Board approves confidential settlement in lawsuit with UnitedHealthcare
Summary
The board voted to settle litigation between OCH and UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and authorized the Board President to sign a confidential settlement agreement; the minutes do not disclose settlement terms.
Following an executive session called to discuss litigation and personnel matters, the Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors on May 4 voted to settle the pending lawsuit between OCH and UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and authorized Board President Marvel Howard to sign a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims.
The motion to enter executive session and the subsequent exit were recorded; the minutes state that the board approved the settlement on a motion by Supervisor Joe Williams, seconded by Supervisor Pattie Little. The minutes do not disclose settlement terms, the payment amount (if any), or other conditions; the agreement is described as confidential in the record.
Because the minutes are silent on the settlement amount and specific terms, the public record from this meeting provides only the procedural approval and the authorization for the board president to sign the confidential agreement.
