WELLSBURG -- The Brooke County Commission voted Tuesday to renew its workers' compensation policy with Encova, formerly known as Brickstreet.
The cost of the compensation will be $74,158, to be paid in quarterly installments.
"This is down from last year," Commissioner Stacey Wise said. "It's (down) a little, not a lot."
The first installment due is $18,540.
The commission also approved the following budget revisions: Office of Emergency Services for $6,547; Commission for $2,250; prosecuting attorney for $842; the courthouse for $10,062.64; and probation for $25.
There were several staffing changes mentioned in the meeting.
The commissioners voted to hire Billie J. Ratliff as a part-time dispatcher at the 911 center.
They also accepted the resignation letters of Nichole Jackson and Zach Ferrari from the Brooke County Emergency Medical Services.
Jackson thanked the commissioners for a "great experience" in her letter.
The commissioner also received a request from the Brooke County Economic Development Authority to have Chris Manack-Stover to be appointed to their board.
Commissioners are postponing the vote until they can verify if the board is currently at capacity.
