Item #3
Consideration and approval of Resolution 05-04 Approving the
Executive Director to Execute a Contract for Services with the TML
Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool
The Board was provided a comparison between our current health, dental and
vision insurance provider to a quote from TML Intergovernmental Employee
Benefits Pool. We are currently paying substantially more for our health
insurance than the quote received from TML. The company that carried our
dental and vision canceled our policy because we only have two employees and
they changed their policy to require five or more employees.
TML provided quotes for three different health plans as well as dental and vision.
After discussion the Board decided to provide the employees with the first
medical plan with the lower deductible along with the dental and vision.
Commissioner Cathy Martin made a motion to accept Resolution No. 05-04 and
to provide employees with Health Plan #P8555 -30-10-C10/30 along with dental
and vision provided by TML Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool.
Commissioner Rushing seconded the motion.
