Clark County Commissioners Approve Use of EDIT Funds for Health Insurance Premiums

From the Jeffersonville News and Tribune:
...

The commissioners also offered a plan for the county’s Economic Development Income Tax funds Thursday.

“The county has now virtually exhausted the money in its health insurance fund,” Fifer said. “In order to continue paying premiums after this month ... we now need to authorize that money to be spent from your EDIT funds.”

He said funds that will be paid out of EDIT include $860,000 for the Clark County Building Authority, of which half has already been paid; $1.2 million to cover the group health insurance for the remainder of the year; and a probate administrator salary for $41,500.

The EDIT plan — resolution 6-2012 — was unanimously approved.
