Resolution 07-08 Restate Cafeteria Plan
under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
Sandra Hash explained the Town already has a Section 125 Plan and
the person who administered the plan has since sold her company to another
company called BASIC. BASIC revised the
plan with the same information. This
resolution restates the Town accepts the Cafeteria Plan Section 125 which
allows the employees not to pay Federal Tax on their health insurance
premiums.
David
Drake made a motion we adopt Resolution 07-08.
Dianna Bastin seconded. Motion
carried.
Resolution 08-08 Transfer between Funds
Sandra Hash stated Resolution 03-08 transferred $3,000 from the
K-9 Donation Fund to the Law Enforcement Continuing Education Fund. After the fact, she realized State Statute
dictates what can be put into the Law Enforcement Continuing Education Fund and
it does not allow for donations. Sandra
would like to move the money back to the K-9 Donation Fund. Wal-Mart has instructed, in writing, the
grant can be used by the Police for training, education or equipment. The letter is authority enough to spend the
money on the exercise equipment. The
Resolution is a bookkeeping procedure.
Brian
Mobley made a motion for Resolution 08-08 Transfer between Funds. Dianna Bastin seconded. Motion carried.

to the rank of Captain at the Curry Pike Station, Rocky Sexton to the rank of
Sergeant at the Curry Pike Station, Mike Stalcup and Chris Clouse to the ranks
