ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/INSURANCE/BIDS

Discussion occurred regarding the County's self-insured program and the bid for claims management services.

Commr. Carson explained that several firms had applied, offering us this type of service, through our consultants Siver & Associates. The Insurance Committee wanted a firm with a local office and stated that Siver & Associates had recommended Johns Eastern Company because their company offered loss control services, whereas the other proposers did not.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board accepted the bid for claims management services from Johns Eastern Company, Inc., Sarasota, Florida, for the period beginning 9/30/85 through 9/30/86, at a cost of $2,400.00 for administrative fees, and claims adjusting services at hourly rates of $32.00, $.30 per mile, $1.75 per color photograph, 27% of the service fee for clerical functions and 7.2% of the service fee for local telephone service. Loss control services were offered on an optional basis at a fee of $400.00 per day.

Discussion occurred regarding the proposal received from the Great Age Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $78,492.00, to construct the proposed exercise yard for the Lake County jail.

On a motion by Commr. Deems, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the Board approved to increase the amount of funds to $78,500.00, to cover the proposal received from the Great Age Construction Company, Inc., in the amount of $78,492.00, to construct the proposed exercise yard for the Lake County jail.

COUNTY PROPERTY/PUBLIC HEALTH

Discussion occurred regarding the bill received from the appraiser in the amount of $1,400.00, regarding the old County Nursing Home and the property involved, which is owned by the County.

Commr. Deems stated that the Building Committee had told Mental Health that the County would consider selling the old nursing home and the road frontage involved if they would like to hire an appraiser, at their expense, and get it appraised. If, in the event something could be worked out, the County would split the cost of the appraisal with them. The appraised value was estimated at around $800,000.00, which the Building Committee wished not to consider, as they felt it was worth more than that (included the nursing home, welfare building, and all the frontage property that.the County owns).

Commr. Deems advised Mental Health that the Building Committee was not interested in these figures: therefore, Mental Health notified the appraiser that they would no longer need his services, and received a bill from him in the amount of $1,400.00.

There was a discrepancy over the bill, due to the fact that Mental Health did not receive any type of paperwork from the appraiser. The bill received by Mental Health was strictly for the services of the appraiser.
