In the past, the actuarial services were advertised as part of the County's overall annual audit. The most <br />recent auditor selection process led to the choice of Berger Harris Toombs Elam & McAlpin (Berger). We <br />have confirmed with Ross Cotherman II, Director, that Berger does not perform actuarial services. We <br />suggest that the actuarial function can best be accomplished through an ongoing relationship with Coopers <br />for the following reasons. Each year, the actuarial study builds upon past loss data, all of which for the <br />past six (6) years has been collected and analyzed by Coopers. This multi-year data base is established, <br />with updated information readily infused to produce the current report. The cost for FY 95-96 actuarial <br />services by Coopers is $3,000.00 less than the previous year based to a large measure on the the <br />County's data already available through their firm. In addition, Coopers is knowledgeable of the County's <br />operations and, therefore, its exposures. Their work has been outstanding, and time is of the essence as <br />we prepare. for the FY 96-97 budget. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that we continue the County's actuarial study with Coopers at a cost not to exceed <br />$12,000.00. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Commissioner Macht being temporarily absent) <br />approved continuing the County's actuarial study <br />with Coopers & Lybrand at a cost not—to—exceed <br />$12,000, as recommended by staff. <br />44 BOOK 97 PACE 468 <br />March 5, 1996 <br />
