(KNZA)--Doniphan County will stay with the same employee health insurance policy for 2018.
County Clerk Peggy Franken presented the County Commission Monday with health insurance proposals for next year.
After reviewing the proposals, Commissioners on a 2-1 vote approved continuation of employee health insurance coverage through the state of Kansas employee health insurance policy, with an expected increase of 7.7 percent.
Commissioner Jerry McKernan cast the lone no vote.
In other business, the Commission voted to sign an engagement letter with the McPherson-based accounting firm, Swindoll Janzen Hawk and Loyd, LLC to perform an audit of the county treasurer’s office for a fee of $7,500 to $12,000.
The audit is being conducted due to the retirement of longtime County Treasurer Jacqueline Linck and commencement of the term of Treasurer-elect Lindsay Etherton.
The audit will begin September 1st and conclude October 31st.
