AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board of Commissioners BOCC Wednesday Meeting of June 3, 2020
DATE: May 28, 2020
FROM: Kathleen Hinman, Human Resources, 541-385-3215
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of Board Signature of Resolution No. 2020-023, Budget Adjustment Health
Benefit Fund
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of budget adjustment in the amount of $2,000,000.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The Health Benefit Fund is in need of a budget adjustment of $2,000,000 to allow for
payment of increased claim costs and utilization in the Deschutes County Employee
Health Benefits Plan.
The reason for the increase is due a temporary rise in the frequency of large claims. On
average, from 2014-18 we experienced 1 claim in the $300,000 - $499,000 range and 0.6
claims >$500,000. In comparison, in 2019 there were 3 claims between $300,000 -
$499,000, and none over $500,000. And in the first quarter of the 2020 plan year, we
already have 1 claim over $300,000 with a projection of a total of 3 claims over $300k.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: There is room in the contingency line to cover these increased
claims cost.
ATTENDANCE: Kathleen Hinman, Director Human Resources
