“The thing that we did take a look at Monday night, and we have difficulty predicting because we don’t get those numbers until five or six months after the budget process, is the employee health insurance. I’m aware that we’ve had some large claims this year so we elected to put in for a 15 percent increase in that,” Norem said.
Although the budget increase is 15 percent, Norem said the county’s First Source Insurance representative thinks it may be lower.
