Logan County commissioners approve credit card policy, accept audit and continue BCBS plan; utility permit passes 2–1
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Logan County Board adopted a county credit card policy, accepted the 2025 audit, approved continuation of the NACO BCBS group health plan with a $1,600 deductible and 60-day eligibility, and approved a Great Plains Communications utility permit in a 2–1 vote.
Logan County commissioners approved several administrative measures at their May 20 meeting, including a county credit card policy, acceptance of the audit for the budget year ending June 30, 2025, and continuation of the NACO Blue Cross Blue Shield group health plan with a $1,600 deductible and a 60-day eligibility waiting period effective July 1, 2026.
County Attorney Andrew Van Velson presented a draft credit card policy covering transactional and monthly limits; after discussion the board voted to adopt and implement the policy by motion of Jon Hill, seconded by Nathan Kramer. The audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, was approved by motion of Nathan Kramer, seconded by Jon Hill; the board accepted the audit as presented.
The board reviewed new Blue Cross Blue Shield rates, noting an average 4.68% increase in health insurance premiums and no change to dental rates. By motion of Nathan Kramer, seconded by Jon Hill, the board voted to continue the NACO BCBS Group Plan with the $1,600 deductible and a 60-day eligibility period, and to continue the Dental Indemnity Plan (Premier Option 14).
A split vote occurred on a Utility Permit Application from Great Plains Communications to construct fiber-to-the-home in various rural locations. The permit was approved with Yeas from Jon Hill and Lee Wonch and a Nay from Nathan Kramer. The minutes record the vote but provide no additional detail about Kramer’s objection.
Clerk Jennifer Nicholson asked to move the June check/payroll date from June 19 (observed Juneteenth) to June 18, 2026; the board granted permission.
These measures were routine administrative business for the board; none of the approvals included detailed budget amendments or long-term funding commitments in the minutes.
