31 <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Presentation of Self-Funding for Cabarrus County Insurance <br /> <br /> Mr. Everette Arnold, Executive Director of the Guilford City/County <br />Insurance Advisory Committee, reviewed a self-funding proposal for Workers' <br />Compensation as well as Liability and Property Insurance for Cabarrus County. The <br />County is currently insured through the North Carolina Association of County <br />Commissioners insurance pool. In comparing the self-insured versus group/insured <br />premium, Mr. Arnold estimated that based upon Cabarrus County Workers' <br />Compensation experience, the County would have saved $964,435.00 plus interest <br />if self funded six years ago. <br /> <br /> Chairman Barnhart appointed Commissioners Fennel and Payne to work with Mr. <br />Witherspoon and Mr. Blair Bennett, Finance Director, and bring back a specific <br />recommendation to the Board relative to the self-funding of Cabarrus County <br />insurance. <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Nursing and Domiciliary Home Community Advisory Committees Annual <br />Reports - Ms, Debi Lee, Ombudsman <br /> <br /> Ms. Vickie Harris, Chairman of the Domiciliary Home Community Advisory <br />Committee, reported there were no major problems in any of the sixteen (16) <br />domiciliary homes in the county during the past year.
