Chairman Kirkton stated that he would like to amend the agenda to add line item b. Doug Saxton.  Motion by Holz, second by Goembel to approve the agenda as amendedMOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.

 

Kirkton then called for any additions or changes to the minutes of the April 4th, 2006 meeting.  Wahls requested that the minutes be amended as follows;

 

Sharon Peterson –AFLAC – The Committee advised Sharon Peterson that the county does not offer supplemental insurance to employees.  The Committee explained that the county can not endorse any specific insurance company, nor will they provide any information about employees to agents, nor will they allow sales persons to meet with employees during working hours or on county property.

 

Flott stated that this policy would not pertain to county endorsed programs such as the 457 plan or the counties medical plan. Karen Robinson then stated that currently in the benefits package given to new employees there is literature for supplemental insurance companies such as AFLAC.  The Committee advised Karen to remove those items from the benefits packet. 

 

Motion by Flott, second by Holz to approve the minutes as amended. MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.

 

Local Government Health Plan – FY ’07 Rates – Rick Sronce from the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, which provides the counties Local Government Health Plan, was present to review with the committee the changes to be effective for the FY’07.  Rick stated that there will be no significant change to the benefits package as far as deductibles, co-payments, coverage’s, etc. are concerned.  The County did receive a rate tier slippage from an A+ in FY’06 to an A in FY’07.  Rick explained that the rate tier is based on premiums paid in verses benefits paid out, age categories, the ratio of men to women, the size of the group, as well as demographics.  Rick explained that the average increase in premiums for the FY’07 for this plan is 11.5% with the national average of healthcare inflation being approximately 13%.  Livingston County’s premiums will increase 16.5% for the HMO plan (OSF & Health Alliance) and 19.8% for the PPO plan (Cigna).  Rick stated that the higher increase is due to the rate tier slippage; if Livingston County remained at a rate tier of A+ the premiums would increase 10.4% for the HMO plan and 10.7% for the PPO plan.  Rick also stated that the program itself continues to be cut by the State; he stated that the State had swept $2 million in the year 2004 and also again in the year 2005.  The Committee then discussed the appeal process for the rate tier slippage.  Motion by Wahls, second by Weber to appeal the tier slippage and instruct bookkeeping to proceed with the appeal process.  MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES.

 

Doug Saxton – Doug presented the Committee with a condensed list compiled from all the requests made by department heads.  He asked if the Committee had any additional suggestions to be considered.  Weber stated that there are cisterns at the old jail and at the H&E building which are a safety concern and could be considered. 

 

Saxton stated that one item that each department had requested was AED’s.  He stated that the highway department would need two; the courthouse would need one or two; the nursing home would need one; the H&E building would need one; the PSC is already equipped, but there was a request to have them installed in all the squad cars.  Saxton also stated that the purchase of AED’s would include training.  Wahls questioned if it was appropriate to only purchase equipment with the grant; Saxton stated that he would contact IPRF to find out what the guidelines are.  Saxton then stated that the highway department could really use updated training materials.  Further discussion and a presentation to the board will be made by Saxton in June.
