The

Fayette County Commission Thursday will continue

its discussion of proposed changes to the

county's employee insurance benefits.

Commissioners

April 5 agreed to convert to a preferred provider

plan to save money, paying more of employees'

medical costs through county insurance if they

use physicians and hospitals on the preferred

list.

But

they delayed choosing a particular preferred

provider carrier to gather more information.

Also

on the agenda Thursday will be appointment of two

members of the county Development Authority.

Authority Chairman Randy Hayes is to be

reappointed to an additional four-year term, and

it's recommended that Dot Kite be appointed to

fill the unexpired term of Sherrill Russ.

Several

rezoning items are on the commission agenda, but

all of them were tabled recently by the county

Planning Commission, which makes recommendations

to the Board of Commissioners. The commission

probably will table these items until the

Planning Commission takes action on them.

The

Planning Commission did recommend approval of a

new chapter on environmental and historic

resources for the county Land Use Plan, and

commissioners will consider that item Thursday.
