Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final May 11, 2021 Chairman Flescher acknowledged the employee interest in having the option to visit a clinic, however he pointed out the difficulty involved with employees providing responses without knowing more of the relevant details. He made mention that the employer clinic for the School District of Indian River County (the District) was slow in the beginning but had since resulted in a cost and time savings for the employees, and a reduction in costs for the District. Commissioner Earman discussed the obstacles of offering a new option to employees, yet he agreed that an employer sponsored clinic could be successful. He inquired about retirees who were enrolled in the County's plan also being eligible to utilize the clinic. Ms. Boyll responded that upon Board approval of further evaluation by Lockton Companies, decisions would have to be made regarding the inclusion of use by retirees, the hours of operation, where the clinic would be located, etc. Although supportive of further evaluation, Vice Chairman O'Bryan stated that a large number of employees were concerned the plan costs and employee contributions would increase if an employer sponsored clinic was offered; he asked Ms. Boyll to relay the concern to Lockton Companies. Commissioner Moss added that her only concern was that the clinic would be a "money pit." A motion was made by Commissioner Adams, seconded by Chairman Flescher, to approve further evaluation of an employer sponsored clinic by Lockton Companies at a cost of $75,000. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 5 - Chairman Flescher, Vice Chairman O'Bryan, Commissioner Adams, Commissioner Earman, and Commissioner Moss E. Information Technology F.
