Okay,
well
with
that,
I'd
like
to
call
the
it's
203
pm
and
I'd
like
to
call
the
open
pub
board
meeting
back
to
order.
We
were,
we
went
into
closed
session.
We
were
discussing
item
8.2.1.
A
We
had
a
productive
discussion
in
the
closed
meeting
and
without
further
ado,
I
would
accept
a
motion
to
approve
the
evaluation
committee's
recommendation.
B
A
Leslie
biddlestone
got
it.
Thank
you
all
right.
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
ratify
the
evaluation
committee's
recommendation
for
umr
as
the
tpa
vendor
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
okay
motion
carries
thanks
real
quick.
Let's
go
on
to
8.2.2
the
hsa
bank.
C
All
right,
laura
rich
for
the
record,
so
on
july,
1st
2021,
the
public
employees
benefits
program,
released
an
rfp
for
an
a
health
savings
account
and
health
reimbursement
account
hsa
hra
administrator
services
contract.
So
the
objective
of
this
rfp
is
to
acquire
an
hsn,
an
hra
administrator
that
will
be
a
strategic
partner
in
providing
the
services
that
are
included
in
the
scope
of
this
rfp.
C
I
will
say
that
with
so
many
contracts
out
there
pebb
actually
had
some.
We
had
a
made
a
little
mistake
and
we
forgot
to
include
that
in
the
rfp
that
the
contract
holder
would
be
the
tpa
and
so
in
this
contract.
Typically,
this
would
have
been
through
the
tpa,
as
was
identified
in
the
tpa
rfp,
but
when
we
released
this
rfp
it
was
just
not
included.
C
That
was
our
oversight
and,
and
so,
when
the
when
hsa
bank
got
awarded
this
this
contract,
we
owned
our
mistake
and
really
just
said:
okay,
we
you
know
we're
going
to.
Instead
of
having
this
go
through
the
tpa
contract,
it
will
be
a
direct
contract
with
pep.
C
C
The
five-member
evaluation
committee
included
two
board
members
and
other
subject
matter.
Experts
and
hsa
bank
received
the
highest
score
by
the
evaluation
committee.
Pebb
has
successfully
negotiated
a
contract,
hsa
bank
will
be
the
new
vendor
and
the
transition
is
expected
to
be
rather
smooth.
The
effective
date
of
the
contract
is
anticipated
to
be
december.
14
2021,
upon
boe
approval
through
june
30th
of
2026
services
and
fees,
are
expected
to
begin
on
june.
1St
2022
and
the
contract
maximum
is
zero
dollars.
So
this
is
a
zero
dollar
contract.
C
A
Do
I
have
a
second
april
karen
I'll?
Second
great?
Thank
you
all
right.
It's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
evaluation
committee's
recommendation
to
contract
with
hsa
bank
for
health
savings
account.
Health
reimbursement
accounts,
beginning
july
1st,
2022.,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
A
Any
opposed
saying
a
okay
motion
carries
moving
on
to
8.3
contract
amendment
ratifications,
since
we
just
ratified
the
umr
contract.
I
think
that
makes
8.3.1
aetna
and
8.3.2
american
health
holdings
pretty
quick
and
simple.
A
B
A
For
the
record,
second,
thank
you.
Okay,
it's
been
moved
and
seconded
to
process
contract
amendment
ratifications
to
term
aetna
and
american
health
holdings,
both
effective
july
1st
2022.,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
saying
a
great
that
carries
all
right.
Moving
on
to
8.3.3
aeon,
consulting.
C
Laura
rich
for
the
record,
so
previously
the
pep
board
had
approved
staff
to
move
forward
with
a
project
involving
the
patient
protection
commission
and
medicaid
to
assist
the
peterson
millbank
program
for
on
a
project
regarding
sustainable
health
costs,
health
care
costs
previously
that
contract,
the
original
cost
of
that
project
was
going
to
be
150
000
and
the
board
did
approve
that
with
potentially
it
getting
cost
shared
through
the
peterson
mill
bank
funding.
C
As
we've
worked
through
this
we've
been
able
to
identify
other
sources,
data
sources
and
aeon
has
actually
dropped
that
the
cost
due
to
the
ability
to
leverage
some
already
existing
processes
that
were
in
place
already
through
heliscope
benefits.
So
the
new
cost
of
this
project
is
50
000,
so
we
were
able
to
save
quite
a
bit
of
money
on
this
one.
C
As
a
result,
we
are
no
longer
requesting
the
additional
outside
funding.
It's
just
it's.
The
reality
is
for
25
000.
It's
a
lot
of
work
for
pebb
and
the
state
and
peterson
milbank
foundation
to
to
go
through
to
actually
receive
those
funds
because
of
the
the
contracting
processes
that
are
in
place
and
no
one
really
is
equipped
to
receive
it,
and
so
because
it
is
now
such
a
low
amount
and
it
does
help
pebb.
C
We
are
just
assuming
the
responsibility
ourselves
and
the
contract
amendment
is
now
fifty
thousand
dollars
rather
than
the
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
So
I
will
stop
there
for
questions.
A
C
All
right,
and
so
the
recommendation
there
is
obviously
to
approve
that
one.
The
next
one
is
lsi
consulting
again.
This
is
a
reduction
on
september,
30th
2021,
the
board
approved
staff
to
complete
a
contract
amendment
with
lsi
to
begin
services
and
payments
regarding
their
ability
to
manage
the
cobra
responsibilities
of
the
program,
and
so
we
had
to
add
additional
work
of
work
order
authority.
C
After
some
additional
conversations,
lsi
did
agree
to
revise
the
cost
of
the
cobra
management
being
or
being
offered,
and
so
the
original
increase
to
the
contract
authority.
It
was
sorry,
I'm
sorry.
The
original
amendment
to
increase
contract
authority
by
1.354
million
was
withdrawn
and
it's
now
revised
to
only
increase
it
by
479
000
approximately.
C
So
the
recommendation
here
is
for
pebb
to
the
the
or
the
pep
board
to
authorize
staff
to
submit
the
updated
contract
amendment
between
pebb
and
lsi
for
the
cobra
services
in
the
fee
schedule
and
increase
the
contract
maximum.
A
Okay,
board
members:
I
think
I'll
do
the
same
thing
since
we're
we've
got
8.3.3
and
8.3.4.
Both
scaling
back
the
amendments
I'll
accept
a
motion
to
approve
staff
recommendations
for
both
of
those
at
once.
A
You,
okay,
the
motion
is
to
approve
staff
point
three
and
eight
point
three
point:
four,
all
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye
aye
opposed
a
great
thank
you
and
last
but
not
least,
contract
solicit,
solicitation
ratifications,
except
this
seems
to
be
the
opposite.
C
C
We
currently
use
healthcare
bluebook
with
the
for
those
contracts
that
are
to
be
held
by
the
tpa,
but
as
we
got
through
the
tpa
rfp
and
the
negotiations
for
that
contract,
we
saw
that
the
umr
offers
a
comprehensive
shopping
tool
that
is
part
of
the
their
services
and
part
of
the
member
portal
that
the
member
can
access
and
use,
and
so
as
since
this
is
already
part
of
the
service
with
no
extra
cost.
It
just
did
not
make
sense
for
the
for
pub
to
pursue
this
contract
or
the
solicitor
to
release
the
solicitation.
C
So
what
we're
asking
for
here
is
for
the
to
allow
pep
staff
to
cancel
that
solicitation
and
not
move
forward
with
the
shopping
comparison
tool.
Rfp.
A
Thank
you
miss
kelly,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Any
opposed,
nay
motion
carries
okay.
Thank
you
with
that.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
are
back
on
our
second
public
comment.
Period.
Agenda
item
nine,
and
so
is
there
any
public
comment
here
in
the
room
in
carson.
D
B
Again,
I'm
a
state
employee,
representing
afscme
state
employees.
I
just
want
to
add
that
we
are
very
disappointed
in
the
decision
to
go
with
option
2
over
option
3,
which
was
heard
so
much
in
the
public
comment
in
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
I
want
to
publicly
thank
mr
verducci
and
a
couple
of
other
people
who
have
truly
represented
the
state
employees
and
listened
to
the
comments
from
the
public
and
and
pushing
for
us
to
get
back
what
has
been
taken
away.
B
D
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
today
broadcast
services.
It's
been
really
really
appreciated
with
that.
I
believe
we
have
reached
the
end
of
our
agenda
and
it
is
time
to
adjourn
the
meeting,
so
it's
2
18
pm
and
the
pep
board
is
adjourned.
Thank
you,
everybody
for
your
testimony
and
help
today.
