Rate agreement with Indian Health Service moved to next week; payroll setup delays cited
Summary
Commissioners deferred action on a rate quote from the Indian Health Service because the agency had not submitted an updated contract; payroll staff said setting up changes could take time and might require retroactive payments effective July 1.
A staff member told the board that the Indian Health Service had not submitted a new contract with updated dates, so the county did not have the required paperwork to finalize the rate agreement. Payroll staff warned that setting up the new rate would "take her quite a while to get that set back up" and flagged the possibility of retroactive SCA payments due July 1 if implementation is delayed.
Given the missing contract and payroll setup time, commissioners agreed to move the item to next week to allow staff and the Indian Health Service to provide the required documents and payroll adjustments. The transcript does not include contract dollar amounts or a detailed timeline beyond the potential retroactive payment date.
