The contract renewal year is from August 1, 2000 to August 1, 2001. Hall County's contribution level when up from last year from $215,000.00 to $239,000.00. NIRMA's cost went up 15% and the NIRMA board voted to use some of the interest to offset some of the increase. Hall County's work-comp experience mod was on the high side and Jason Clancy has worked with Hall County this last year. Our experience mod was 1.34 and now it is 1.21. Landis stated that Hall County appreciates everything that Jason has done. Larry stated that the mod factor should be even lower next year. Since Jack Mills retired his position as executive director has been replaced Scott Sidwell as executive director of NACO and Craig Nelson as the executive director of NIRMA.
