Will they have the same, hopefully positive, feelings toward their employer and supervisor? Early retirement programs are often instituted by companies undergoing stressful and uncertain rimes. ~raying around may seem .almost as difficult as leaving. You may be unable or unwilling to make financial decisions until these ei11orional and psychological issues are confronted. The other level of concern is financial. Obviously, you have two choices: do I stay, or do I go' If you choose to stay, what is the fmancial health of the company' Should you take the money and rUn? If you stay, what are the prospects for career promotions and pay increases' Will staying merely postpone an inevitable Cflrcer change, under perhaps less advantageous circumstances? Of course; leaving is also fraught with uncertainty. If you intend to pursue another position, n1any experts have suggested that your job search will last about one month for every $-10,000 in compensation paid by the former employer. · Many early retirees become <:)ltreprencurs, so the prospects fpr a new busmcss and th e need for start-up capital must be considered. . When evaluating the retire- ment offer itself, there are also a variety of potential pitfalls. Health insurance is a major concern for many, so find out whether you will continue to· be covered. Employers with defined benefit plans may be granting additional years of service or assuming early retirees are older than their actual age for purposes of computing their benefit. The employer · may . also offer some additional benefit to tide the employee over until age 62 when they can begin to collect Social Security. Tax issues also come into play. Numerous special rules may apply. For example, those who were at least 60 on Jan 1, 1996, may qualifY to use 10-year forward averaging. Those who are 55 or older when they receive their retirement plan distribution are noc subject to the 10 percent penalty. If you elect to pursue the sub. stantially equal payment exception to the 10 percent penalty, the payments must continue for the longer of five years or turning age 59-112. Of course, this brief article is no substitute for a careful consideration of aU of the advantages and disadvantages of this matter in light "of your unique personal circuJnstances. Before implementing anY significant tax or financial planning strategy, corttact your probably becawe the recent winters have been very mild. Hopefully, a typical winter this year will help control their numbers next year. Unforrurutely, the Extemion Office nor any other government agency is authorized to spray for lady beetles.

The state and community are joining forces to improve the town park, according to Mayor George Nichols. Work began Tuesday on a new pernunent courtesy boat dock at the park.

Bob Dittmar, DJackson, the. dock will extend 40 feet fium shore with a 32-foot extension downstream to allow anglers and boaters a safe and convenient way to launch and retrieve their boats. Nichols said the dock will be at nor- mal pool. He said the levy has been very congested because boaters have not had facilities to tie-up their boats when unloading or preparing to load them on trailers. "Without the dock, we've had a lot of problems with boat damage," Nichols said. Funding for the project, which is expected to be completed in 10 days, included $20,000 fium the budget dtgest and $20,000 from the Division of Natur. al Resources (DNR) Wildlife Funds. Bernie Dowler, chief of the DNR's Wildlife Division, said DNR funds are provided through hunting and fishing licenses.

FROM STAFF REPORTS BY JoHN McCARTHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER COLUMBUS The unions that have been critical to Democrats in Ohio need to set aside the ambivalence some feel about the presidential election for AI Gore co have a chance at carrying the state Nov. 7, Ohio's top union chief said. · The AFLCIO is gearing up a getout-the-vote drive across the state this week to dis~ pel any indifference, William Burga, presiGore dent of the union's Ohio organization, said Saturday. Low unemployment and a strong overall national economy have left many · union members without a rallying point to get behind Gore and oppose Republican George W Dush, he said. Add to that the distractions caused by local squabbles such as the 14-month lockout by · AK Steel in Mansfield and it will be more difficult to energize union members this year than it was ih 1992, when Ohio played an important part in President C linton 's victory, llurga said. The AFL-CIO, with 800,000 1ilembers in Ohio, long has been instrumental in )1dping to elect Democrats, with their get- out-the-vote drives, door-to-door leaflet drops and cash for candidates. This year, Burga is concerned. "In 1992, un employment was high : People were losing jobs on a regular basis. Now, people are generally working and unemployment is at record lows. They really haven't focused on this election as they did in 1992," Burga said. " This cime, I don't think they want to see a change in policy, but they're going to get it if they elect Bush." · The face of Ohio's unions is changing as well and chat's affecting ,the Democrats' campaigns, said William Binning, a political scientist at Youngstown State University in heavily unionized northeast Ohio.

Bloomfield said a N ew York operator told her the address on the invoice was invalid and ,that the closest-sounding company was Sur Systems. , " ! talked to a guy there who said he had received 20 other calls about the invoice," she told The Columbus Dispatch. One of those calls came from a medical clinic in Austin, Texas.

In thelf eagerness to off'et the voters election-year goodies- tax cuts here. new Medicare benefits there -both AI Gore and George W Bush have bought into the fuzziest math of all: the way the federal government figures its books .... lfWashington takes in more than it spends. it calls that amount a surplus. which politicians line up to spend or rebate as a tax cut. But by any real-world accounting, most of that "surplus' is an illusion. 1 When econonusts W1lliam Gale of the· Brookings Institution and Alan J. Auerbach of UC Ilerkdey, using standard accounting and realistic assumptions, recently refigured that 10-year, $4.6-trillion surplus Ilush and Gore like to talk. about, it dwindled to S1.2 hll lion. But the candidates continue to pretend otherwise.... Saving the surplus today against the demographic storms of tomorrow is th e only way to make that challenge less wrenching. Gore promi ses more goodies than he can prudently deliver, but at least he sees the cloud .

There are 62 days left in the year. · Tod•y's Highlight in History: On Oct. 30. 1938, the radio play "The War of the Worlds," starring Orson Welles, aired on CBS. (The live drama, which employed fake news reports, panicked some listeners who thought its portrayal of a Martian invasion was true.) On this date: In 1735, the second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1Hg5 , poet Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho. In I'J44 , the Martha Graham ballet "Appalachian Spring," with mu sic by AJron Copla nd, premiered at the Library of Congress, with Graham in ,, k.tding role. In 1945. the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing. In 1%1, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb with a force c~timatnl <rt ~K megatom.

To be a full-time commissioner? I think not. If not, who will be the loser? Your clients or the taxpayer. . In your ad. you used terms like "have been advised." Advised by who, Mr. Knight? Are you running your campaign on gossip and half-truths? If no~. let the public in on where you're getting your information. Maybe the Meigs County Commissioners are doing s~ch a good job it looks like easy money. Yes, Mr. Knight, you were our County Court judge, but don't forget you were voted out of office by the people.

Dear Ann Landers: I read the column from the Presidential candidates qff base on surplus projection • The Beaufort (S.C.) Gazette. on Co11gress spentli"g the surplus: Whik Al Cort" and Ceorgr W.

That alone grinds th e plans of Gore and Bush into so much baloney. although neither WJII likely acknowledge as much, seeing as hmy they would then have to revise their whole campaigns. There are two points here that ought to cause some discohtforr , to peoplt• in ou r great democracy. One is' that you (annat put money 111 ti·unt of C:ongress in an election year without it being slurped up like slop in a hog trough. The other is, both of the candidates' m.JjDr pledges to the voters will have · been based on a wo man m the retirement home in Wisconsin . She hst,•d several DOs and DON'Ts for visitors. I will \oon be moving to a retirement centt!r, and thank (;od l am financially able to do so. I am grateful for the opportunity to live m such a place and remain 1nd~pe~1dent .

(their) final debate, is how to · use the t\:Jeral budget surplus. The question they didn't answer, or get asked. " .m even l;>igger one: What budget surplus? In thelf eagerness to off'et the voters election-year goodies- tax cuts here. new Medicare benefits there -both AI Gore and George W Bush have bought into the fuzziest math of all: the way the federal government figures its books .... lfWashington takes in more than it spends. it calls that amount a surplus. which politicians line up to spend or rebate as a tax cut. But by any real-world accounting, most of that "surplus' is an illusion. 1 When econonusts W1lliam Gale of the· Brookings Institution and Alan J. Auerbach of UC Ilerkdey, using standard accounting and realistic assumptions, recently refigured that 10-year, $4.6-trillion surplus Ilush and Gore like to talk. about, it dwindled to S1.2 hll lion. But the candidates continue to pretend otherwise.... Saving the surplus today against the demographic storms of tomorrow is th e only way to make that challenge less wrenching. Gore promi ses more goodies than he can prudently deliver, but at least he sees the cloud . Bush would lead the country into the squall without a raincoat or boots. • Deseret News, Salt Lake City, oil the cost of a college degree: The price of a four-year college de~ree continues to rise faster than inflation , with tuition and fees at 'public colleges and universities up an average uf 4.-.t percent over the previous year and even more at private schoo ls. Colleges and unive,ities have large fixed costs in terms of personnel and fac11ities. Their budgets are further challenged by unfunded federal mandates that cover everything from access for people with disabilities to "hazardous waste" disposal. Colleges and universines are further hamstrung by the sharp increases in the cost of lab supplies and library, materials.

There are 62 days left in the year. · Tod•y's Highlight in History: On Oct. 30. 1938, the radio play "The War of the Worlds," starring Orson Welles, aired on CBS. (The live drama, which employed fake news reports, panicked some listeners who thought its portrayal of a Martian invasion was true.) On this date: In 1735, the second president of the United States, John Adams, was born in Braintree, Mass. In 1Hg5 , poet Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho. In I'J44 , the Martha Graham ballet "Appalachian Spring," with mu sic by AJron Copla nd, premiered at the Library of Congress, with Graham in ,, k.tding role. In 1945. the U.S. government announced the end of shoe rationing. In 1%1, the Soviet Union tested a hydrogen bomb with a force c~timatnl <rt ~K megatom. In l<J(1I , the Soviet Parry Congress unanimously approved a resolution ordering th e removal of Jmef Stalin's body from Lerli·n's tomb. In I'!72, 45 people we re kdlecl when an Illinois Central Gulf commuter train collided with another train 111 Chica go 's South S1de.

Addresses ad Rethink priorities Dear Editor: Concerning Charles Knight's campaign ad of Oct. 19: If elected commissioner, Mr. Knight, are you going to give up your lu crative law practice? To be a full-time commissioner? I think not. If not, who will be the loser? Your clients or the taxpayer. . In your ad. you used terms like "have been advised." Advised by who, Mr. Knight? Are you running your campaign on gossip and half-truths? If no~. let the public in on where you're getting your information. Maybe the Meigs County Commissioners are doing s~ch a good job it looks like easy money. Yes, Mr. Knight, you were our County Court judge, but don't forget you were voted out of office by the people. I have one question. Were you the lead prosecutor in the Fred Priddy case? Yes, Mr. Knight,' I will be talking to my neighbors and friends about "not" voti.ng for you. Jean Grueser Racine Dear Editor: It is amazing that attempts are being made by some politicians to overturn the DeRolph decision, which in essence made only two important discoveries which needed to be corrected. One is that all public school students in the state of Ohio do not have access to a thorough and efficient education as mandated by the Ohio Constitution. The other is that the reason for these educational disparities is the result of. years and years of trying to fund schools with a system that is too reliant upon local property taxes.

No trace of the boy had bfen found. Helicopters had scanned the mountainous area, and police dogs and dozens of searchers on foot had covered the terrain in a fourmile radius of the where the truck had been parked, about 30 miles east of Salt Lake City. But Summit County sheriff's Deputy Rob Berry said police dogs had failed to even pick up th ..scent of Gage Wayment.

WASHINGTON (AP) - In no rush to leave the Capitol despite an impending election, Republican congrcss10nal leaders say they will negotiate but not capitulate to President Clinton in this year's end-of-session budget and tax banle. "He's basically saying, 'Give me what I want or I'm going to keep you here: " said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. "And we're prepared to say, 'Fine. We'll stay."' · The chances of avoiding that outcome improved as negotiators, working past m.idnighr. closed in on a deal on one of the lasr big unfinished bills, a $35.0.billion measure to fund labor, education and health programs in fiscal 2001. While · the details remained to be worked our, general agreemencs were reached early Monday on money for school modernization and new workplace ergonomics rules. On ergonomics, the Clinton adminis~tion will be allowed to promulgate new rules to reduce rcpcunve-monon mjuries and other work-related illnesses, but the rules won't go mco effec~ until next year, when business groups that oppose the rules hope that a Republican president, George W. Bush, will rescind them. ' . The White House and congressional negotiators also agreed to provide $1 billion for school modernization grants, a White House priority, and $300 million for special education and school equipment, a GOP priority. Even though the House is up for grabs in the Nov. 7 election, GOP leaders appeared content during a rare Sunday session to stand their grOund on other outstanding issues as Congress approved another 24-hour extension of federal operations. Only seven of the 13. annual spending bills have been signed into law almost a month into the new fiscal year, but there was no sense of urgency among lawmakers to adjourn in time for the final few days of campaigning. LOS ANGELES (AP) - In the wake of the fatal police shooting of a man wielding a roy gun at a Halloween party, the Los Angeles Police Deparmlent is once again on the defensive as the victim's friends question . why the officer pulled the trigger.

A costume parry there had drawn hundreds of partygoers, some dressed as police officers, according ro guests. It also drew the officers, who were invt.-stigating a noise complaint.

MO."'diiJ, Cktablr SO, 2101 MONDAY's NEW YORK (AP) - The sixth U.S. warship damaged by hostile action in the Middle East in 33 years, the destroyer USS Cole also is the second to return home riding piggyback on a larger vessel. The technique was previously used in 1988 to transport the missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts after it was nearly sunk by an Iranian mine in the Per~ sian Gulf. The carrier that time was a chartered Dutch cargo vessel. Over the weekend, the 8,600ton Cole was towed from its · ~oori~g in Aden's harbor to an offihorc rendezvous with the Norwegian heavy-lift ship Blue Marlin and the start of it< 6,000mile trip back to the East Coast. The Cole, one of the Navy's most advanced combat' ship s, was refueling at Aden on Oct. 12 when an explosives-laden suicide boat blasted a hole in ·its side, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39. Two terrorist~ on the boat also apparently perished. others in a small room . Hopper fired through the glass when he allegedly saw Lee point a fake gun at him. "He had no way of knowing it was fake even though people were in costume. If you feel your life is threatened. you react in the way you were· trained," said Officer Charlotte Broughton, a police Spokeswoman. "I think most people can undentand where we're coming fiom as far as what we have to do. We're risking our lives every day," she added. The shooting will be investigated by the police department and the county district attorney's office. Lee had been wearing a black sweat shirt, a black vest and tan ?ants, said county coroner's Lt. Dan Aikin. It was not immediately clear if he was wearing a mask. Friends described Lee as a devout Buddhist who tried to interest others in his beliefS and whose acting career was gaining momentunl.

'· Dill on, who set an NFL record with 278 yards last week, didn't make history and this time Ak.ili 8mith didn't even taunt rhe Dawg Pound. Of course, the Bengals didn't have to do much to beat the Browns. The Bengals (2-6), who hadn't scored in any of their first three road games this season, did just enough to send Cleveland (2-7) to its sixth straight loss. "We're in a position to win, but we're just not making plays," said Browns coach C hris Palmer, who wouldn't get an argument from the 73,118 fans at Sunday's game. "On defense, we didn't tackJe well.

Search off for missing boy SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -The search for a 2-year-old boy who di<appeared afrer his father lefi him in a truck whi le he checked out a hunting area Thursday was called off late Sunday. No trace of the boy had bfen found. Helicopters had scanned the mountainous area, and police dogs and dozens of searchers on foot had covered the terrain in a fourmile radius of the where the truck had been parked, about 30 miles east of Salt Lake City. But Summit County sheriff's Deputy Rob Berry said police dogs had failed to even pick up th ..scent of Gage Wayment. Gage's father told authorities the boy had been in pajamas when he disappeared, and officials said there was litde chance the child could have survived three nights of rain, snow and freezing temperatures. WASHINGTON (AP) - In no rush to leave the Capitol despite an impending election, Republican congrcss10nal leaders say they will negotiate but not capitulate to President Clinton in this year's end-of-session budget and tax banle. "He's basically saying, 'Give me what I want or I'm going to keep you here: " said Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss. "And we're prepared to say, 'Fine. We'll stay."' · The chances of avoiding that outcome improved as negotiators, working past m.idnighr. closed in on a deal on one of the lasr big unfinished bills, a $35.0.billion measure to fund labor, education and health programs in fiscal 2001. While · the details remained to be worked our, general agreemencs were reached early Monday on money for school modernization and new workplace ergonomics rules. On ergonomics, the Clinton adminis~tion will be allowed to promulgate new rules to reduce rcpcunve-monon mjuries and other work-related illnesses, but the rules won't go mco effec~ until next year, when business groups that oppose the rules hope that a Republican president, George W. Bush, will rescind them. ' . The White House and congressional negotiators also agreed to provide $1 billion for school modernization grants, a White House priority, and $300 million for special education and school equipment, a GOP priority. Even though the House is up for grabs in the Nov. 7 election, GOP leaders appeared content during a rare Sunday session to stand their grOund on other outstanding issues as Congress approved another 24-hour extension of federal operations. Only seven of the 13. annual spending bills have been signed into law almost a month into the new fiscal year, but there was no sense of urgency among lawmakers to adjourn in time for the final few days of campaigning. LOS ANGELES (AP) - In the wake of the fatal police shooting of a man wielding a roy gun at a Halloween party, the Los Angeles Police Deparmlent is once again on the defensive as the victim's friends question . why the officer pulled the trigger. Anthony Dwain Lee's friends planned to hold a vigil Monday night outside the police division where Officer Tarriel Hopper is stationed. Some questioned whether Hopper was guilry of racial profiling in shooting Lee . while investigating a n'oise complaint at a West Los Angeles mansion early Saturday. A costume parry there had drawn hundreds of partygoers, some dressed as police officers, according ro guests. It also drew the officers, who were invt.-stigating a noise complaint. Police said Hopper and his partner arrived at the Benedict Canyon mansion about 1 a.m. Saturday, and were searching for the owner when they looked through a windoW and saw Lee and two Page 81_ Indeed, wtth unH.• so shnrt and political advertising aln·ady in the ptpchne.

"We're negotiating from a po~irion of strengrh;' said John Feehery, spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill. Republicans appeared on the Hou se floor Sunday night with a huge sign that read : "How much is enough?" · Clinton faced a decisiol} Monday on whether to sign a package containing the $30.3 billion Treasury Department bill, a $2.5 billion measure financing Congres.~· own operations and a bill repealing the 3 percent federal telephone tax. The White House opened the door to a possible veto over the timing of the tax repeal, bringing howls of protest from Republicans but, again, vow< not to panic. MO."'diiJ, Cktablr SO, 2101 MONDAY's NEW YORK (AP) - The sixth U.S. warship damaged by hostile action in the Middle East in 33 years, the destroyer USS Cole also is the second to return home riding piggyback on a larger vessel. The technique was previously used in 1988 to transport the missile frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts after it was nearly sunk by an Iranian mine in the Per~ sian Gulf. The carrier that time was a chartered Dutch cargo vessel. Over the weekend, the 8,600ton Cole was towed from its · ~oori~g in Aden's harbor to an offihorc rendezvous with the Norwegian heavy-lift ship Blue Marlin and the start of it< 6,000mile trip back to the East Coast. The Cole, one of the Navy's most advanced combat' ship s, was refueling at Aden on Oct. 12 when an explosives-laden suicide boat blasted a hole in ·its side, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39. Two terrorist~ on the boat also apparently perished. others in a small room . Hopper fired through the glass when he allegedly saw Lee point a fake gun at him. "He had no way of knowing it was fake even though people were in costume. If you feel your life is threatened. you react in the way you were· trained," said Officer Charlotte Broughton, a police Spokeswoman. "I think most people can undentand where we're coming fiom as far as what we have to do. We're risking our lives every day," she added. The shooting will be investigated by the police department and the county district attorney's office. Lee had been wearing a black sweat shirt, a black vest and tan ?ants, said county coroner's Lt. Dan Aikin. It was not immediately clear if he was wearing a mask. Friends described Lee as a devout Buddhist who tried to interest others in his beliefS and whose acting career was gaining momentunl.

"Even· · if we cheat, not they we are, as long as we gei a win, then whateyer works." · ·For rhe second straight week, Corey Dillon did most of the work for the Bengals, rushing for 137 yards and one touchdown Sunday as the Bengals won their second straight with a 12-3 victory over the banged-up C leveland Browns. ' "That was like old-time foorball and for an old defensive coach this was a very pretty game," said Bengals throwback coach Dick LeBeau, who considers the forward pass an evil act. "We ran the ball well. It doesn't get any better than this." '· Dill on, who set an NFL record with 278 yards last week, didn't make history and this time Ak.ili 8mith didn't even taunt rhe Dawg Pound. Of course, the Bengals didn't have to do much to beat the Browns. The Bengals (2-6), who hadn't scored in any of their first three road games this season, did just enough to send Cleveland (2-7) to its sixth straight loss. "We're in a position to win, but we're just not making plays," said Browns coach C hris Palmer, who wouldn't get an argument from the 73,118 fans at Sunday's game. "On defense, we didn't tackJe well. On offense, we had lot of dropped balls. We have to ger back to fundamentals." That's been the difference for rhe Bengals under LeBeau, w ho took over when Bruce Coslct resigned earli er this season.

WOOF! 1 Usually, if you find a clever play at the bridge table, colum· nists want to hear about it. Go wrong, and no one cares •• unless it is an instructive error. Which applies in this deal? It was declared ~y one of England's best junior players, Richard Prob· st. East opened with a weak no· trump, showing 12-14 points. South's two-spade overcall promised at least 5·4 in spades and either minor. (If deciding how to compete against a one-notrump opening, whether weak or strong, try to show as many twosuiters as possible, because it doubles your chance of hitting a fit.) After taking the first two tricks with hi s top clubs, East switched to. the spade three. Probst ducked that to West's queen, and won the nex.t trick with dummy's spade jack. Decl arer ·had lost three tricks and was faced with a diamond loser. But if he could win four heart tricks, hi s two diamond losers could be discarded. West had shown up wilh three points, the spade queen and club jack, so East was marked with everything else. Probst call ed for lhe heart jack : queen. king. four. Declarer drew the mi ssing trump, played his heart nine to dummy's ace, and continued · with I he heart eight, East playing low smoothly. Who had the heart I 0? Probst made the winning play, discarding a diamond : Afterwards, he said that he felt East was more likely to cover the heart jack from Q- 10-x-x than from Q-x-x. Normally true, but not when East knows that declarer know s he has the queen . East is forced to cover whatever hi s holding. • 992-1101 s mo 131 \ thing that 's not obvi ous to your peers.

WOOF! 1 Usually, if you find a clever play at the bridge table, colum· nists want to hear about it. Go wrong, and no one cares •• unless it is an instructive error. Which applies in this deal? It was declared ~y one of England's best junior players, Richard Prob· st. East opened with a weak no· trump, showing 12-14 points. South's two-spade overcall promised at least 5·4 in spades and either minor. (If deciding how to compete against a one-notrump opening, whether weak or strong, try to show as many twosuiters as possible, because it doubles your chance of hitting a fit.) After taking the first two tricks with hi s top clubs, East switched to. the spade three. Probst ducked that to West's queen, and won the nex.t trick with dummy's spade jack. Decl arer ·had lost three tricks and was faced with a diamond loser. But if he could win four heart tricks, hi s two diamond losers could be discarded. West had shown up wilh three points, the spade queen and club jack, so East was marked with everything else. Probst call ed for lhe heart jack : queen. king. four. Declarer drew the mi ssing trump, played his heart nine to dummy's ace, and continued · with I he heart eight, East playing low smoothly. Who had the heart I 0? Probst made the winning play, discarding a diamond : Afterwards, he said that he felt East was more likely to cover the heart jack from Q- 10-x-x than from Q-x-x. Normally true, but not when East knows that declarer know s he has the queen . East is forced to cover whatever hi s holding. • 992-1101 s mo 131 \ thing that 's not obvi ous to your peers.

Th e int er- departmental tran sfers were approved for the prosecutor's office, in the amo unts . of $4,000 and $1 ,00 4.96 ; County Court; S145 and $90; county co mmissioners, $7, 100; Board of Elections, $1 ,000 ; and grants office, $6,687 . An additional appropriation of $336 was also approved for the prosecuting attorn ey's budget. Janet H oward, president of the board, said the county will be nefi t financially from the conversio n of the . county 's he alth insuran ce plan from a self-funded plan to a private pl an under Anthem. H oward said that the county's general fund could save fro m $200,000 to $300,000 next year, because the commissioners have funded their selfinsurance plan at that level for the past two to three ye ars . Becaus e the commissioners . were unwilling to increase the county employees' premiums for the plan, th e commissioners were required to make up the difference by supplementing the fund used to pay claims . with money from the general fund . Now that the new plan is in pl ace, th e additional funding will not be n ecessary. U nder the old plan, premiums from employees and th e county, as employer, were place d in a fund th en used to pay the medical claims of parti cipatin g employees. That fund was usually insufficient to m eet the claims, however, and th e commissioners were required to make up the difference. Part of that differen ce was paid through the assess ment of a " user's fee" {or sp ecial revenu e agencies and other co un ty agencies not fu nded thrqugh the co unty's general fu nd . · T h at user's fe e was calculated b ased on th e fund s n eeded to p ay claims and th e number o f empl oyees in each d epartment, H oward said.
