TODAY WE ARE REQUESTING A 90 DAY BURN BAN. WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE OVER THE PASS SEVERAL YEARS, THE LAST TIME WE HAD AN ACTIVE BURN BAN WAS IN SEPTEMBER 2023. WE ONLY ENACTED A 90 DAYS.

>> IT WAS ASKED THAT I TABLE THIS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

[18. Discuss invoice for Midland County Fair Art Drop Off.]

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 14TH. >> THAT ITEM IS TABLE.

INVOICE FOR MIDLAND COUNTY FAIR AIRDROP OFF.

>> GOOD MORNING MEMBERS OF THE COURT, ON THE DIRECTOR OF THE MIDLAND COUNTY FAIR. I APPRECIATE BEING BEFORE YOU HERE TODAY. WHAT YOU HAVE HERE BEFORE YOU IS MAYBE CONSIDERED PART OF A BROADER ISSUE, AND IF YOU SEE TO IT THAT IT MIGHT BE BETTER ADDRESSED AT THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING, OR DEFER YOUR BETTER JUDGEMENT.

[00:25:01]

BUT TO GIVE YOU SOME HISTORY, I THINK THAT SOME OF YOU KNOW, NEWER COMMISSIONERS MAY NOT, WHEN THE MIDLAND COUNTY FAIR WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2010, I ACTED AS THE FIRST PRESIDENT, AND EVENTUALLY AND ACTING DIRECTOR FOR THE EVENT.

WE-- ENTERED IN TO AN MOU WITH THE COUNTY COURT AT THAT TIME, WHICH PROVIDED THE FACILITY AS AN IN-KIND CONTRIBUTION TO THE FAIR. AS WELL AS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE AGREEMENT. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT, I THINK YOU WILL KNOW, WE FINISHED THE FAIR LAST WEEK, AND IT SEEMS WE HAVE BROKEN RECORDS FOR BOTH ATTENDANCE, AND I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT EVEN BETTER NUMBERS FOR-- FINANCIALLY.

THAT IS THE REASON FOR TABLING THE DISCUSSION WITH REGARDS TO THE RECONSIDERATION FOR SUP-- FINANCIAL SUPPORT.

SO WE CAN GIVE YOU THE MOST ACCURATE FINANCIALS THIS YEAR, VERSUS JUST GIVING YOU LAST YEAR'S STATISTICS AND FINANCIALS. THIS INVOICE THAT WE HAVE INCURRED, TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY THERE, I STARTED IN 2010, I MOVED AWAY FOR A FEW YEARS, CAME BACK, AND WAS REABSORBED AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE FAIR AGAIN.

AND I CAME BACK HAVING BEEN GONE FOR A FEW YEARS.

AND NOT HAVING THE BENEFIT OF CONDUCTING A FAIR RECENTLY.

AND SO, I WAS ASKED TO SIT DOWN WITH, I BELIEVE IT WAS KEN OLSON AT THE TIME, WHO WAS THE MANAGER OF THE EVENT.

TO TRIM DOWN THE NUMBER OF DAYS THAT WE HAD AT THE FACILITY.

I INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT THE FACT THAT WE WERE USING THE WEEKEND PRIOR TO THE EVENT. WE ONLY NEED MONDAY TO MONDAY TO SET UP FOR THE FAIR. BUT I HAD MISSED THE FACT THAT WE HAD TRADITIONALLY HAD TEAM ROPING, AS WELL AS BARREL RACING ON THE WEEKEND BEFORE. IT WASN'T SCHEDULED FOR THAT YEAR. IT WASN'T ON MY RADAR, AND IT WAS LEFT OUT WHEN THE REPORT CAME BACK TO YOU FOR THE FACILITY MONDAY TO TUESDAY, VERSUS THE WEEKEND PRIOR.

I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PAYING CUSTOMER THERE.

WE DON'T EXPECT ANY ADJUSTMENTS, BUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO, IF I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AT THE TIME TO ASK YOU TO INCLUDE THE ARENA AS PART OF THE USE FOR THE WEEKEND PRIOR, IT WOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE ISSUE WE HAVE NOW, WHICH IS AN INVOICE FOR USING THE EDUCATION BUILDING TO ACCEPT OUR CREATIVE ARTS ENTRIES.

WE ARE FORCED TO ACCEPT THEM THE WEEKEND PRIOR.

THEY ARE VERY DELICATE ENTRIES. WE HANDLE THEM WITH CARE, AND IF WE DON'T HAVE-- WE ARE FORCED TO HANDLE THEM AGAIN FROM THE RECEIVING AREA, WHICH HAS BEEN THE EDUCATION BUILDING IN THE BILLION. IT'S AN ANOMALOUS EXPENSE, NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THE EDUCATION BUILDING IS MORE THAN YOU NEED, BUT IT'S ALL AVAILABLE. $1000 PER DAY IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. SO FRIDAY, SATURDAY, I DON'T KNOW IF WE GOT CHARGED, BUT THERE WAS TALK ABOUT US BEING CHARGED ON SUNDAY FOR LEAVING THE ENTRIES THEY ARE IN TILL WE ACTUALLY TOOK POSSESSION OF THE PAVILION ON MONDAY.

SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING YOU TO DO, I BELIEVE THE LAST EMAIL I LOOKED AT WAS AROUND $30,000 FOR THE INVOICE.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED SINCE THEN.

AND IT'S NOT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT SO MUCH MORE SO THAN-- PAY THE INVOICE IF THAT IS WHAT THE COURT DETERMINES IS NEEDED.

IN OUR VIEW, EVERY DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR FOR EDUCATION AND SCHOLARSHIPS. THAT'S WHY WE EXIST.

WE ARE A NONPROFIT. WE CREATE COMMUNITY EVENTS AND A PLACE AT THE TABLE FOR EVERYONE. IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE, QUALITY OF PLACE. LEADERSHIP, DEVELOPMENT.

WE WORK TOWARDS MAINTAINING AND EDUCATING A TRAINED WORKFORCE.

ALL THOSE THINGS CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECONOMY.

AND NOT TO MENTION WE WERE CERTIFIED $1.2 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT LAST YEAR. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK IS IF YOU CAN CONSIDER ALLOWING US THE USE, AND THIS MAYBE BETTER ADDRESSED AT THE NEXT MEETING, OF THE ARENA AS PART OF OUR ORIGINAL-- OR SHOULD I SAY THE CURRENT MOU, WHICH DOES NOT SPECIFY THE USE OF THE ARENA. SO I THINK IT IS RARELY BOOKED THE WEEKEND BEFORE. SO WE WOULD NOT BE TAKING ANY REVENUE THERE. BUT IT HAS CAUSED US-- THAT IS ON ME FOR OMITTING IT. IT HAS CAUSED US TO INCUR SOME ADDITIONAL EXPENSES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MEETING ROOM BECAME UNAVAILABLE AND WE HAD TO MOVE TO THE EDUCATION BUILDING.

IT'S MORE THAN WE NEED, ANDREEVA LIKE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER ALLOWING THAT UNDER OUR CURRENT MOU, ARE CONSIDERATE FOR DISCUSSION THAT THE NEXT COMMISSIONERS COURT EATING-- COMMISSIONERS COURT MEETING LOOKING AT OUR EXISTING MOU.

>> SO YOU WANT TO TABLE IT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME? OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

[00:30:04]

>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE WAIVE THE $3800 FEE-- LET ME GET

BACK TO THE TOP. >> THIS IS JUST A TICK--

NEVER MIND. >> THANK YOU, RUSSELL.

CITY. -- THERE WAS COST TO BUILD IT.

>> THIRTY-NINE. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF BUILD-- MIDLAND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION APPORTIONS UPS-- SINCLAIR AVENUE AND COUNTY ROAD 1250 AND RELATED INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS.

>> SINCLAIR CURRENTLY STOPS JUST WEST STATE HIGHWAY OF 158.

THEY WANT TO EXTEND IT, THE CITY WANTS TO EXTENDED WEST TO THE COUNTY ROAD 250 ALIGNMENT-- 1250 ALIGNMENT, WHICH IS A COUPLE MILES, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHICH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENSION, THAT WOULD BE IN THE CITY, AND AT THE END, WHERE TIES BACK IN TO 191, THAT WOULD BE IN THE CITY, WITH THE VAST MAJORITY IN THE COUNTY. THEY WANT TO PROCEED WITH DESIGNING AND BUILDING THAT QUICKLY.

AND THEY HAVE ASKED US TO SUPPORT THEM WITH OUR SHARE OF THE COST, WHICH IS MORE THAN IT COSTS US TO BUILD OUR COUNTY

ROADS. >> THERE WAS A CHANGE TO THE MOU, AND I'M NOT SEEING IT ON HERE.

AND WE TABLE THAT TO THE NEXT MEETING?

>> IT WAS TAKEN OFF OF INTERSECTIONS.

IT WAS INTERSECTION INSTEAD OF INTERSECTIONS.

AND THE DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO SIGN IS THE REVISED ONE.

>> THERE WAS ONE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE CITY AND ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS ON HERE?

>> AND WE TABLE IT FOR TWO WEEKS?

>> RUSSELL, DID YOU KNOW ABOUT ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THE MOU?

>> THE ASK IS THE ONLY THING I KNOW OF.

INTERSECTIONS CHANGED TO INTERSECTION WAS FROM THE CITY OFFICE. I WAS NOT AWARE.

>> THE OTHER THING IS THAT THEY ARE CHANGING THE NAME OF THIS ROAD. SO IT'S LIKE I WANT TO SEE THE CHANGE OF THE NAME ON THE ACTUAL DOCUMENTS.

>> AND OUT OF CURIOSITY, WHY DOES THAT AFFECT OUR

CONTRIBUTION. >> THAT WAS ONE THING WE HAD TALKED ABOUT. SO I WANT TO SEE THAT.

>> YOU WANT TO SEE THAT. CAN WE DO THAT ON THE 14TH?

>> THIS IS NOT A 2026 BUDGET ITEM, OR 2027 FOR THAT MATTER.

>> I THINK IT'S 2027. >> WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE AGREEMENT YOU APPROVE IS ACCURATE.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY OPPOSITION? THE MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU. CHRISTI, I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT YOU, AND I'M GOING TO CALL ITEM 47, BECAUSE OUR PRESENTER NEEDS TO GET TO ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. SO I'M GOING TO CALL ITEM 47.

DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION ON PRESENTATION FROM HOLMES AND MURPHY INSURANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE MEDICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, MEDICAL AND PHARMACY BENEFIT CHANGES,

AND MEDICAL RX PROJECTED BUDGET. >> GOOD MORNING.

I APPRECIATE THIS. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND WE HAVE AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY WE HAVE TO GO TO.

BUT WE ARE GOOD. WE ARE GOOD.

THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP TO THE PRESENTATION THAT I GAVE TWO WEEKS AGO ON OUR THOUGHTS ON BUDGET FORECAST MOVING FORWARD.

THAT WAS MORE FOR DISCUSSION AND QUESTIONS.

[00:55:02]

THAT WAS FOR THE AGENDA ITEM TO APPROVE THE BUDGET.

I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS MAY HAVE.

AS A REMINDER, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE LOOK AT AMENDING THE PHARMACY PROGRAM AROUND THE GLP-1'S, THAT WILL PROVIDE $1.2 MILLION IN SAVINGS TO THE COUNTY, WHICH TAKES OUR PROJECTED BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR TO BE 14.2.

-- 14.2 MILLION. THAT INCLUDES A SMALL PREMIUM INCREASE AND A RETIRING PREMIUM INCREASE.

THAT WAS THE PROPOSED PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR.

BUT I WANTED TO BE HERE IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS TO LOOK AT

THAT BUDGET. >> TELL US MORE ABOUT THE GLP-1.

>> RIGHT NOW ANYONE WHO GETS A PRESCRIPTION FOR GLP-1 FOR WEIGHT LOSS, WHATEVER CONDITION WHATSOEVER, IT GETS PAID FOR.

THE MEMBER HAS THE $40 CO-PAY, AND THE ACCOUNT PAYS 800 TO $1000. FOR ANYONE THAT'S ON THE GLP-1 FOR DIABETES OR CHRONIC LIVER CONDITIONS, FOR ANY OF THOSE CONDITIONS, NOTHING IS CHANGING. IT IS FOR EMPLOYEES WHO WANT GLP-1 STRICTLY FOR WEIGHT LOSS. WHAT A LOT OF EMPLOYERS ARE DOING IS SAYING WE ARE NOT COVERING IT AT ALL.

IF YOU WANTED YOU CAN BUY YOURSELF.

AND IF YOU CAN DO THAT THE DIRECT TO CONSUMER PRICES FROM 150 TO $300 PACK WERE-- AS A COUNTY IS PAYING $1200.

INSTEAD OF PUTTING ALL THAT ON A MEMBER, THIS PROGRAM WOULD SAY WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE DIRECT TO CONSUMER PRICING, AS LONG AS YOU GO THROUGH AND HAVE A MEETING WITH ONE OF OUR CLINICIANS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. SO IF YOU WANT A GLP-1 STRICTLY FOR WEIGHT LOSS, WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO TALK TO A POSITION AND LOOK AT WHAT IS YOUR PLAN, WHAT ARE YOUR PROTOCOLS, MAYBE YOU NEED THIS DOCENT IN THREE WEEKS WE WILL COME BACK TO THE TABLE AND SEE HOW THAT'S WORKING FOR YOU.

SO IT'S MORE OF A CONTROLLED CLINICAL PROTOCOL THEN WHILE BUST OPEN. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

>> WHAT IS THE COST-SAVING ESTIMATE ON THIS?

>> BASED ON OUR CURRENT UTILIZATION, WE ARE LOOKING AT 1.5 TO $1.6 MILLION OF TOTAL SPEND DROPPING.

THE MANAGEMENT FEE FOR THE PROGRAM IS ABOUT 240 TO 260.

IT DEPENDS ON MANY PEOPLE IN ROLE IN THE PROGRAM OR NOT.

THAT'S RIGHT GET THE NET SAVINGS OF 1.2 TO 1.3.

I AM BEING CONSERVATIVE ON THAT. SOME OF OUR MODELS, WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE PROFILING OF THE COUNTY THEY SAY IT COULD BE CLOSER TO TWO. I DON'T WANT TO BUDGET THESE SAVINGS TO $12 MILLION. ETHIC THAT MIGHT BE AGGRESSIVE.

THAT'S WHY I'M DROPPING IT DOWN. IT'S A 1.2 MILLION-DOLLAR NET SAVINGS TO THE COUNTY IF WE IMPLEMENT THAT PROGRAM.

AND THAT IS EMBEDDED IN MY 14.2 NUMBER THAT SARAH HAS FOR 2027.

>> YOU MENTIONED A PROGRAM LAST TIME THROUGH THE CLINIC.

>> ON SARAH? THAT'S THE PROGRAM I'M TALKING ABOUT. THAT IS THE NAME OF THE-- IT IS THE FIRST-- YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF THE MARQUEE COST-PLUS DRUG PROGRAM. AMAZON IS GETTING IN TO THE GAME. ALL THESE VENDORS ARE GETTING IN TO THE GAME. BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH BLUE CROSS, BLUE SHIELD, AND PRIMARY THERAPEUTICS BLUE CROSS PHARMACY TEAM. THE WAY THE DRUGS ARE PROCURED AND WHATNOT, IT'S VERY INEFFICIENT IN A GROUP HEALTH PLAN. A LOT OF THESE VENDORS ARE SAYING IF YOU WANT THAT GLP-1, YOU CAN GET IT DIRECT FROM THE PRODUCER AND PAY THEIR COST AND NOT PAY THESE MARKUPS.

SO IT'S REALLY THE FIRST PROGRAM THAT COMES OUT THERE AND SAYS INSTEAD OF KICKING YOUR EMPLOYEE TO THE CURB AND YOU SAY FIGURE IT OUT, WE WILL HELP YOU GET ACCESS TO THOSE CONTRACTS, AND HAVE SOMEONE TO HOLD YOUR HAND THROUGH THE PROCESS.

SO IF WE JUST STOPPED COVERING IT, WE WOULD SAVE ALMOST $3 MILLION. BUT THEN WE HAVE A LOT OF EMPLOYERS TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO.

I THINK THIS IS A BETTER STEP IN TO TAKING CARE OF OUR PEOPLE.

WE DON'T WANT TO START WITH ALL THE COUNTY BENEFITS, BECAUSE-- I SHOWED YOU SOME BENCHMARK STUFF. OUR PLANS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE.

EVEN COMPARED TO OTHER AREAS IN TOWN.

THE BENEFITS ARE VERY RICH. THIS FITS MORE IN LINE WITH THE COUNTY'S CULTURE OF TAKING CARE OF EMPLOYEES.

IT'S JUST BEING A BETTER STEWARD OF THOSE DOLLARS, ON HOW WE ARE SPENDING AND BUYING SOME OF THE DRUGS.

>> I THINK THE FINAL QUESTION WE HAD WAS IF WE HAVE TO DO AN RFP,

WE ARE ALLOWED TO ELECTED NOW? >> WE NEED MORE INFORMATION ON A DETERMINATION OF A PROFESSIONAL SERVICE.

WE NEED TO SEE THE CONTRACT. I CAN'T TELL THE COURT THAT IT'S

[01:00:01]

OKAY TO APPROVE THIS WITHOUT MAKING THE CONTRACT FIRST.

WE STILL NEED MORE INFORMATION BEFORE WE CAN GIVE IT TO.

>> I THINK THE REASON THE AGENDA ITEM IS WRITTEN IS PRESUMING WE DO SOMETHING TO THE GLP-1 PROGRAM.

SO WHEN RUSSELL AND THE TEAM LOOKED AT IT AND WE SAY WE FEEL LIKE THIS HAS TO BE AN RFP, WE HAVE TIME, BECAUSE THE PLAN IS TO PUT THIS INTO THE 26-- 2027 PLAN YEAR.

AS FAR AS CART AND HORSE, WE CAN SET BUDGET.

BECAUSE WITHIN SIX WEEKS, LET'S SAY THERE IS A NEW VENDOR OUT THERE THAT DOES THE SAME THING. AND WE DO AND PICK A DIFFERENT VENDOR, THE SAVINGS WILL STILL BE THE SAME BECAUSE WERE GETTING OUT OF THE STANDARD WILD WEST WAY OF GETTING GLP-1'S INTO A MORE MANAGED WAY. DEBT CEILING QUESTION FROM BEHIND THE SCENES. BUT OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE BUDGET, INCLUDES THE GLP-1 PROGRAM.

THAT IS THE PLAN. WHAT THAT PLAN WILL BE-- HOW THAT PLAN WILL BE IRONED OUT, MY GUT REACTION IS THAT THIS WILL BE THE BEST PROVIDER FOR THAT PROGRAM.

BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES DOING IT THAT WAY RIGHT NOW.

BUT IF THE DETERMINATION IS THAT WE DO A RFP, WE WILL DO A RFP, BUT THE INTENT WILL BE ON JANUARY 1ST, WHICH FITS WITH THE BUDGET NUMBERS WE ARE PROPOSING.

IS THAT CLEAR AS MUD? THANK YOU.

>> THE ESTIMATED COMMUNITY COST FOR THE PROGRAM?

>> PROGRAM COSTS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE EMPLOYEES ENROLLED IN IT.

BEST GUESS RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 240 TO 260,000 OF PROGRAM FEES.

THEN OUT OF THE 1.5 TO $1.6 MILLION OF DRUG SAVINGS, THAT'S HOW WE GET THE 1.2 NET TO THE COUNTY.

>> ALL RIGHT. IT'S DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION, SO WE JUST NEED TO APPROVE THE PROJECTED BUDGET OF

14.2 MILLION? >> I THINK THE BUDGET IS FINE.

IT WILL ABSORB EITHER ONE. IT'S ALWAYS AN ESTIMATE.

BUT I THINK THE BUDGET WILL ABSORB EITHER ONE.

>> AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE FOR THAT, IS THAT YOUR STOP-LOSS CONTRACT, WE DON'T HAVE YOUR FULL 2027 STOP-LOSS CONTRACT YET BECAUSE BLUE CROSS WILL NOT GIVE US A FIRM QUOTE UNTIL WE GET TO CLAIMS THROUGH SEPTEMBER. WE PUT ASSUMPTIONS AS TO WHAT THAT PREVIOUS INCREASES GOING TO BE.

WE ARE SETTING BUDGETS NOW FOR PLANS THAT DON'T EVEN TAKE PLACE UNTIL JANUARY. SO THERE ARE ALWAYS ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE BAKE IN THAT WE TWEAK AT THE VERY END.

BUT AS FAR AS THE PROCESS GOES CUT THE STOP-LOSS PREMIUMS, THE GLP-1 PROGRAM CHANGES, AND THE CONTRIBUTION UPDATES, THOSE GO IN TO THIS 14.238 NUMBER THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED.

SO THE TAKE ACTION IS ON THE EMPLOYEE PREMIUMS AND THE BUDGET. AND WHETHER THIS IS A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT, THAT'S TO BE DECIDED.

BUT IT'S BAKED INTO THE PROGRAM. >> THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO FIND OUT. SO DO WE NEED A MOTION, COURSES

PART OF THE BUDGET? >> YOU NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE

THIS FOR THE BUDGET. >> OUR WEEKEND LEAVE IT AS IS AND AMENDED NEXT WEEK ONCE WE HAVE CLARITY.

>> WHEN SEEKING THAT TYPE OF A PLAN YOU NEED A MOTION SO THAT YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD ON THAT. NOT NECESSARILY THE CURRENT PLAN, BUT IF YOU WANT TO FIND A PLAN AND KNOW YOU HAVE TO IRON IT OUT, WEATHER NEEDS TO BE BID OUT OR NOT.

>> WE CAN JUST SAY WE WANT THIS, AT WHAT SAY HAVE A PLAY PRESENTED WE CAN APPROVE. ONCE YOU HAVE A PLAN AND RUSSELL HAS AGREED TO IT, I WOULD PERSONALLY SAY, YES, WE NEED TO SAME-- SAVE MONEY TO PROVIDE GOOD SERVICES FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

>> THE OTHER THING WE NEED TO APPROVE IS THE EMPLOYEE PREMIUMS AS WELL. ON THE BACK END WE HAVE TO DO A

LOT OF WORK ON THAT SIDE. >> I'M JUST GOING TO READ THE DOCKET. WE HAVE TAKE ACTION ON THE IN PLAY RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS, THE BENEFIT CHANGES, WHICH THE ONLY CHANGES ARE WE GOING TO DO THE GLP-1 PROGRAM? AND THE PROJECTED BUDGET. ALL OF THOSE ARE A REVOLVING CIRCLE BECAUSE THE PREMIUMS AND CHANGE TO GLP-1 HIT THE BUDGET.

THAT'S THE AGENDA ITEM. >> THE RETIREMENT MEDICAL

CONTRIBUTIONS IS INCREASING $10? >> IT DEPENDS ON THE TEAR.

[01:05:02]

DO YOU HAVE THAT PRESENTATION? >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO INCREASE RETIREMENT-- RETIRING MEDICAL CONTRIBUTIONS AS

PRESENTED ON THE BACKUP. >> SINCE IT IS INCREASING THE RETIREES CONTRIBUTION, IF YOU COULD MENTION WHAT IT IS?

>> I MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE INCREASE IN EMPLOYEE AND RETIREE MEDICAL CONTRIBUTION. EMPLOYEE ONLY WILL BECOME $20.

EMPLOYEE IN CHILDREN, 150. EMPLOYEE AND FAMILY, 294.

RETIREES EMPLOYEE ONLY 746. EMPLOYEE AND SPOUSE, 316.

EMPLOYEE IN CHILDREN, 256. EMPLOYEE AND FAMILY, 216.

>> SECOND. >> ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE". ANY OPPOSITION? THE MOTION CARRIES. ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE HAVE TO

APPROVE TO MOVE FORWARD? >> I GUESS YOU APPROVE THE PREMIUMS? 14.2? TECHNICALLY YOUR MOTION IS FOR THE PREMIUM INCREASES THEREFORE THE BUDGET NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED AS WELL.

>> DOES THE BUDGET AMOUNT FOR THIS, OR DO WE NEED A SEPARATE

MOTION? >> YOU CAN DO IT THROUGH THE BUDGET ITEMS. 13.5 BUDGETED.

>> AND YOU NEED 14? >> IF WE DON'T DO THE ONE PROGRAM WE NEED 15-4. I THINK THAT THE ON SARAH PROGRAM IS A NUMBER ON LEVER THAT THE EMPLOYEE CAN PULL.

THAT EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYER IS LOOKING AT.

HOW DO WE IN LOOK AT THE COST THAT IS EXPLODING?

>> WE WOULD NEED A BUDGET OF AN ADDITIONAL 700,000 IN HEALTH CARE, TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND?

>> I'M TRYING TO CUT THE BUDGET HERE.

>> I WILL GIVE CONTEXT. HEALTH CARE IS GOING UP.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HEALTH CARE IS CRAZY.

STANDARD, IF NOTHING CHANGED, THE PRICES OF HEALTH CARE GO UP ABOUT 11% PER YEAR. SO IF WE NEVER DO ANYTHING, YOU SHOULD EXPECT YOUR HEALTH CARE COST TO GO UP 11% PER YEAR, IN TO PERPETUITY UNTIL SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS.

THE CHALLENGE THAT EVERY EMPLOYER HAS IS HOW MUCH OF THAT INCREASES BORNE BY THE EMPLOYER AND HOW MUCH GET SHARED WITH THE EMPLOYEES? THAT SEE NAME OF THE GAME.

YOU HAVE THE FINANCE SIDE THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO SQUASH COST.

THE EASIEST WAY TO SQUASH COST IS TO MAKE YOUR EMPLOYEES PAY MORE. SO WE HAD TO COME UP WITH-- YOU WANT TO RAISE EMPLOYEE ONLY FROM $15 TO 50 BUCKS.

AND FAMILIES PAY 500 THROUGHOUT THE MONTH FOR INSURANCE? THAT'S AN EASY WAY TO REDUCE THE BUDGET.

YOU ARE SQUEEZING THAT BALLOON, AND ALL THAT COST GOES TO EMPLOYEES. SO TRYING TO DO A EMPLOYEE COST INCREASE DO A MAJOR PLAN CHANGE TO REDUCE COST BY 1.2 MILLION, IN THE COUNTY ABSORBS THAT, THAT'S HOW THE PROPOSAL GOT TO BE AT 14.2. AND I WILL SAY THERE IS NOT AN EMPLOYER IN TOWN RIGHT NOW THAT THERE HEALTH CARE SPEND AND DECISIONS THEY ARE MAKING GOING BACKWARDS.

NOBODY IS MAKING DRASTIC ENOUGH CHANGES TO REDUCE THEIR YEAR-OVER-YEAR MEDICAL EXPENSES UNLESS YOU ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN STAY AFLOAT IS TO GO NEGATIVE. SO YOU CAN STICK IT TO 800 PEOPLE PLUS 300 TOP-- RETIREES, OR WE FIND A BALANCE.

OR THIS IS KIND OF THE HR TEAM AND FINANCE TEAMS BALANCED APPROACH WITH WHAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST PALATABLE ACROSS ALL

PARTIES. >> IT MAYBE HELPFUL IF YOU TELL THE COURT WHAT LANGUAGE YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS?

>> I THINK YOU READ IT OFF OF THE AGENDA.

>> THE MOTION WOULD BE TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED HEALTH AND WELFARE-- WELFARE BUDGET OF 14.2 MILLION AS PRESENTED.

[01:10:04]

>> WE WILL LET THE CORNEAU IN IN 2025 THE COUNTY SPENT 13,189,000. AND FOR 2026 IT'S 15,000,178.

SO WE ARE HOPING TO GET COST REDUCTIONS, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM

LIKE THAT OCCURRED. >> THE FIRST YEAR WE SAW A MAJOR REDUCTION, AND IF YOU REMEMBER MY PRESENTATION ON THE GLP-1'S LAST MEETING, WE ARE ON TAP FOR $2.8 MILLION AND GLP-1 SPENDS ALONE. THIS YEAR IT WASN'T IN THE PLAN TWO YEARS AGO. THAT INCREASES TO A SINGLE DRUG CLASS. THAT'S WHY EVERYONE AND THEIR DOG IS TALKING ABOUT IT. IS BLOWING EVERYONE'S BUDGETS

OUT OF THE WATER. >> SO YOU'RE SAYING WE WOULD CUT GLP-1'S FOR WEIGHT LOSS SPECIFICALLY THEN WE WILL BE

CLOSER TO THE 13 THAN THE 15? >> WE CAN CUT IT ALTOGETHER.

IT MIGHT BE 135, 13-4. BUT-- 13.4.

BUT THAT'S A LOT OF NOISE. THAT'S NOT EVEN RIPPING THE BAND-AID. YOUR TAKING THE CAST AND YANKING IT OFF. I'M IN AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON

METAPHOR WORLD RIGHT NOW. >> SO, DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR

ITEM 47. >> DO WE JUST MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEDICAL RX PROJECTED BUDGET? I WILL MAKE THAT MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEDICAL RX PROJECTED

BUDGET. >> DO YOU NEED THE 14.2 WE.

>> WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTRACT AND WE DON'T HAVE AN AMOUNT PER SE. YOU ARE INCREASING THE BUDGET.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU-- WHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT TO.

WE. YOU ARE JUST SAYING TO LOOK FOR

A MEDICAL PLAN FOR THE GLP-1? >> I'M JUST SAYING WHATEVER IS IN THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW. I BELIEVE.

>> THEY WANT A MOTION TO INCREASE THAT LINE ITEM TO FIVE.

>> I NEED AN ADDITIONAL 700,000, AND I GUESS WE CAN MOVE IT IN TO CLAIMS, AND WE WILL IT TO WHERE IT'S NEEDED.

AN ADDITIONAL 700,000 IN INCREASED CLAIMS FOR THE 2027 BUDGET. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WISH,

COMMISSIONER. >> THAT'S WHAT MY MOTION NEEDS TO BE. ADDITIONAL 700,000 IN CLAIMS? OKAY. I MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE MEDICAL RX PROJECTED BUDGET WITH AN ADDITIONAL 700,000 CLAIMS.

>> 2027? >> THE 2027 BUDGET.

>> ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE".

ANY OPPOSITION? MOTION CARRIES.

ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE? >> IVO "AYE".

>> THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR FROM THE WILL BE AFTER WE GET PROCUREMENT AND LEGAL ON THE PROGRAM OR A SEPARATE GLP-1 PROGRAM. BUT THERE WILL BE A GLP-1 SAVINGS PROGRAM IN THE PLAN FOR 2027.

WE REQUESTED IT AND IT MIGHT BE IN MY INBOX RIGHT NOW.

WE WILL FORWARD IT TO YOU. >> THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH.

BUT AFTER SEARCHING WE HAVE FOUND A VENDOR THAT CAN DO THIS FOR US. PREMIER SURVEILLANCE.

AND JAY WENT AROUND TO ALL THE BUILDINGS WITH THIS GUY.

AND A REPRESENTATIVE. AND POINTED OUT WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BURGLAR ALARMS. WE DO HAVE AN AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES CONTRACT. AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY HAS APPROVED THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT ARE BRINGING TO COURT TODAY. ANOTHER THING IS ON THE INVOICE, THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT PASSED DOWN, AND I'M TOLD THEY NORMALLY DON'T PAY AFTER EVERYTHING IS DONE.

BUT I AGREED TO ASK FOR 50% DOWN FOR THE EQUIPMENT ON THE INSTALLATION. THE MONITORING WILL NOT START UNTIL OCTOBER 1ST. SO YOU WILL NOT SEE AN INVOICE ON THAT. BUT THE MONITORING I BELIEVE IS GOING TO BE $54.99 PER BUILDING. WE HAVE 11 BUILDINGS, AND THAT IS PER MONTH. AND I WOULD LIKE FACILITIES TO COVER THAT. I BELIEVE THAT I.T. IS READY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ALARMS. RIGHT NOW I.T. HAS BEEN COVERING THE MAINTENANCE AND CHANGING OF BATTERIES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.

THIS CONTRACT, SURVEILLANCE WOULD INSTALL ALL THE EQUIPMENT AND MAINTAIN IT. THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE US A FIVE YEAR WARRANTY. FOR PARTS AND LABOR.

>> HOW MUCH IS THE 50% DOWN. >> THE TOTAL--

>> 2169. >> THE HALF DOWN WE WOULD PAY TODAY. ALL THE AGREEMENT AND INSTALLATION TOTAL SHOULD BE 34,708.

THE 50% DOWN WOULD BE $17,354. >> $3354?

THE MOTION CARRIES. >> THANK YOU.

>> ITEM NUMBER 46. DISCUSS AND TAKE ACTION CHANGING THE OPERATING HOURS AT THE MIDLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEE CLINIC.

>> GOOD MORNING, COURT MEMBERS. I WAS WANTING TO GET APPROVAL.

I HAD SENT YOU ALL AN EMAIL THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE A VA THERE AT THE CLINIC THAT CAN START WITH US IMMEDIATELY.

SHE IS JUST ASKING FOR SOME HOURS TO BE ACCOMMODATED.

WE WANTED TO CHANGE THEM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

7:30 A.M.-- LET ME TAKE THAT BACK.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, 8:00 A.M. TO 3:00 P.M.

AND SHE WILL DO VIRTUAL HOURS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FROM 5:00 P.M. TO 7:00 P.M.-- 5:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M.

THIS KEEPS THE OPERATING HOURS THE SAME, IT JUST ADD SOME VIRTUAL HOURS TO GIVE THAT A-- FLEXIBILITY FOR EMPLOYEES THAT CANNOT GET TO THE CLINIC DURING THE DAY, BUT HAVE TO ENGAGE IN VIRTUAL CARE. I'VE HEARD SOME FEEDBACK FROM EMPLOYEES AT THE NEW PROVIDER, THEY SEEM TO LIKE HER AND ENJOY HER SERVICES. SO SHE HAS BEEN DOING WELL WITH THEM. AND WE DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING WRITTEN IN THE CONTRACT ON HOURS.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE COURT WAS AWARE AND GAVE THAT APPROVAL FOR THOSE HOURS TO CHANGE.

AND IF IT DOES NOT AT APPROVED, WE WILL JUST CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR SOMEONE PERMANENTLY TO VET OUR HOURS.

>> RUSSELL, TO BE HAVE TO APPROVE THE HOUR CHANGES FOR THE

CLINIC? >> DO YOU ALL HAVE TO PROVE THE

HOURS WE I THINK SO. >> OKAY.

AND ASSOCIATE IS DOING THE SAME AMOUNT OF HOURS, BUT INSTEAD OF ALL IN PERSON, IT IS ADDING VIRTUAL HOURS?

>> YES. 5:00 P.M.-- 5:00 A.M. TO 7:00 P.M. IN THE EVENING TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

QUESTIONS? >> IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO? CHANGE THE HOURS? THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE RECOMMENDING?

>> I THINK SO. IF WE HAVE FEEDBACK THAT THAT IS NOT WORKING OUT, OR WE START HEARING SOME-- FROM RUSSELL THAT IT'S NOT GOOD, THEN WE CAN GO BACK TO LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.

WE HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SO WHAT'S IT'S JUNE.

WE DID HAVE SOMEBODY THAT WAS GOING TO COME ON BOARD IN THE DAY OF THE ORIENTATION, THEY RESCINDED THEIR DECISION.

SO'S BEEN TOUGH TO FIND PROVIDER TO FIT THOSE HOURS IN THIS AREA.

>> HAVE YOU-- I WE TALKED ABOUT GOING IN WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CLINIC WE CAN WE DO THAT.

>> THAT WOULD PROBABLY REQUIRE AN RFP.

>> WE NEVER DISCUSSED THAT. >> OKAY.

>> I WOULD SAY CURRENTLY THAT THEY HAVE PICKED UP THEIR FEE, THEY HAVE NEW MANAGEMENT AND THEY BEEN WORKING WITH US MONTHLY. WE LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES COMING THROUGH THE CLINIC, THE AMOUNT OF CARE AND WEIGHT THAT THEY-- THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TIMES THEY HAVE.

SO WE STILL MANAGED TO SEE MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT THEY NORMALLY SEE WHEN WE DO HAVE A PROVIDER. SO THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP

[01:25:02]

UP WITH OUT HAVING. AND THEY ALSO MANAGED TO-- THEY ALSO MANAGE THE OXYCONTIN A CURE, SO THEY HAVE ANOTHER PROVIDER. WE HAVE ALSO PUT COORDINATION WITH OTHER HOME SO WE CAN WORK ON THE COST REDUCTIONS FOR THE PHARMACY AND CARE. DOING MORE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. PERMITTED CARE FOR EMPLOYEES.

SO WE ARE CATCHING THOSE THINGS EARLIER THAN LATER.

SO THEY ARE NOT COSTING LOTS OF DOLLARS, THERE CAUSING LESS--

COSTING LESS DOLLARS. >> SO THIS PROVIDER KNOWS THAT SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO RECOMMEND GLP-1?

>> WE DID HAVE A LOT OF OUR GLP-1'S COME FROM THE CLINIC.

CANNOT CONTRIBUTE IT TO THIS COST.

AND EVERYONE IS VERY AWARE OF THOSE ISSUES AS WELL.

>> DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> I WOULD PREFER IN PERSON, BUT IF WE CAN UPPER-- FIND A PROVIDER, WE HAVE TO ASK-- HAVE SOMEONE THERE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES UNTIL WE CAN.

>> I WILL MAKE A MOTION UNTIL WE CAN CHANGE THE OPERATING HOURS-- OF CHANGING THE HOURS OF THE MIDLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEE OPERATING CLINIC FROM TUESDAY TO FRIDAY, A TO THREE, WITH ADDITIONAL VIRTUAL HOURS TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,

FROM FIVE TO 7:00 P.M. >> SECOND.

>> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY "AYE". ANY OPPOSITION, THE MOTION

CARRIES. >> SO I CAN GET CLARIFICATION, WE CAN KEEP THIS AS PERMANENT OPERATING HOURS WE.

>> UNLESS WE FIND SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO COME IN PERSON.

AND THEY CAN COME BACK. >> THANK YOU.
