Sick Leave Pay-out for Elected Officials: Handout was provided of a proposed policy to be

counties handle this situation will be provided at a future meeting and the policy re-considered at
that time. No action was taken.
Health Insurance: Abeles-Allison reported that non-represented employees will be utilizing the
modified plan (double deductible) retroactive to January 1, 2011. The premium will reflect an
8% increase rather than a 19% increase. AFSCME and WPPA groups have not yet held
membership votes on this topic, but are expected in the next week.
State Budget Repair Bill and 2-year Budget Proposal Implications: A 16-page summary of
the impact to counties was developed by WCA and was emailed to all county board supervisors
and department heads. Two additional handouts were provided that outlined current actions by
WCA and a recommendation by WCA for counties to form a “Transition Committee” to work
through a timeline and modifications that each county will need to make to accommodate the
budget repair and budget challenges. This topic will be discussed at the full county board
meeting next week.
