REGULAR AGENDA

 

     Linda Eiland, Risk Management, addressed the Board to request authorization to renew the Employee Benefit Program with benefit carriers United Healthcare, American Dental, Highmark Life Insurance Company, Zurich Insurance Company, Professional Insurance Company and Employee Benefits Cooperative, effective January 01, 2002; rebid all benefit programs during FY 2001/2002; and authorize Chairman to execute any necessary documents.

     She advised the Risk Management Committee met on July 10 to review the renewals and all carriers except United Healthcare have shown no increase.  United Healthcare has requested a 14% increase and five options to reduce the amount.  She said the Risk Management Committee is recommending changes in the co-pay to the hospital, emergency room co-pay, outpatient, and prescription co-pays to bring the 14.4% to 11.9% (copy of recommendation was received and filed). 

Upon inquiry by Chairman Van Der Weide, Ms. Eiland affirmed that if the Board does not do anything and absorp the increase, the money is already budgeted.  She stated the current co-pays are $10, $15 and $25, and the Risk Management Committee is recommending a change to $8, $20, and $30. 

Chairman Van Der Weide said he is wondering if they ought to go ahead with what is in the budget and not make any changes.

During discussion, Commissioner McLain stated most people are buying the generic drugs, and this reduces the generic cost although the brand name drug is going up.  That is a benefit to many and a potential increase to some.  He said he sees these as minor changes that will help keep the losses down and maintain the 50% level for dependents. 

Ms. Eiland reported that research on the prescription drugs shows more are buying the brand name drugs than generic drugs.

Commissioner Maloy said he wanted to keep the brand name drugs at $15.

Commissioner Morris asked if the Board had to take action on this item today.  He said he had assumed also that the generic drugs were the most common.  He asked if staff could get more information on emergency room and in-patient care.

Commissioner Henley stated that information was not available to them when the Risk Committee met.  He said, in the future, they need to insist that they be provided with a detailed breakdown on uses so they can make intelligent decisions.  He thinks they need to be very careful from the standpoint of making arbitrary adjustments without knowing the full impact.  He said he would have no problem with delaying this and asking for more information.

Commissioner McLain stated one of the problems in utilization is use of emergency rooms.  He said many of the people could go to a 24-hour care center at a lower co-pay.  They want to encourage people not to go to the emergency room for minor injuries.  Whereupon, Commissioner Henley said maybe that information needs to be included with the employees paycheck.

Ms. Eiland stated she would have the information about co-pays attached to the paychecks.

Chairman Van Der Weide stated he has been a steady user of the group insurance and he has had great care with United Healthcare.  He thinks they have a great program, but there is some confusion.  Hopefully they can get things resolved and bring this back before the Board.

Mr. Grace suggested continuing this item until the next meeting.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner McLain, to continue to September 25, 2001, the request for authorization to renew the Employee Benefit Program with benefit carriers United Healthcare, American Dental, Highmark Life Insurance Company, Zurich Insurance Company, Professional Insurance Company and Employee Benefits Cooperative, effective January 1, 2002; rebid all benefit programs during FY 2001/2002; and authorize Chairman to execute any necessary documents.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

-------

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner McLain to approve and authorize Chairman to execute Letter of Request, as shown on page _______, for a lease transfer from the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) to Seminole County; property described as a 60-acre Celery Avenue Site, located on the north (20 acres) and south (40 acres) side of Celery Avenue between Brisson and Sipes Avenue.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Ray Hooper, Purchasing Manager, and Jamie Croteau, Administrative Services Director, addressed the Board for presentation of RFQ-4108-01/BJC, Continuing Contract for Owner’s Representative for various projects within Seminole County and Work Order No. 1 related to the Seminole County New Criminal Justice Center.  The action requested is:  (1) Select the best qualified firm for RFQ-4108-01/BJC, Continuing Contract for owner’s Representative for various projects within Seminole County; and (2) Approve Work Order #1 related to Owner’s Representative services for the Seminole County New Criminal Justice Center and authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement with the selected firm.

Commissioner Morris stated he thinks the Board should rank two firms as it does not hurt to have a backup plan.  Chairman Van Der Weide said he thinks that makes sense.

Ms. Croteau answered questions from Commissioner Maloy about two of the bids for over $1 million when the amount budgeted was for $800,000. 

     Mr. Hooper answered questions from Commissioner Henley that this was to be a fixed fee, lump sum amount.

     Mr. McMillan asked the Board to vote on their number one choice and reported a unanimous vote of the Board for Turner Construction Company.

Mr. McMillan asked the Board to vote on their number two choice and reported that Commissioners Henley, Van Der Weide, and Maloy voted for ZHA Incorporated, and Commissioners McLain and Morris voted for Dart Engineering.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve Turner Construction Company as the number one selected firm for RFQ-4108-01/BJC, Continuing Contract for Owner’s Representative for various projects within Seminole County.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.

Motion by Commissioner Morris, seconded by Commissioner McLain, to approve Work Order #1 related to Owner’s Representative services for the Seminole County New Criminal Justice Center and authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement, as shown on page _______, with Turner Construction Company.

-------

 

Ian Ratliff, Principal Planner, and Mahmoud Najda, Development Review Manager, addressed the Board to present request for approval of staff’s recommendation for the use of tree replacement funds in the amount of $390,000 received from the Florida Gas transmission line project. 

Commissioner McLain thanked the staff for the good work and said the County acquired $400,000 more than expected.  He said he likes the thought of using the balance of the money on parks and trails.

Motion by Commissioner McLain, seconded by Commissioner Henley, to approve the staff’s recommendation for the use of tree replacement funds in the amount of $390,000 received from the Florida Gas transmission line project, with the recommendation that Mr. Grace come back to the Board with a breakdown of how the money is to be spent on the trails, natural lands, and parks.

Commissioner Maloy stated he would like to see some assistance given to right-of-way improvements and he named some in mind.  Commissioner McLain agreed to include in the motion that the money be spent on right-of-way corridors also.

Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 voted AYE.
