Clerk reports unexpected insurance charge, Facebook comments paused and credit-card authorization discussed
Summary
Clerk/Treasurer Michelle Atterbury reported unexpected health-insurance charges of about $1,923.39 from former provider Exemplar, recommended turning off Facebook comments after personal attacks, and the board authorized her to consult People's Bank about separate credit cards for staff purchases.
Clerk/Treasurer Michelle Atterbury told the board the village received unexpected charges from former health-insurance provider Exemplar totaling approximately $1,923.39 related to contractual obligations after an employee resigned. She said the village’s insurance agent initially advised ignoring the charges but later acknowledged they were valid.
Atterbury also recommended turning off comments on the village Facebook page (or discontinuing the page) after negative and personal comments appeared on a recent post about snow shoveling; the board agreed to pause comments and discuss the broader question with Chief Small at the next meeting. She further recommended obtaining separate credit cards for Leitzinger and Chief Small to avoid staff paying personally and seeking reimbursement; the board authorized her to consult People's Bank about issuing cards for key staff and possibly the library.
