NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Personnel and Insurance Committee agrees to abide by the terms of the plan as set forth in the contract between the Group Insurance Board and the Administrator. The resolution shall be effective on the later of the 1^st of the month on or after 90 days following its receipt at the Department of Employee Trust Funds.

The proper officers are herewith authorized and directed to take all actions and make salary deductions for premiums and submit payments required by the State of Wisconsin Group Insurance Board to provide such Income Continuation Insurance.

Sauk County will pay the gross Income Continuation Insurance premium for a 30-day elimination period.

In the event the employer selected elimination period changes, an employee can choose a shorter elimination period than that offered by their employer and pay the difference in cost between their choice and elimination period for which the employer has elected to pay the gross premium.

The Personnel and Insurance Committee agrees for the County Administrator is authorized to file any other paperwork necessary to effectuate this change.

Approved for presentation to the County Board by the Personnel and Insurance Committee, this 16th day of April 2024.
