Sheriff discusses proposed contract with Thayne and county hears health plan stop‑loss premium increase
Summary
Sheriff Shane Johnson updated commissioners on talks to provide contracted law-enforcement services to the town of Thayne and on the frequency of search-and-rescue calls; insurance representative clarified an increase in stop‑loss premiums for the county health plan renewal.
Sheriff Shane Johnson told the Board that county staff is in discussions about entering a contract to provide law-enforcement services to the town of Thayne and updated commissioners on the frequency of search-and-rescue calls handled by the county.
Johnson did not present a finalized contract during the Sept. 7 meeting; his remarks were presented as an update. Separately, Dennis McCormack of McCormack Insurance joined by phone and clarified an increase in stop-loss premiums tied to the county’s health plan renewal.
The transcript records the updates and clarifications but does not show a motion to approve a Thayne contract or final terms for the health plan beyond the stop-loss premium increase clarification. Commissioners did not take final action on those items during the session.
The meeting record lists follow-up items for staff to continue negotiating any service contract and to return formal proposals for board consideration if/when available.
