APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
♦ MR. ROBERT HIBBITTS, SEDGWICK JAMES OF THE CAROLINAS, INC.:
Hibbitts said his agency wanted to express appreciation to the counties participating in the self-funded
insurance pool. The program is engineered toward the needs of counties, e.g., landfills, OSHA, jails,
etc. He mentioned the overall goal of the program was to provide stable and reliable insurance
coverage that saves county governments money. Around 446/o of the revenues received by the
program goes back into the commissioner's association, which is then used for lobbying, seminars,
commissioner schools, etc Since the program was created, no counties have been canceled from the
pool.
Mashburn mentioned that recently an Iredell County Sheriffs Dept. canine was injured and had
to be replaced. The insurance from this program covered the animal's replacement costs.
♦ MRS. JANE SRAIL, PRESENTATION OF NATURAL INVENTORY AREAS
STUDY: Srail presented a copy of this study which was done by the Iredell County Natural Heritage
Inventory group (volunteer) through a grant. She mentioned the finished product was professionally
done by a researcher/botanist from Raleigh, N.C. Iredell County has a total of 13 natural community
types and all of them, except for one, are privately owned. Srail said that "broad corridors of space"
should be set aside for the protection of the natural areas.
