FROM: COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS -- 4.4 SEPTEMBER 18, 2001
Your Labor Relations Subcommittee heard a presentation from the
Controller's Administration regarding the creation of an
additional health insurance plan option titled PPO3.
The plan would provide benefit coverage comparable to the other
existing benefit options while attempting to contain costs by
requiring a number of deductibles and/or co-pays. It would not
require any subscriber monthly pre-tax payroll deduction.
We recommend that the proper County Officials be authorized and
directed to offer Health Insurance Plan PPO3 to all County
employees effective December 1, 2001.
