r DE - 81992 Boa 88 PA E 256 The clinics would be a good incentive for the pet owners in this county to vaccinate, receive a health screening, and license their animals. It will also benefit the county in that additional animals will be licensed and placed in the data base for future licensing renewal procedures. For the price of $10.00 per animal, the pet owner will be able to receive a license, have their animals vaccinated, and receive a health screening for each animal by a licensed veterinarian. Staff feels the general public would respond favorably to these rabies vaccination clinics and respectfully requests the Board approve the recommendation. Staff recommends approval of the reduction from $10.00 to $5.00 for the non -sterilized animal license fee for the rabies vaccination clinics and the expenditure of $1,525 in license revenue to purchase professional liability insurance for the participating veterinarians. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved the reduction from $10.00 to $5.00 for the non - sterilized animal license fee for the rabies vaccination clinics and the expenditure of $1,525 in license revenue to purchase professional liability insurance for the participating veterinarians, as recommended by staff.

The major health care plan design changes authorized by the Board of County Commissioners for fiscal 1992 were effective in accomplishing the two primary objectives of the plan, to provide competitive coverage for employees and to minimize cost increases. During that first year, processing problems were identified and a great deal of time was expended orienting employees to the program. Negotiations are now completed with the carrier/third party administrator and PPO providers for fiscal 1993. The direct contract with Humana -Sebastian hospital is not recommended for renewal because their demands represent an undesirable degree of risk for the County. The Health Benefit Program will not be significantly affected by this change. Attached for Board of County Commissioner's approval are: 48
