium amount or provide a vote tally.
County Clerk Jessica Cole notified the McDonald County Commission Nov. 10 that the county's workers' compensation premiums would increase, and commissioners directed her to begin a request for proposals (RFP) for workers' compensation coverage, the minutes state.
Clerk Jessica Cole is recorded as the source of the notice; the minutes do not specify how much premiums will rise or when the increase takes effect. The commission’s direction to start an RFP was recorded as action in the minutes but does not include a formal roll-call vote or the names of a mover or seconder.
The RFP direction assigns the procurement task to the clerk's office to solicit competitive proposals for workers' compensation premiums. The minutes do not include details about the RFP timeline, evaluation criteria, budgetary limits or whether existing coverage will remain in place during the procurement process.
The commission adjourned the meeting and scheduled reconvening for Nov. 12, 2025. The minutes entry does not reference additional documents or supporting materials regarding the premium increase or the RFP.
