The meeting was called to order by Ms. Sybille Noble.     Post 65 Retiree Medical - Jim Martin   In follow-up to the previous decision made regarding the health care plan in which the committee chose Nebco to handle post 65 medical health care (Medicare supplemental health care), Nebco has offered two plans in their bids, customized and standardized.  The standardized plan in the long term has the potential for cost stability for the retirees with an inflation of 5-7% per year.  The customized plan is based on the experience of our retirees.  If the experience is poor, the cost would increase accordingly each year.   Motion was made by Maurice Denbow to choose the Nebco Standardized Plan.  Seconded by Elly Riss.  Motion carried   Pharmacy Benefits - Jim Martin   The Benefits Office is asking the committee to reconsider their choice of CIGNA as the PBM and presented follow-up information regarding both CIGNA and MEDCO.  Mr. Martin pointed out MEDCO's disruption percentage (number of prescriptions current employees would have to change or pay a higher cost for) and savings of almost $300,000.   Motion was made by Sybille Noble to switch from the previous choice of CIGNA to MEDCO.   Motion failed.   Deferred Compensation - Jim Martin   In a letter from Nationwide, it states that when certain funds are identified and substandard, they must drop them.  Nationwide is suggesting that we default to what has been created as a "fund of funds" (Nationwide Large Cap Growth fund) which will be managed by three firms.   Motion was made by Bob Patterson to accept the "fund of funds" as the default.  Seconded by Minnie McCray.  Motion carried.   Other Business   Motion to submit a resolution to the Board of Commission to include two retirees as members of the UPPC by Bob Patterson.  Seconded by Minnie McCray.  Motion carried. Motion to approve the minutes of May 2, 24 and 31, 2007 was made by Bob Patterson.  Seconded by Paul Boyd.  Motion carried. Motion to adjourn Sybille Noble.  Seconded by Steve Stampson.  Meeting adjourned.     Respectfully submitted,     __________________________________ Shasta L. Sharp, Committee Recorder July 12, 2007
