He felt it is important to <br />give the employees something back from what we have taken <br />away. <br />Chairman Bird believed the employee might prefer the <br />benefit while he is alive. <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he felt the life <br />insurance factor added a plus to the other side and he <br />believed we should switch to Plan."B", Gulf Life, although <br />he did not like their co-insurance feature. <br />Administrator Wright felt from the management <br />standpoint, you are going to pay for that feature in the <br />long run. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, to <br />accept the low bid of Gulf Life, Plan "B" <br />as recommended by staff. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if the Chairman would <br />rather wait to take action until the full Board can be <br />present. <br />Chairman Bird did not believe we have the time to <br />wait. He did feel that it is unfair to deal with something <br />of this magnitude with several members of the Commission <br />absent, but felt we have no choice. <br />Property Appraiser David Nolte informed the Board that <br />the impression he has gotten from most of his employees is <br />that the change would be a traumatic experience, and they <br />would prefer to stay with Aetna. There are 27 people in his <br />group, and they have had a very positive relationship with <br />Aetna. <br />Commissioner Lyons wished to know if Mr. Nolte's 27 <br />people would be accommodated if they wished to stay with <br />Aetna, and Mr. Eynon agreed they could be accommodated. <br />13 <br />Doc 54.
