checking back through the study in preparation for obtaining <br />approval from FHA for our septage/sludge facility. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that OMB Director Baird is to be <br />complimented for his thoroughness, and Administrator Chandler <br />concurred that if Mr. Baird had not gone through this to the <br />extent that he did, this might not have been discovered. <br />PPO CONTRACTS <br />Administrator Chandler reviewed memo from Personnel Director <br />Price: <br />..0.0....0...0......0..000....00000..0*......00.00....0..00.00... <br />To:. James Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />Date: August 28, 1991 <br />From: Jack Price, Pers nnel Sub: PPO Contracts <br />Indian River County contracted with Stanford & Co., Insurance <br />Consultants, to negotiate additional PPO discounts with local <br />providers. This activity was successful and we are now at the <br />point of reducing those discount agreements to contracts. <br />The contracts will involve complex and detailed commitments <br />regarding PPO activity for the coming fiscal year. The providers' <br />-legal and management staff have reviewed proposed contracts and <br />recommended a number of changes. <br />The County Attorney's staff has been most helpful in reviewing the <br />contracts anal the proposed changes. ' As that work progressed, <br />.however, we became convinced that our objective could best be met <br />by using Stanford & Co.'s wealth of experience with PPO <br />relationships and PPO contracts in this task. This program is too <br />important to risk an unfavorable contract. <br />Stanford & Co. is prepared to work with Indian River County staff <br />to complete the contracts, ready for execution by mid-September, <br />insuring that the negotiated terms are properly- reflected. The <br />maximum expense for this assistance is $2,160. Money is available <br />in the Outside Services account. <br />Thanks for your assistance. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that we have found this was <br />a bit more complex than anticipated. We need to have this right <br />in the beginning, and he felt we do need some assistance in this <br />area. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously authorized <br />having Stanford & Co. assist staff as described above <br />at a maximum expense.of $2,160. <br />SEP 199 1 BOOK F't:��E .,. <br />
