Request to accept or reject the original
contract award of RFP-600209-07/BJC, Employee Benefits to Professional
Insurance Company (PIC) for both Voluntary Cancer and Short Term Disability
Insurance, based upon a protest filed on 9/17/07 on behalf of KMG America
Corp., Inc. was presented. Letter from
Professional Benefit Plans with attachments regarding rating issues, Humana
announcing intent to acquire KMG America, references and bid information were
received and filed.
Mark Gebhardt, KMG America, addressed the
Board to explain why KMG America has filed a formal protest of the Risk
Management Committee’s decision. He
reviewed issues that were brought up relating to Kanawha Insurance credit
ratings, clarify the statement that KMG America was recently being purchased by
Humana, rating scale of Kanawha Insurance Co., Financial Strength Ratings, KMG
having “A-” ratings for 20 consecutive years, press report displaying a merger
or acquisition with Humana and KMG America, a press release displaying the
acquisition of Genworth by Sun Life, another press release announcing the
completion of the acquisition of Genworth, and a list of references.
Chairman Henley stated he doesn’t think the
issue before them is the acquisitions, but the Board has to decide whether or
not to uphold the protest and reject the original contract or deny the protest.
Mr. Gebhardt explained for Commissioner
McLean what a negative outlook means with regard to how his company will apply itself
and how it is going to pay claims in a timely manner.
Commissioner Carey stated she is glad that KMG
America had an opportunity to clear the air for their firm, but she feels the
Board made the right decision in going with PIC, therefore, she would recommend
upholding the Board’s decision.
Motion by Commissioner Carey,
seconded by Commissioner Dallari to accept the original contract award of
RFP-600209-07/BJC, Employee Benefits to Professional Insurance Company (PIC)
for both Voluntary Cancer and Short Term Disability Insurance.
Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
Ms. Coto requested direction from the Board
regarding participation in the National Association of Counties (NACo)
Prescription Drug Discount Card Program offered to member counties, to benefit
those county citizens who may be under or uninsured. She stated the program is primarily geared
towards under or uninsured and it is not an insurance program but provides discounts
on prescriptions that insurance does not cover.
The County must enter into a contract with Caremark who is administering
the program through the National Association of Counties (NACo). Part of the contract has been redacted and
the County could receive a copy of that entire contract once they sign up for
the program. She reviewed the pharmacies
that will be participating in the program.
She stated 23 counties are presently participating in the program and staff
has talked to two of them (Lee and
Commissioner Carey stated she feels this
program helps a lot of people that don’t have insurance as well as those who
have insurance. She added that the fact
that
Commissioner Dallari stated he has no
problem starting with this program as he feels it is one more tool in helping
those that are uninsured or underinsured.

a great program, but his only concern is there is a difference between

seconded by Commissioner McLean to move forward as soon as possible implementing
the NACo Prescription Drug Discount Card Program offered to member counties, to
benefit those County citizens who may be under or uninsured.

Lisa Spriggs, Fiscal Services Director,
addressed the Board to seek direction with regard to the Legislative priorities
for the 2008 State Legislative Program.
She stated the Legislative Delegation meeting is scheduled for October
24, 2007 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Additional information regarding the priorities was received and filed. She began reviewing issues relating to County
Home Rule authority, shifting of costs for government services and programs
from State to Counties, driver education programs, property tax reform, and alternative
public revenue sources.
Commissioner Carey stated the Legislature
has put in place and made available two taxes, surtax on deeds and the local
option food and beverage tax revisions, in the Miami/Dade County area. She stated they need to determine which one
they would like to press forward and which one they won’t. Other states have lobbied their Legislation
to pass a local option transfer fee and she feels that can be a small amount
and that would generate the same amount of cash. She requested staff to discuss this with the
Florida Association of Counties to see if there is an interest in that.
Ms. Spriggs
continued by reviewing changes in the language for local governments to be able
to participate in the State’s Deferred Compensation Program. She reviewed the Local Option Rental Car
Surcharge Tax, and Charter County Transit System Surtax.
Chairman Henley stated he feels it is
important to know that the State Deferred Compensation Program did pass through
all the committees and was reassigned to Mr. Negron’s committee, who killed it.
Commissioner Carey stated she would like
the Rental Car Sales Tax and the Transit System Sales Tax be placed at the top
of the list as she feels it is important to move those forward.
Chairman Henley stated he feels it is
important that they give their lobbyist direction.
Ms. Spriggs continued by reviewing the
following State Funding Requests:
Pedestrian Overpass (
The Board voiced no objections to
the priority list as presented.
Ms. Coto stated the contract for the local
lobbyist, Shutts & Bowen, expires at the end of this month. She stated staff has received four responses
for an RFP and staff is meeting this Thursday to evaluate them. Staff will try to bring that before the Board
by the next meeting, but if they are unable to do that, they will bring it at
the November 13 meeting.
Commissioner Carey stated she feels it is
important that they get the lobbyists, both State and Federal who can help the
Board collect some of the money and bring it back to
Chairman Henley stated he feels the effectiveness
of any lobby depends on how much money he has to distribute. He stated he feels the biggest weakness they
have is the effectiveness of the elected leaders.
Commissioner Carey stated she would like to
see the results as part of the information they get in the evaluation process. She requested copies of the entire RFP.
Ms. Coto stated staff has received approval
of the pool agreement from the City of Lake Mary, School Board and County. She stated she received an e-mail from
Superintendent Vogel indicating they would like to set up a Lake Mary High Swimming
Pool Oversight Committee. They would
like to include elected officials, parents and teachers in that committee. She stated she would recommend assigning a
Board member as well as a staff member to serve on that committee.
Chairman Henley recommended that
Commissioner McLean serve on that committee.
Ms. Coto recommended appointing Mr. Joe Abel,
Leisure Services Director, to serve as a staff appointee.
Motion by Commissioner Dallari,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to appoint Commissioner McLean and Mr. Joe Abel
to serve on the Lake Mary High Swimming Pool Oversight Committee.
Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
-------
Upon inquiry by Ms. Coto, the Board
indicated that they received a letter from the Home Builders Association relating
to the school impact fees.
-------
Ms. Coto stated at the last meeting, staff
was requested to contact Jeffery Dean regarding Conflict Counsel. This was established by the Florida
Legislature and it went away under Article V, and now it was passed back to the
counties. In the Fifth District Court of
Appeals, there are a total of 13 counties and they are looking at 67 full-time
employees within those counties. She
stated she will be contacting each of the counties so that they can deal with this
issue. She said she doesn’t believe it
will be an unfunded mandate this year based upon the dollars that the
Legislature has provided. But in
subsequent years, it will be an unfunded mandate. The estimates range from $1.1 to $2.2 million
dollars.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, Ms.
Coto advised she understands there will be multiple offices and multiple
locations around the region.
Ms. Coto stated she and Ms. Spriggs were
not aware of the group having access to the $2 fee until this morning and that
has to be taken into consideration. She
stated until they have more information they may have to implement something
this year and then revise it in subsequent years to address the new
counsel.
Commissioner Dallari requested a copy of
the business plan to see what they are trying to achieve.
Ms. Coto stated she has suggested to the
other counties that they do the same so that they are dealing with consistent
information.
-------
Ms. Coto stated there have been discussions
with regard to the reorganizational meeting, and as it relates to the Administrative
Code, that meeting must be scheduled for the second meeting in November. She asked if the Board desires to come in on
November 27, and if not, she suggested doing the organizational meeting on
November 13 or during the December 11, 2007 meeting. She stated she would need a motion waiving
the Administrative Code to cancel the November 27th meeting.
Motion by Commissioner McLean,
seconded by Commissioner Carey to waive the Administrative Code to cancel the
November 27, 2007 meeting and to include the BCC reorganizational meeting with
the November 13, 2007 meeting at the end of same.
Districts 1, 2, 4 and 5 voted AYE.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Chairman Henley stated the Board has had
communications with Mayor Dyer, City of
Commissioner Dallari stated he feels it is
imperative that they have a memorandum of understanding prior to distributing
funds.
Upon inquiry by Commissioner Carey, David
Medley, Community Services Director, addressed the Board to state
Chairman Henley stated he will inform Mayor
Dyer that the Board supports the regional commission but they want the
memorandum of understanding as to the structure.
Ms. Coto suggested that staff can draft a
memorandum of understanding and submit it to their partners indicating what
they would expect as it relates to the overall structure.
Chairman Henley stated he believes
Commissioner Dallari stated he feels the
structure is imperative but they need to include in the agreement what everyone
is committing to.
Mr. Medley stated the first deliverable
will be a report to each government entity regarding the work of the four
subcommittees.
Chairman Henley stated he will have staff
draw up a memorandum of understanding.
