This is just kind of a regurgitation of the last time we met. You can see the premium 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.160 history there. We have gone down significantly in the last several years, which is good news 00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:04.280 that is the work we've done in terms of reducing work costs, claims, the work that ICRT does, 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:10.040 Loss Control Rep. Mark Bell does a great job with all of the department heads to remind them of safety. 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:17.480 So we're really proud of that. Nothing really of note there. Down below are the insured values. 00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:23.000 You can see those have kind of creeped up for inflation over the years. With this property 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:31.240 appraisal, I suspect those numbers will increase more than inflation. Any questions? 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:42.079 You can skip this PNC work off claims ICRMT went through an update on their reporting 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:47.759 and claims tracking system, we were unable to pull updated claims so you can ignore that. 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:52.800 I do know of property claim out of the health department that's pretty small, five, six, 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:59.600 $7,000 and there might be a small work off from out there since the last time we talked 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.680 but nothing other than that, 00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.320 or nothing significant to report in that regard. 00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.980 Next page, PETA, the Public Employee Disability Act. 00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:13.680 I wanted to make you guys aware that there is a law 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.960 or an act or a statute in the state of Illinois 00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:20.960 that requires employers of police officers, 00:06:23.660 --> 00:06:26.260 law enforcement officers, firefighters 00:06:26.260 --> 00:06:28.800 that get hurt in the job for work comp. 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.800 Typically work coverage is when a claim comes through, 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.800 they pay for all medical and then lost time is paid 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.800 at 66% of their salary. 00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.379 That is how it generally works. 00:06:44.379 --> 00:06:47.680 With the exception of firefighters and law enforcement, 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.500 there's an Illinois state statute that says 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:52.199 you have to pay them 100% while they're off getting better. 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.939 So just a heads up there, 00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:58.939 We had one claim that that happened with. 00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:04.699 So if you go to the next page, ICRMT offers additional 00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:09.699 coverage on the work comp to cover the remaining 33.3% 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:15.579 of payroll in the event someone is off due to an additional 00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:18.379 9,000 in premium. 00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:23.040 However, we have a $50,000 deductible on the work comp. 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.560 So I would not recommend we add this endorsement to the grant, 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.400 but I wanted to talk to you about it 00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:31.160 and let you know and make you aware of it. 00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:32.280 Any questions on that? 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:37.760 Please. 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.560 So if we want to revisit that at renewal, we can. 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.080 We'll certainly get an updated goal for that, 00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:49.879 but as long as we keep the $50,000 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.480 in duck little workshop plans, 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.220 if there's really no need for this additional public sheet. 00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:00.540 Moving on to benefits. 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:04.840 Couple of things that are going on in the benefits world. 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:08.200 We use a system called Ease for online open enrollment. 00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:10.680 This system or this company got sought out 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.000 by employee navigator two years ago. 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.660 There has been a migration that has gone super slow 00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:19.300 over the last couple of years. 00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:21.420 they keep pushing out the migration date 00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:23.540 or the drop dead date when EASE is turning off 00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:25.699 and Employee Navigator is turning on. 00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:27.460 This will eventually affect the county 00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:29.980 where we have to migrate everything on EASE, 00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:33.980 our online open enrollment platform to Employee Navigator. 00:08:33.980 --> 00:08:36.340 I don't know when that's going to be. 00:08:36.340 --> 00:08:39.299 Might be the end of this year, might be into 2028 00:08:40.539 --> 00:08:43.019 or 2027 into 2028. 00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:44.299 Don't know the additional costs 00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:47.700 or the implementation timeline. 00:08:47.700 --> 00:08:50.180 Cost will be minor. 00:08:50.180 --> 00:08:52.700 Right now, the E-system is free to the county. 00:08:52.700 --> 00:08:56.220 Employee Navigator, I have heard, has some nominal costs, 00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:00.100 100 a month, $50 a month, something like that, 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:05.100 that will keep the board updated on that one thing. 00:09:05.560 --> 00:09:07.540 Just a heads up, Navigator. 00:09:07.540 --> 00:09:10.580 The Employee Navigator system is more robust, 00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:14.100 lots of bells and whistles that can be used for the county. 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:17.519 but again, not sure on the timeline. 00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:21.779 I'm going to go through the plans just to review with you, 00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:23.899 remind you, talk about planes 00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:27.019 and then talk about RxMapper and update with that. 00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:34.000 Next page, you can see the plan migration from 24 to 26. 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:39.700 Just a reminder that a couple of things lack over 2025, 00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:42.740 the $1,500 deductible plan is no longer offered 00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:47.740 We had to go to a $1,800 plan that was mandatory. 00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:53.379 We had no other choices in that, it was a 20-25, 20-26. 00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:56.259 The $2,500 deductible plan was not offered 00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:57.600 and it went to 27. 00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:00.259 You can see the. 00:10:00.259 --> 00:10:09.259 You can see the number of employees in each plan has changed somewhat. 00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:16.259 I am most proud of the $3,500 HSA deductible of 12 employees in 2025. 00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:20.259 That has jumped up to 25 employees in 2026. 00:10:20.259 --> 00:10:26.259 Those are things that we'd like to see. We'd like to see employees moving to higher deductible. 00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:29.259 Any questions on that? 00:10:29.259 --> 00:10:34.259 Next page, 2025 claims. 00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:39.779 This is a full year effect of 2025, no surprise there. 00:10:40.740 --> 00:10:43.700 The County paid approximately 4.4 million 00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:46.019 in change in premiums. 00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:49.700 Total claims paid out was about 4.6 million. 00:10:51.179 --> 00:10:54.620 The graph below is probably a better visual 00:10:54.620 --> 00:10:56.539 of how claims come in. 00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:00.500 Again, we are running in the red. 00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:05.500 So just a reminder that, hey, insurance is working here. 00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:11.019 We, I say only have to pay 4.4 million in premiums. 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.600 If we were self-insured or on different plans, 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.079 we would have had to pay 4.6 million. 00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:22.620 Again, we always track this number to try to get a feel 00:11:22.620 --> 00:11:25.579 for what the renewal will come in at. 00:11:25.580 --> 00:11:31.460 I have no feel for that right now, but based on 2025 numbers, we can expect an increase 00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:36.059 on the renewal because we're charming at a loss right now. 00:11:36.059 --> 00:11:39.779 Can I take you back one step? 00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:40.779 Sure. 00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:48.539 Back to the benefits plan, we had 20 employees less on all the plans this year than last. 00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:51.539 What's the cost of that? 00:11:51.539 --> 00:12:09.539 I was going to say there's less employees this year than last year, so that's a way to go about it. 00:12:09.539 --> 00:12:20.539 Let's see, the bottom there you can see, let's flip to the next page. 00:12:20.539 --> 00:12:24.039 Sorry, at the bottom, I'd make a note. 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:27.980 Hey, of the total 4.6 million in claims, 00:12:27.980 --> 00:12:30.180 high cost claimants are 2.3. 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.680 That's an issue that I will talk about here in a moment. 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:38.059 Next page. 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.200 Next page just gives the high cost prescription claims 00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:55.539 Prescriptions drive about 7 or 80,000 of the high-cost planets. 00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:59.740 These brand names you may be familiar with. 00:12:59.740 --> 00:13:02.299 I have a slide that I present to a lot of groups 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:04.980 that I stole from someone that says, 00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:07.180 you are one Super Bowl commercial away 00:13:07.180 --> 00:13:11.500 from huge pharmacy planes. 00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:13.940 And if you recall, if you watch TV at all, 00:13:13.940 --> 00:13:17.259 you will recognize a lot of these pharmacy names. 00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:19.819 Nothing wrong with that. 00:13:20.539 --> 00:13:25.539 and it's just that, you know, cutting edge pharmacy is great. 00:13:26.680 --> 00:13:30.019 It helps people tremendously, but it is super, 00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:30.860 super expensive. 00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:35.860 Like I can comment that SkyBusiness is, you know, 00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:41.940 this is an order you could say, Jay, Kirk, or Humira. 00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:44.539 Most of these are autoimmune, again, 00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:48.079 lots of advances in the autoimmune space, 00:13:48.079 --> 00:13:53.079 but it is expensive that we have implemented 00:13:53.319 --> 00:13:55.799 our X-Matter to hopefully help that 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:57.799 and then we'll talk about that. 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:02.559 Specialty claimants, 10 employees utilize these drugs. 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.679 What was that specialty claimants? 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:06.519 Where are you? 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:10.039 Right hand side of that. 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.919 Yes, yes. 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:24.599 The next page is just a graphic view of the previous page. 00:14:24.599 --> 00:14:35.919 And you can see 2025 saw a big jump, significant jump over 2024 in specialist drugs, which 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:40.920 which is not the best time to want it for everybody. 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.600 I'll flip to the RXMAPR. 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:47.360 So given what I've showed you on the pharmacy side, 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.600 we really hope that RXMAPR will be able to help 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.360 move the needle on the pharmacy claims. 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.360 So the whole point of RXMAPR was to do DNA sequencing 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:00.480 for folks that are on specialty drugs, 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:04.680 those that qualify for the sequencing, 00:15:04.680 --> 00:15:15.680 You know, the ROI, again, you all approved to spend around up to $13,000 on for 10 employees to take advantage of RXMapper. 00:15:15.680 --> 00:15:26.680 And the ROI there was spending $13,000 to offset almost over $200,000 in claims. So we really hope to see that in this year and into next. 00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:35.680 and I can say that so far, five individuals are currently enrolled and participating in the program. 00:15:35.680 --> 00:15:41.680 That means they did the swab, or they met with the clinicians over the phone. 00:15:41.680 --> 00:15:45.680 The clinician did determine that that person was a good candidate. 00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:53.680 They got the DNA kit, sent the swab in, and they're getting sequenced. 00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:59.680 There's another one scheduled for a screening call later this week, and then there was one that did not qualify. 00:15:59.680 --> 00:16:02.680 So that's great, and that is only in the month of January. 00:16:02.680 --> 00:16:09.680 So again, you guys approved up to 10, we're already at 586, just in the month of January. 00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:11.680 So I'm very, very excited about you. 00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:17.680 So we'll see what the results are, hopefully. 00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:21.079 Now, and again, I'll remind you, you approved up to 10. 00:16:21.079 --> 00:16:23.559 That doesn't mean you have to spend all that money. 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:28.279 You will only spend for the folks that get to see it. 00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:31.920 If we go over 10, then I would have to go to the Board 00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:34.759 to get that 11th, 12th, 13th person. 00:16:36.680 --> 00:16:38.000 Any questions on that? 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:43.000 What if we took this, do we have five, where? 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.240 So the marketing started, I believe, 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.740 Early January and late December, we sent out, 00:16:48.740 --> 00:16:51.079 Diamond Brothers sent out Heads Up Marketing. 00:16:51.079 --> 00:16:52.879 We did talk to the department head saying, 00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:56.620 hey, this is coming, you know, tell your employees. 00:16:56.620 --> 00:17:01.620 RXMapper has sent out email blasts almost weekly since then. 00:17:04.360 --> 00:17:07.319 So RXMappers, we kind of handed it off to RX. 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.660 We introduced the concept. 00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:10.259 We talked to the department heads. 00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:11.299 We tried to get the word out. 00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:12.900 I've sent emails out as well. 00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:15.539 Now RXMapper has a trip campaign going out 00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:17.980 to every single employee, I think. 00:17:17.980 --> 00:17:19.539 We also talked about in the department 00:17:19.539 --> 00:17:21.259 that we didn't miss most of the trip, yeah. 00:17:21.259 --> 00:17:24.460 Is it possible to put a message on Facebook? 00:17:24.460 --> 00:17:25.420 Yeah. 00:17:25.420 --> 00:17:26.259 Yeah. 00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.619 Maybe try it out if we can, 00:17:27.619 --> 00:17:31.900 so we can look at you, Hayes, if we can. 00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:33.860 Yeah, sure, yeah, it doesn't hurt. 00:17:33.860 --> 00:17:37.320 So I am on the RxMapper page, there's a highlight there. 00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:39.340 On the bottom, the January invoice 00:17:39.340 --> 00:17:41.820 was just sent to Jogerst for approval. 00:17:41.820 --> 00:17:44.259 And you can see everything is lagging, 00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.440 So there's only two people on that invoice 00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:47.860 that got sequenced. 00:17:47.860 --> 00:17:50.980 There's three more people that will be billed in February. 00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:56.559 The really only sunk cost is the per employee per month 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.940 membership fee of two bucks. 00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:02.139 You know, nobody participated in the plan, let's say. 00:18:02.139 --> 00:18:05.360 We would be out $2 per employee per month. 00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:08.779 And then as people do get sequenced, 00:18:08.779 --> 00:18:13.779 it's about, it's three, four, five, $600. 00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:43.619 Let's say 10 people do get enrolled, what's our cost on those 10 people next year? 00:18:43.619 --> 00:18:52.259 People, Master, I would assume the same, they don't get sequenced, unless they can take 00:18:52.259 --> 00:18:56.940 a new drug, they get sequenced again, I will ask that question and get back to you. I would 00:18:56.940 --> 00:19:11.019 assume it's the same. The second. Let's go back to PNC. Sure. As you're doing these audits 00:19:11.019 --> 00:19:29.220 I know it's early in the year. Have you seen any, I guess, what rating increases are over this point? 26, or at least the fourth quarter of 25 during these audits, just as a percentage? 00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:32.259 You mean the appraisals? 00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:44.779 Well, we've increased in premium. Obviously, the cost of the buildings replacement, things like that are going up. So I'm just curious if you're saying a 10%, 15%? 00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:58.259 ICRMD does a really nice job of keeping costs low. They are better than most carriers, I will tell you. First-hand knowledge. I don't want to give you a number. 00:19:58.259 --> 00:20:08.259 Your property premium will go up slightly because you're afraid of the mortgage. 00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:10.259 I think it would be single digits. 00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:18.259 I think the property values would go up to 10-ish, maybe in the teens percent. 00:20:18.259 --> 00:20:23.259 But ICRT does a really nice job of keeping property rates low. 00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:25.259 Go to the offset. 00:20:25.259 --> 00:20:35.200 Your work cop is a great story that has really gone down a lot with only other issues are liability and those have gone down a lot too. 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:46.059 I mean, there's been a really good, you know, the departments that are engaged with Mark Bell and the safety team really do a nice job that you can make this good. 00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:53.980 you know the things that you can't control broken pipes or weather related things that's going to 00:20:53.980 --> 00:21:02.779 happen I'm not worried about anything else really you know what column is doing very well I should 00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:10.539 say this you know I don't have any other concerns in any other lines of coverage property will be 00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:15.099 going up because of the appraisal to review other than that I don't have it 00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:18.059 That's right. Senator, any questions? 00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:20.059 Senator, thank you. 00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:29.059 I have this off the top of your head, but I'd be a little curious. 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:34.059 The dollar percentage increase year over year for health insurance points, 00:21:34.059 --> 00:21:39.059 and they were 4.6 for 25, just 24, 23, 24. 00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:43.059 Yes, you know, I can get you that. 00:21:43.059 --> 00:22:13.059 Yes. I will do that. Yes. If you recall back in 2020 or 2021, we moved from the 00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:20.059 State Plan to Blue Cross Blue Shield for a savings of $2 million, which was huge. 00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:25.059 We have kind of eaten into that now by this time. 00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:27.059 I think it's been a long year. 00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:32.059 I will give you a history on that. 00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:37.059 Blue Cross Blue Shield just say we're never going to get our money back. 00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:40.059 How high should we increase the premium? 00:22:40.059 --> 00:23:10.059 I don't know. I don't see that happening. I just see them increasing it from teens to 22% over here. I really do. That's why it's, again, I have this conversation with a lot of my employers. What you can do inside four walls helps you on the outside. When you can control your health plan, you will control your costs tremendously. Blue Cross Blue Shield has zero incentive to 00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:13.980 help with anything, they just, if it's a million dollar drug, 00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:16.420 they'll pay it and they'll charge you for it next year. 00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:21.420 That's how it goes, which is neither good nor bad. 00:23:22.059 --> 00:23:24.380 Again, the reason you pay for insurance 00:23:24.380 --> 00:23:26.180 is to insulate yourself. 00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:29.180 These are costs that you have to have. 00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:31.299 Every five years, generally speaking, 00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:33.839 your group is going to have a really bad year. 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.980 So within those four years, you're paying for it. 00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:54.779 So that's why we put in RxMAP, and that's why we're doing the wellness, that's why there's a lot of other things we can do, that's why we're trying to increase the deductibles, not to punish employees by any means, but to get them engaged and educated on their health care spend, be good up their consumers. 00:23:54.779 --> 00:24:15.779 Just like you shop for a car, or a microwave, or a refrigerator, you should shop for medical services, MRIs, TAP scans, and the way the medical systems work, they make it really convenient for you to get an MRI and just go right down the street, go right down the hall in that effort to get an MRI, whereas if you went down the street, literally, the MRI process happens. 00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:31.779 So if there are higher deductibles for employees, again, not to punish them, but to make them, oh, well, this is my money, you know, people forget about it. I was guilty of it for a long time, too. It's a mindset change, it's an education, it's an engagement, and that's what we're trying to work on. 00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:36.579 to the constraints that we have. 00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.420 We're working on that. 00:24:37.420 --> 00:24:42.420 You can see kind of the progression of the deductibles. 00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:46.099 I think before we had zero except for some people we passed. 00:24:46.099 --> 00:24:49.940 So we're getting there, but it's a long road, it's a long. 00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:52.059 Last thing, just like you've done a great job 00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:57.059 of giving us tools to try to get beyond the deductible, 00:24:58.659 --> 00:25:00.980 which seems like it's been a brainer. 00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:04.460 Is there anything else out there that we haven't utilized 00:25:04.460 --> 00:25:06.340 that you can think of? 00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:08.860 There's nothing now if you can, I guess, 00:25:08.860 --> 00:25:10.460 just go back to the drawing board 00:25:10.460 --> 00:25:12.500 and see what else is out there. 00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:15.140 What we try to do is send out employee communications 00:25:15.140 --> 00:25:18.259 and campaigns, educating them on the tools that they can use. 00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:20.299 There are tools in the Blue Cross Blue Shield app 00:25:20.299 --> 00:25:24.259 to really try to harp on folks when we do online enrollments 00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:27.619 and when Terry and I are here onsite talking to employees, 00:25:27.619 --> 00:25:30.700 Hayes, download the app, look at the costs. 00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:33.619 Download the GoodRx app, look at the costs 00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:36.380 between Walgreens, CVS, Walmarts, and Liar. 00:25:37.380 --> 00:25:38.460 Use the tools that you're given. 00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:40.220 There's a lot of online tools to do. 00:25:43.619 --> 00:25:47.500 We try to educate them and keep them informed. 00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:49.099 It's kind of a whole, 00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:51.660 bring the horse to water, can't make him drink, but. 00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:54.900 It's your word to us, Doctor, since you. 00:25:54.900 --> 00:25:56.940 I was just thinking that. 00:25:56.940 --> 00:25:57.779 I'll find out. 00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.380 Thank you. 00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:02.779 Chairman, I have a question. 00:26:02.779 --> 00:26:04.420 It does probably isn't a curious question, 00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:08.420 but at the auto insurance, 00:26:08.420 --> 00:26:12.860 we're insuring 108 units at 5.6 million dollars. 00:26:12.860 --> 00:26:15.139 This has been brought up before. 00:26:15.139 --> 00:26:18.380 Do we need to do a, you know, 00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:19.860 check and see if we're, 00:26:19.860 --> 00:26:23.539 all 108 of these units are still in service? 00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:34.539 At one point in time I had heard that there were units that were being insured that were no longer even owned by the colony. So I don't know who would do that. 00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:43.539 I would say the last couple of years we've really, between the asset listings and the renewals, I'd say we've really railed that in. 00:26:43.539 --> 00:26:53.539 So along with that, you're tracking the titles, right? 00:26:53.539 --> 00:26:58.539 So we should know. We have 108 titles, we have 108 vehicles. 00:26:58.539 --> 00:27:02.539 That's a lot of titles. 00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:09.539 If we should know, now my question, do we know? But apparently George is also good. 00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:13.779 Thank you, Carrie. 00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:15.480 Yeah, thank you. 00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.819 All right. 00:27:16.819 --> 00:27:19.579 Madam Administrator, you have the floor. 00:27:19.579 --> 00:27:21.420 All right. 00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:23.420 Update, which we'll talk about more later 00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:26.579 with past due vendors and settlement offers 00:27:26.579 --> 00:27:29.340 with the nursing home continuing to work on those. 00:27:29.340 --> 00:27:30.259 I had a conference call 00:27:30.259 --> 00:27:32.460 with a new shredding service company. 00:27:34.579 --> 00:27:36.059 They're going to, it's going to be a couple months 00:27:36.059 --> 00:27:38.299 till we actually transition over to that company. 00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:45.940 and they need to send pictures of the two different types of receptacles they use to determine 00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:49.440 what's needed in each department for their pickups. 00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:55.340 So we have a follow-up at the end of this, hopefully by the end of next week, I'll be 00:27:55.340 --> 00:27:56.340 able to fill the outside. 00:27:56.340 --> 00:28:03.019 Greater Food Partnership meeting was on the 28th of January. 00:28:03.019 --> 00:28:07.019 New Board President and two new members were appointed. 00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:15.019 The annual dinner was on the 5th with the awards, that's when I spent. Our next meeting there is on the 25th. 00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:27.019 In court on the 11th, there was another continuance in the nursing home phase to March 4th at 1.30. 00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:34.019 There's been an uptick in boyas lately. Last week, I received nine. 00:28:34.019 --> 00:28:41.019 In talking with the County Clerk and a few others, there's a group that is playing neighboring counties as well. 00:28:41.019 --> 00:28:47.420 So most of the ones I got, most of the neighboring counties received as well. 00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:54.980 It was overtime reports, contracts, board-executed documents. 00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:59.420 There was a lot of payroll stuff. 00:28:59.420 --> 00:29:03.019 January 30th was the ribbon cutting for the new line at 00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:07.599 Sevensia for Lena. The governor was there and they're rolling 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:12.039 out a new product line to make little three bytes. They only 00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:21.079 place the other US that will be producing it. So health 00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:25.440 screenings, Empower Health, those health screenings will 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.360 take place April 2nd and April 9th. We narrowed it 00:29:29.360 --> 00:29:33.279 down to two locations as opposed to three. 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.519 Trying to hit our max, our minimums at each location. 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:39.599 With the insurance coverage, they're going to cost 00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:43.119 the county a few dollars more per participant 00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.759 for the full panel that the county employees 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:47.320 are used to seeing. 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:50.680 Once that's approved for the board next week, 00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:53.119 then the information, flyers, 00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:55.119 and things will start being distributed. 00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:58.200 I met with Mark. 00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:04.440 I met with Mark Bell on the 4th, and he'll be coming to our April Department Head meeting. 00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:11.759 He was talking about the new platform that you mentioned, Origami, but it'll be easier 00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:16.120 for us to access more detailed information about the claims that we're seeing. 00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:19.799 So he was very excited about it. 00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:25.600 And we talked about the open claims that they still have, and he'll be presenting more of 00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:28.559 that is permissioned to the department heads in April. 00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:32.440 And then just kind of piggybacking on what Ms. McGratt said 00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.400 on Tuesday is when our appraisals are done on site. 00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:40.200 Any questions? 00:30:42.600 --> 00:30:45.400 All right, carrying on with this record. 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.640 So just to touch on the Revenue and Expense Report, 00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:52.000 it's just through January, so we're just getting started. 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.000 You can see in nursing center, 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.240 and a lot of vendors have been paid, 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.340 so the percentage used is quite large. 00:31:00.340 --> 00:31:04.279 And then I did want to mention in Fund 22 and 25, 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:05.779 there were grant dollars that came in, 00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:10.779 so that kind of looks slightly inflated for January. 00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:14.860 Did anyone else have any questions 00:31:14.860 --> 00:31:16.860 on this report specifically? 00:31:21.019 --> 00:31:21.860 Okay. 00:31:21.860 --> 00:31:43.860 So, moving into the audit update, the auditors were onsite on February 4th. The goals basically during this time were to conduct fraud interviews and review the internal processes of accounts payable, cash receding, payroll, and any corrections to the general ledger. 00:31:43.860 --> 00:31:54.860 So we did that, and most departments were very responsive uploading documents to the ShareLink portal before the auditors were on site. 00:31:54.860 --> 00:32:01.860 I can tell who's actually accessed the site and who hasn't. The nursing center did access the site, but nothing was uploaded. 00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:10.860 So we do not have any information currently on the requests made to the nursing center. 00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:20.860 Yeah, so that's unfortunate, but we did get the final field work requests this week. 00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:26.140 The Circuit Clerk and kind of a countywide, which encompasses the Treasurer's Office and 00:32:26.140 --> 00:32:31.759 our office are the ones that do the majority of that work. 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.600 So they are going to be back on April 27th. 00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:44.880 So we have a couple months to upload that information, but that's the update as it stands. 00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:45.880 Any questions? 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:46.880 Thank you, Adam. 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:56.640 Presenter's reports, hopefully everybody got a copy of that, there's a link in the 00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:09.160 I'm not going to be going through it, but you still have money, so that's good. 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:16.160 So any other thoughts on that? 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:17.680 Hearing none, moving on. 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:22.079 Approval of payment prioritization of outstanding benefit claims for the nursing center. 00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:29.039 and maybe just speaking up. Is she the one driving that? She is kind of the one driving that and speaking 00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:35.840 to vendors so she'll probably have to come. She's just right outside or maybe come back to it. 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:41.519 So approval of settlement, the agreement with McKeeson's reparations, you got that one too? 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:46.320 Yeah, I'd love to go back to that, but here she comes. So that's all we got, so it's two lines. 00:33:46.320 --> 00:33:51.759 Yep. And I apologize. So the approval of payment prioritization of outstanding vendor 00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:53.559 Under Claims for the Nursing Center. 00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:54.720 Yes. 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:57.320 Kind of an updated spreadsheet was attached. 00:33:58.600 --> 00:34:01.680 I, since the post, since sending that out, 00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:06.680 I did get a settlement offer last night from Fox Tire, 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:13.079 which, let's see, they were in the third agreement. 00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:22.079 The third green one, they did make a settlement offer of $15,288. 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:28.079 They were in my paymaxed category anyway, but just kind of wanted to update there 00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:36.079 and see if my line of thinking is in line with what your guys' directive was. 00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:47.599 I mean, I've got notes in most of them, but if you have any questions about any of them. 00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:57.280 So all the greenies are going next? Until, I do want to keep. Well, and you do need to keep a cushion 00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:02.000 in there. We're reserving money for the civil money penalty because we don't know what that 00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:32.000 We've also had a few employee payouts that now that the sale is not taking place, vacation time, things that were owed to them, when they would have rolled on to the other payroll that were going to be worked out through the sale, we've had to now come back and pay, it was under $8,000 total for the two, but I don't want to not have the funds to come back and pay for the two, but I don't have the funds to come back and pay for the two. 00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:49.280 available for that as well. So that is kind of the plan. Yeah. Still going with the ones that are making settlements, prioritized, and then working down. And then the local others. 00:35:49.280 --> 00:36:05.280 I did get a message from the Treasurer, she said a rough number was about 48-49,000, but without her coming in and double checking the accounts. 00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:15.280 Any questions on that? 00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:20.079 Do you need us to do anything? Because there's an approval statement on the agenda. 00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:26.720 I think as long as we're in approval of this document, yeah, yeah, prove it. 00:36:26.720 --> 00:36:30.559 So I would entertain a motion to approve the spreadsheet as per that. 00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:31.599 Motion to approve. 00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:34.480 I have a motion and a second. Any other discussion? 00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:40.639 If I could just notate, the payment that was made to country human suites was made from the money 00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:43.039 that Mr. Perez has been reimbursing us. 00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:48.880 So, I just wanted to notate that, that's why it's the two different colors, so. 00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.079 Just to find something to get into. 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:51.760 To our what, 15? 00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:59.599 Yes. Yeah, because through our financial software, we have to pay for the invoice, 00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:03.280 we have to hold the dollars until we can pay a complete invoice. So, 00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:07.519 I just wanted to let you know that for clarification. 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.720 I have a motion and a second. All those in favor say aye. 00:37:12.720 --> 00:37:13.280 Aye. 00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:14.079 Opposed? 00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:14.880 Motion carries. 00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.280 Approval of Settlement Agreement with the Keeson Corporation. 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:27.280 So that is the payment amount that you see notated on what was just approved. 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:32.280 They sent the formal agreement that needs for approval. 00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.280 Otherwise, I would have been able to probably pay it through the prior authorization. 00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:43.280 But that is what they are offering for further settlements. 00:37:43.280 --> 00:38:12.280 and Carl's looks at this. I have a motion to approve. Can I have a second? I have a second. Any other discussion? All those in favor say aye. All right. So as far as the Chair reports, I don't really have anything specific. I think things are going along pretty good. As Dale mentioned, we did in fact sell our house. 00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:18.400 recently, and closing on the 23rd, but we're doing a rent back because we're struggling to find 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:27.440 the right place to go to, we'll give the Rockford land area. So, I thought everybody, though, I took 00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:33.519 a different job about, I was in June of last year, and I didn't think it would change anything 00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:39.440 necessarily after that, but it's got me going into the Chicagoland area at least three or four days 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:56.000 My brother is here. She's got sisters that are here. It's like that. So it's not as pertinent that we be physically here all the time. And so I just so we discussed it and got open the door and there's a ministry opportunity. I'm real excited about the Chicatoland area that I'm working with now too. 00:39:56.000 --> 00:40:02.880 and so on. A lot of stuff takes me that correction to itself. There's just not time for everything. 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:11.519 Scott, I'd love to continue. It's been a joy being part of this, except for one thing you all know. 00:40:12.719 --> 00:40:18.880 It's been a struggle, but it's been fun working with all of y'all. So I'm going to be here next 00:40:18.880 --> 00:40:24.559 month yet. I committed to Scott when all this went down and out because of the rent back and the way 00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:54.400 I think that was a God thing, man. I went through all that stuff from my wife's grandparents and learned a ton about that. And so I was kind of prepared for it. 00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:56.079 on that side of things. 00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.559 And I just, I'll probably make a statement 00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.679 if the chairman allows me before I start 00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:03.480 covering the board in March. 00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.119 I don't understand the way people look at that 00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:09.760 from the other side, that you're just, 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:11.400 because they have to want to have control. 00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:12.559 It doesn't make any sense to me. 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.519 That business at this point, 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.920 it just doesn't make sense to have an accounting 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:18.760 about that. 00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:19.599 It just doesn't. 00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:21.559 You know, three years ago, yeah, maybe, 00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:22.960 maybe that was different. 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.760 but really I'm hoping that the public gets that at some point 00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:30.699 because I think they're going to be lied to a lot. 00:41:30.699 --> 00:41:32.539 And then we told them, we need to hang on to it 00:41:32.539 --> 00:41:36.239 because it's ours, all this crap that you see on these signs. 00:41:36.239 --> 00:41:38.000 It just, it makes no sense. 00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.980 You know, you got to understand the business that you're in 00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:44.480 and it's changed, you know, over the last three years. 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.619 It's not something you really know what the heck you're doing. 00:41:47.619 --> 00:41:50.219 And what people changing on these committees every two years 00:41:50.219 --> 00:42:04.219 That takes no sense for us to be part of that, so that's not on you, Andy, but anyway, that would be my, anything from the administration, Iris out here, anything else on that? 00:42:04.219 --> 00:42:17.219 Since I could just talk about, we had action items of approving a walking program through Empowered Health to run parallel to our wellness screenings, and that was, I forgot to talk about it in the report, which is what I went out to talk to Ms. McBride about. 00:42:17.219 --> 00:42:19.219 and the Assistant Director of Nursing. 00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:21.219 I think that was a good idea to get everybody moving. 00:42:21.219 --> 00:42:23.219 We're going to run that. 00:42:23.219 --> 00:42:25.219 So that will be before you explore 00:42:25.219 --> 00:42:27.219 a lot with the biometric. 00:42:27.219 --> 00:42:29.219 Well, thanks. 00:42:29.219 --> 00:42:31.219 Nursing Center. 00:42:31.219 --> 00:42:33.219 78. 00:42:33.219 --> 00:42:35.219 78. 00:42:35.219 --> 00:42:37.219 78. 00:42:37.219 --> 00:42:39.219 78. 00:42:39.219 --> 00:42:41.219 78. 00:42:41.219 --> 00:42:43.219 78. 00:42:43.219 --> 00:42:45.219 78. 00:42:45.219 --> 00:43:00.219 Assistant for Director of Nursing was hired on a new business. Office Manager was also added to the team and everything is good moving and moving forward. 00:43:00.219 --> 00:43:07.219 Public Property and Safety? 00:43:07.219 --> 00:43:23.219 Just three things. Three things to be brought before the Committee for a memorandum of agreement for police, for civilian police, for law enforcement, for direction patterns. 00:43:23.219 --> 00:43:39.219 One is a statement about the employee will not receive seniority while off work, paid for, and nothing like that. Do you even agree to it? So, you had no other choice. 00:43:39.219 --> 00:43:54.219 The corrections for Erwin Corey, who was mistakenly placed on the list due to incorrect number of servers and get calculated, ERT receiving time and have cop ties for training. 00:43:54.219 --> 00:44:07.219 That's pretty much all. This closes freedom of fraternity or the police. It's a new union for the sheriff office, which must be stated. 00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:17.699 Thank you, sir. Court Services.
