She estimated this cost to taxpayers at $100,000 to $120,000 annually, noting it is expected to increase. Kimbrough, a former county HR director, stated this change was made after her departure to accommodate one individual and suggested discussing removing this coverage before the renewal documents are signed. The possibility of retired employees paying their own way until Medicare eligibility was briefly discussed, although it was noted TAC might not allow this under the current structure, suggesting COBRA as an alternative.</p><p>The court agreed to discuss the retired employee coverage issue at a later meeting, potentially in a workshop format to review options presented by TAC.</p></div></body>
