UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Resolution No. 2010-114 - Authorizing the Refund of the Series 2003 Full Faith & Credit Bond Issue. Dave Kanner said that interest rates are fluctuating wildly, but it is possible to get a lower rate. This would require immediate action. The Resolution would allow for the preparation of documents prior to committing to a change. The original bond was about $32 million. Marty Wynne said that the remaining balance is about $23 million. One of the issues is the call date is not until 2013. The funds will sit in escrow and earn a low interest rate for a few more years. It would be better to put this into an escrow account that yields a higher interest rate. The County also has to have a specific present value according to State law. Bond rates are fluctuating a lot. They can wait all the way up to the sale date if necessary. Bond Counsel and the County's financial advisory group agree. BANEY: Move signature. UNGER: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. UNGER: Yes. LUKE: Chair votes yes. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Page 2 of 6 Pages 5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2010- 544, a Contract Establishing and Administering an On-site Employee Health Clinic for Deschutes County. Dave Inbody gave a brief overview of the item. Commissioner Baney asked how the `reset' would work in regard to tracking expenses and other factors. Mr. Kanner explained that there is a lag between the time claims occur and are paid, so any decrease would not be noticeable right away. He would like to see some changes I s There needs to be a guarantee, but it is thought that the savings would far exceed the start-up costs. Ronda Connor said that health screenings will be emphasized, which might result in treating ailments that are not yet known. Mr. Kanner sad the onsite clinic will displace emergency care, routine office calls and procedures, etc. They will soon be able to tell which employees or families are utilizing the clinic and for what. Commissioner Baney asked if the progress will be examined in a year or less. Mr. Kanner stated that HealthStat will provide monthly updates and the information will also be evaluated with EBAC. It would not be appropriate to make a determination as to how successful it is after just a year. Commissioner Baney explained that she would want to know about any specific issues ahead of time so they can be appropriately addressed. Commissioner Luke said that controls are in place and tracking will be done. Ms. Connor said that HealthStat does satisfaction surveys, as will the County. Erik Kropp said that the preferred provider is being changed over from Providence Preferred PPO plan to First Choice in order to obtain some discounts and to address some problems with delivery. First Choice is very willing to open their panel to new medical providers while other companies are not. Mr. Inbody added that they are making some decisions on how the clinic will look and work, and the first six months will show what changes might be needed. BANEY: Move signature. LINGER: Second.
