County assessor requests early-retirement health coverage; commissioners ask staff to investigate
Summary
County Assessor Dianne Reinart asked the commission to cover her health insurance at the active-employee rate until age 65 if she retires early, and said doing so would save about $81,700 in 2025 and roughly $138,000–$140,000 across 2025–2026; commissioners asked County Coordinator Lisa Zahl to study the proposal.
County Assessor Dianne Reinart told the commission she is considering early retirement and asked whether the county would continue to pay her health insurance at the same rate paid for active employees until she reaches age 65.
Reinart presented estimated budgetary savings tied to the proposal: approximately $81,700 in 2025 and about $138,000–$140,000 across 2025 and 2026. Commissioners did not take a vote; they asked County Coordinator Lisa Zahl to research the matter and report back.
The request was recorded as a staff follow-up for policy and budget implications; the minutes do not indicate whether the county has an established early-retirement health subsidy policy or what legal/contractual constraints might apply.
