NORTH CAROLINA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY C~OMMI$SIONER$ <br /> <br /> TO: Chairmen ~ ~ ~_ <br /> FROM: Buck O'Shields, Presiden~~ <br /> Ron Aycock, Executive Director~ <br /> <br /> DATE: February 11, 1981 <br /> <br /> SUBJECT: Association Sponsored Workers' Compensation Group <br /> Self-Insured Pool <br /> <br /> Thank you for your county's prompt response to our survey on Workers' <br /> Compensation. 8] counties have responsed to the survey. The infor- <br /> mation was used in our study of the ~easibility of establishing an <br /> Association sponsored Group Workers' Compensation Self-Insured Plan. <br /> <br />The results of that study were presented to the Association Board at <br />its February. meeting. The study indicated that there indeed would be <br />a potential substantial savings to counties if a group self-insurance <br />plan were to be established. This conclusion is supported by experi- <br />ence with similar plans offered to counties by State Associations in <br />other states. <br /> <br />The Association Board accepted the results of the study and voted to <br />endorse the concept of an Association sponsored group self-insurance <br />pool. It was decided that such a self-insurance plan would be estab- <br />lished if a sufficient number of counties elected to participate. <br /> <br />The nationally prominent brokerage firm, the Fred S. James & Company, <br />was selected to provide administrative services to the Association in <br />this endeavor. James' representatives will be contacting county <br />managers in the near future to explain the proposed plan and to determine <br />if your county desires to participate. If a sufficient number of <br />counties elect to participate, we plan to implement the program on <br />July 1, 1981. <br /> <br />cc: County Managers <br /> <br /> <br />
