COMMISSIONERS’ PROCEEDINGS
October 15, 2018
Commissioners Robert ‘Pits’ DeArmond, Scott Blain, and Bill Bullock, and Administrative Officer Angela Newell were present.
8:30 Pledge of Allegiance.
9:00 Commissioner Blain moved to adopt Resolution 2018-18 Establishing Travel Reimbursement Rates; Commissioner DeArmond seconded; motion carried.
Commissioners discussed the issues with the Sheriff’s Sally Port. Commissioner Bullock noted the unfinished portions that were the responsibility of the Contractor Sweeney Legacy have been completed and balance should be paid. The County is still waiting on Architect Susan Hovde regarding cutting the floor.
11:00 Commissioner DeArmond moved to approve employee time for September 30 – October 13 as submitted; Commissioner Blain seconded; motion carried.
11:30 Pam Walling from the MACo Health Care Trust met with Commissioners to give them an update. MACo issued a Request for Proposals for prescription drug coverage and will be changing to Express Scripts January 1, 2019. Co-pays for employees should not change much although there is the potential for some prescriptions to go up. Overall it is a better plan as it should reduce the fees charged to MACo; CVS’ constant rate increases were one of the reasons they looked for another contractor. Pam has a list of all medications that will have an interruption and will be scheduling meeting with employees so they know ahead of time. Online enrollment will begin in the spring of 2019.
12:10 Adjourned
Respectfully submitted: Angela Newell, Administrative Officer
