Special Board Meeting Packet - Three Valleys Municipal Water District

Recommendations

Info

ACWA has asserted that the passage of the Federal Health Care Reform legislation attributes 3.5% of the premium increases. Some outside brokers have asserted that it is actually closer to 6%. Director Ruzicka inquired whether there has been any further dialogue about changing vendors and leaving ACWA. This is something that can be considered, however dialogue that staff has had with outside brokers has suggested that this be approached cautiously in that this could present an issue with the ratio of retirees to active employees. If the ratio of retirees on the plan is too high, some brokers will not write a policy for you. Also, while other providers could be found at similar or cheaper premiums, the services/benefits provided is significantly less than what ACWA provides. Chairman De Jesus requested that the next time analysis of these benefits occurs that it should be brought to the Committee for consideration. Staff reviewed and responded to questions related to the highlights of the health care reform that was provided. Staff informed that the ACWA plan is a non-grandfathered plan. What this represents is that the plan provides choice that allows the District to determine what costs will be the District responsibility versus the employee responsibility. A grandfathered plan mandates what is paid by the employer and the employee. Effective with distribution of W2’s for 2012, the amount covered by the employer for medical, dental, and vision will be shown in a separate field on the W2. This amount will not be taxed at this time, but may be considered in the future. 8. Water Storage Inventory Summary Staff reviewed the quarterly water inventory summary for period ending September 30, 2010. One correction that was noted is that under Main San Gabriel Basin the correct value should have been noted as $553,328 not $53,328. 9. Audit Services Agreement with Lance, Soll & Lunghard LLP During October 2010 staff presented a 5-year option for consideration. The Committee requested that staff return with a 3-year option. Lance, Soll & Lunghard LLP (LSS) provided a 3-year option with a 2-year renewal feature for consideration, in addition to the 5-year option previously presented in October. The 3-year option saves the District an immediate 5% during the first year; the 5-year option saves the District an immediate 9% during the first year. Both options provide for 3% incremental increases to the fee for years 2-5. Over the term of the 5-year option this represents an approximate savings of $10,600.
