Carroll County Conservation Director, Jason Christensen, says the odds of getting an allocation from the $5 million available is increased with local buy in. The city and county are being asked to pledge $100,000 each for a 20 percent total match. Another major topic of discussion is the renewal of employee health insurance for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. Pogge-Weaver says there is a slight increase in their partially self-funded plan. However, one issue is they have not made a plan design change since 2000. They will review a two-year phased design impacting co-pays and office visits, bringing them in line with the market. As of the end of March, the city has around $1 million in the medical insurance fund.
