Any such request for a new ATV route or for a modification to an already existing ATV route must indicate which ATV organization will be responsible for purchasing signs for the route affected and the name of the contact person for said organization, although, if the request is granted, the Price County Highway Department will be responsible for the actual installation of such signs purchased by said ATV organization. However, the Price County Highway Commissioner may remove any route as a result of any problems or safety concerns pending a full report and decision upon such route by the Price County Highway Committee.

Opposition to 2009 Senate Bill 466 Relating to Regulation by the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of Self-insured Health Insurance Plans Offered by a City, Town, Village, County or School District

WHEREAS, Senate Bill 466 would require regulation by the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance (OCI) of all government-sponsored, self-insured health plans which could result in the imposition of numerous cost-prohibitive regulations which in turn, could lead to higher healthcare costs and/or a reduction in benefits for beneficiaries of these plans, or an increase in taxes to offset the costs and burden of administration; and WHEREAS, compliance with proposed annual reporting requirements would be very cost-prohibitive in terms of staffing and time for plan sponsors. Additionally, requiring administrators of plans to promptly reply to every request, in writing, would be very burdensome for administrators and could lead to penalties based on unintended non-responses; and WHEREAS, the proposal also provides for criminal penalties that could be assessed for inadvertent violations of the regulations, subjecting Plan Administrators to penalties and criminal exposures for violations is simply irresponsible. Making these people subject to this exposure may create a vacuum of availability of those willing to take such responsibility and will potentially drive the plans to move out of self funding; and WHEREAS, requiring reserves creates an undue burden on the Municipality; and WHEREAS, regulations designed to increase the administrative or oversight burden of self funded plans forces the municipalities to move into for profit insurance arrangements that could be more expensive and less flexible; and NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Price County Board of Supervisors does hereby oppose Senate Bill 466 pertaining to regulations of government sponsored self-insured health plans; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chairman of the Price County Board of Supervisors be directed to disseminate this resolution to the Wisconsin Governor, members of the State Legislature, all County Board Chairpersons, County Clerks, County Executives and County Administrators throughout Wisconsin and the
Wisconsin Counties Association. Price County Personnel Committee: s/Russell Kapitz, Chair; Richard Kelnhofer, Vice-chair; Gene Schneider, Bob Kopisch, Ron Heikkinen.
