Jun 17, 2025 Commissioners Court

CORRESPONDENCE THIS MORNING? EVERYTHING'S QUIET ON THE FARMER'S MARKET IS OVER UNTIL SEPTEMBER, I BELIEVE IT IS.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ROUTINE

[1. ROUTINE CORRESPONDENCE]

SO NOTHING.

AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON TO

[2. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE CONSENT AGENDA.

WE HAVE SIX ITEMS THERE.

YOU'VE ALL HAD TIME TO LOOK AT EACH OF THEM.

ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CHANGES? NO, I'LL MAKE MOTION FOR YOU.

MR. PHILLIPS MAKES THE MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND.

MR. CROW MAKES SECOND.

[3. Kathy Davenport with TAC: Discuss/Present the HEBP 2025-2026 Renewal Notice and Benefit Confirmation for review/approval.]

DAVENPORT WAS .

WE'RE GONNA DISCUSS, SHE'S GOING TO DISCUSS AND PRESENT THE HEBP 20 25 26 RENEWAL NOTICE AND BENEFITS CONFIRMATION FOR OUR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.

GROUPS ARE RUNNING OVER A HUNDRED UNFORTUNATELY.

HOW ARE Y'ALL THIS MORNING? GREAT.

OKAY, GOOD.

UM, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I TALKED WITH KAITLYN LAST WEEK THAT Y'ALL, DO Y'ALL HAVE A COPY OF THE RENEWAL? YES.

UM, I WAS GONNA SAY BECAUSE IT, I MADE COPIES JUST IN CASE.

SO, UM, IN LOOKING AT THE, THE RENEWAL, UM, JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF, UM, HOW THE POOL IS RUNNING.

AND JONATHAN PROBABLY, WHENEVER HIM AND MICHELLE WERE HERE DOING THE MID-YEAR REVIEW, THE POOL AS A WHOLE, WHENEVER WE LUMP EVERYBODY IN TOGETHER WAS NOT RUNNING WELL THIS YEAR.

UM, IT WAS ALL KIND OF ONE OF THOSE, I HONESTLY WANTED TO ASK FOR AN EXTENDED VACATION.

MY TERRITORY IS THE NORTHWEST AND I'M JUST LIKE, MM, NO .

UM, SO IT WAS, WE ARE RUNNING A LITTLE BIT HIGHER THAN USUAL.

OUR POOL NEEDED AMOUNT.

ONCE EVERYTHING SHOOK OUT, UM, ENDED UP BEING 6% FOR THE POOL THAT IS, IS ON THE HIGH SIDE.

WHENEVER YOU COMPARE THAT TO WHAT YOU WOULD SEE OUT IN THE OPEN MARKET WITH OTHER CARRIERS LIKE BLUE CROSS, IT'S STILL LOW.

UM, THEIR STANDARD RENEWALS ARE STILL 10%.

SO WE STILL OUT THE, WHILE THE POOL WAS RUNNING HIGH, WE STILL OUTPERFORMED ONE OF OUR BIGGEST COMPETITORS, WHICH IS THE REGULAR BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD, UH, REGULAR BUSINESS MODEL.

UM, FOR KAUFFMAN COUNTY SPECIFICALLY, Y'ALL CAME IN WHENEVER WE, WE DO THAT POOL NEEDED AMOUNT AND DO THE ALLOCATION, EVERYBODY STARTS AT A 6% AND THEN WE START LOOKING AT EACH GROUP INDIVIDUALLY, WHAT'S GOING ON IN THEIR CLAIMS, WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO TRY AND MITIGATE THOSE CLAIMS? Y'ALL ACTUALLY DID REALLY WELL.

YOU OUTPERFORMED THE POOL.

YOUR CLAIMS EXPERIENCE OR LOSS RATIO IS RUNNING AT 94%.

SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS YOU ARE RUNNING RIGHT AT A BREAK EVEN POINT, MEANING EVERY DOLLAR THAT YOU PUT IN TO PAY, UH, ON THE, IT'S PREMIUM, WE HAVE TO CALL IT A CONTRIBUTION.

BUT ON THAT PREMIUM THAT Y'ALL PAY IN EACH MONTH, EVERY DOLLAR Y'ALL PAY IN IS PAYING OR CLAIMS YOU'RE RUNNING RIGHT AT THE BREAK EVEN.

AND THEY GAVE Y'ALL A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK.

UM, YOUR, THE, THE RENEWAL FOR KAUFMAN COUNTY CAME OUT TO 5.2 OR 5.2%, UM, AS AN INCREASE INSTEAD OF THE SIX BECAUSE MOST

[00:05:01]

AND WHAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE POOL, WHAT DROVE THE POOL AS A WHOLE, THE CLAIMS THIS YEAR ARE OUR CANCER CLAIMANTS.

WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE IN CANCER CLAIMANTS THIS YEAR.

UM, WE SAW A LITTLE BIT OF A SPIKE LAST YEAR, BUT IT LITERALLY, CANCER WAS OUR NUMBER ONE COST DRIVER.

AND THOSE COSTS INCREASE OVER 6% ARE HIGH COST CLAIMANTS THROUGHOUT THE POOL.

AND THAT'S ANYONE THAT'S RUNNING OVER $50,000 ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, THAT INCREASED BY 8%.

AND WHAT WE DO IS, BECAUSE WE DO WITH BEING COMPETITORS, UM, YOU, Y'ALL MAY HAVE MET BRIAN ER IN THE PAST.

HE IS OUR FINANCIAL GUY THAT'S OVER ATTACK, UM, OVER THE POOL.

HE STILL HAS A LOT OF CONTACTS WITH BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD AND UNITED AND THEY BOTH SAID IN THEIR REGULAR BOOK OF BUSINESS INDUSTRY, THEY ARE SEEING THE EXACT SAME THING.

NOT JUST TEXAS WIDE, BUT NATIONALLY.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE, THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

UM, I DID LOOK AT YOUR CURRENT PLAN VERSUS WE SENT, UH, TWO ALTERNATES.

UM, JUST WE, WE WANNA MAKE SURE OUR GROUPS ALWAYS HAVE ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED.

AND I DID LOOK AT, UM, IF YOU WERE TO CHANGE PLANS DOLLAR WISE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A HUGE FACTOR IN YOUR BUDGET.

THIS IS ALWAYS NUMBER TWO LINE ITEM IN, IN ANY COUNTY'S BUDGET.

UM, AND HONESTLY, I COULD NOT JUSTIFY MAKING A PLAN CHANGE.

BEING ABLE TO TELL YOU THAT WOULD BE A GOOD DEAL.

WHAT I TYPICALLY DO IS IN LOOKING AT THAT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST A SAVINGS FACTOR, YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THE IMPACT TO YOUR EMPLOYEES IF YOU WERE TO CHANGE PLANS THAT WOULD NOT HELP THE EMPLOYEES OFFSET THEIR DEDUCTIBLE.

RIGHT.

AND SO FROM A, A PROFESSIONAL AND A PERSONAL STANDPOINT, UM, 'CAUSE I AM A FORMER COUNTY TREASURER, I'D MAKING A PLAN CHANGE IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.

I JUST DO NOT SEE AT THIS POINT WHERE KAUFMAN COUNTY WOULD COME OUT BETTER IN THE LONG RUN FOR THAT.

AND I THINK WE WANNA DO WHAT WE CAN FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

UH, YOU KNOW, I I WOULD NOT WANNA MAKE A CHANGE IN ORDER TO SAVE A DOLLAR BECAUSE IT DOES AFFECT THEM.

YES, SIR.

AND, AND THAT'S OUR MOST IMPORTANT ASSET WE HAVE ARE OUR EMPLOYEES.

THEY'RE YOUR BEST RESOURCE.

THEY ARE.

DOES ALWAYS FACTOR INTO YOUR BUDGET ALSO.

UM, I DID WANT TO ALSO TALK ABOUT THE DENTAL RENEWAL.

Y'ALL ARE, UH, RECEIVING YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE THROUGH TAC UM, IT'S A WHOLE LOT HIGHER THAN THAT 5.2.

YEAH.

UM, IT CAME OUT TO 12.7%, UH, INCREASE NOW, EVEN THOUGH IT'S A HIGHER PERCENTAGE INCREASE BECAUSE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IS SO MINUTE , IT DOESN'T COME OUT TO A LARGER TOTAL.

BUT WE DID WANNA GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON WHY WE HAD TO GO WITH THAT HIGH AN INCREASE.

AND THAT IS ACROSS THE BOARD.

EVERY SINGLE GROUP GOT AN INCREASE, LIKE WHAT Y'ALL SAW WITH THE DENTAL.

UM, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE ENHANCED OUR PRODUCTS.

WE TOOK AWAY THE AGE RESTRICT A AGE RESTRICTION ON ORTHODONTICS, UM, BEFORE IT CAPPED OUT AT AGE 26.

SO BASICALLY IT WAS JUST YOUR DEPENDENT CHILDREN.

WE TOOK THAT AWAY.

THAT'S WHAT THE MARKET WAS DOING.

WE COULD SEE AN ADDED BENEFIT IN DOING IT.

SO WE DID AWAY WITH THAT.

WE ALSO STARTED COVERING IMPLANTS.

WHAT WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE WAS HOW MANY ADULTS WAS GONNA GO AND GET BRACE.

THE DENTAL CLAIMS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS HAVE TRIPLED.

WOW.

UM, BECAUSE IT, THE ADULTS ARE NOW, THEY'RE DOING MORE THAN JUST GOING AND GETTING THEIR CLEANINGS AND THE MINOR WORK DONE.

THEY'RE GOING IN FOR THE MAJOR WORK.

AND SO THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE WAS BECAUSE HONESTLY, LAST YEAR WE JUST, WE MISCALCULATED ON THAT AND WE PRESENTED TWO OPTIONS TO OUR BOARD THIS YEAR.

UM, WAS TO DO TWO SMALLER INCREASES.

ONE THIS YEAR, ONE NEXT YEAR.

AND THE BOARD OPTED TO GO WITH JUST TAKE ONE BITE AT ONE TIME TO BRING, TO BRING IT UP TO, TO WHERE IT WAS GOING TO.

SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE REASON WHY, UM, WE DO APOLOGIZE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, WE KNOW THAT

[00:10:01]

UM, BUT WE NEED TO BRING IT MORE IN LINE.

UM, WE LITERALLY, UM, OUT OF MY NORTHWEST TERRITORY, I DID NOT HAVE A GROUP THAT HAD DENTAL THAT WASN'T RUNNING AN UNDER 150% LOSS RATIO.

WOW.

SO, UM, THERE IS THAT, UM, A COUPLE OF, THERE'S, I ONLY HAVE A FEW MORE THINGS ON THE RENEWAL THAT I DO NEED TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION.

ONE IS THE COUNTY SPECIFIC INCENTIVE THAT YOU CURRENTLY HAVE.

UM, AND THAT IS THE, THE PROGRAM THAT ENCOURAGES THE EMPLOYEES TO GO GET THEIR ANNUAL PHYSICALS.

IF THEY GO GET AN ANNUAL PHYSICAL, THEY GET ONE PTO DAY OFF.

THAT DOES NEED TO BE INCLUDED.

WHETHER OR NOT IF THE COUNTY WANTS TO KEEP THAT IN THE RENEWAL.

UM, IN GOING THROUGH SOME OF OUR OTHER INFORMATION, OUR, UH, OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL HAS ADVISED US TO DO TWO THINGS.

ONE IS TO GET EVERY SINGLE GROUP TO RESIGN AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

THEY DISCOVERED SOME OF THE GROUPS AND THEY, SOME OF THEM WERE MINE , UM, HAD NOT SIGNED AN INTERLOCAL, SIGNED A NEW INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH, UH, TAC HEBP SINCE THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS SINCE THEY CAME ON BOARD.

AND SO THEY JUST, THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY GOT A NEW ONE AND THAT WAS DONE.

SO WE WILL NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S FILLED OUT.

SURE.

UM, THE OTHER THING IS THE, UH, HIPAA CERTIFICATION.

AND THIS JUST GIVES AN ADDED LAYER OF PROTECTION BECAUSE, UM, KAITLYN'S OFFICE, UH, THE AUDITOR TREASURER YOU, I KNOW SOMETIMES WE'LL SEE AND IN OUR PRESENTATION Y'ALL MAY GET PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION.

UM, AND THAT IS A VERY EASY LAWSUIT TO LOSE.

AND SO WHAT WE ARE DOING IS WE ARE REDOING THIS, UH, DOING A HIPAA CERTIFICATION.

WE WILL, UM, WE DON'T PROVIDE THE TRAINING, BUT WE DO KNOW OF SEVERAL TRAININGS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE FOR FREE, UM, TO GO THROUGH JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY'S STAYING WITH THEIR, WITHIN THEIR LEGAL PARAMETERS.

THAT MEANS WE CAN CONTINUE SHARING SOME OF THAT, UH, PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION WITH COUNTY TO BETTER MANAGE YOUR HEALTHCARE PLAN.

UM, SO THERE, THERE IS THAT, AND WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE GET YOU ALL OF THAT INFORMATION.

UM, BUT IT DOES NEED TO BE, BE INCLUDED WITH, IF NOT, WE CANNOT.

BUT OUR LEGAL COUNSEL HAS ADVISED US WITH THIS.

IT JUST, IT ADDS THAT LAYER OF PROTECTION IN, IN CASE OF LAWSUITS.

IT PROTECTS YOU, IT PROTECTS US.

RIGHT.

DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? OKAY, SO OFFICER HAS FIGURED THE, THE COST TO THE COUNTY, IF WE PICK THIS UP, EACH INDIVIDUAL WAS HOW MUCH, AGAIN? I BELIEVE IT WAS $620 OR 619.

SO I THINK THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT IS AGREEABLE TO PICK THAT UP FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

THE INCREASE IS GONNA COST US.

YEP.

BUT I, I THINK IT'S A VIABLE TOOL WE HAVE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES.

AND SO IT'S A BIG BENEFIT.

OH, IT IS A BENEFIT.

SO YES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I THINK EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW HOW MUCH THAT 5.20 YES SIR.

EQUALS TO.

YES, SIR.

SO, OKAY.

SO NOW I NEED, UH, ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? IF NOT, I NEED A MOTION TO, UH, APPROVE.

I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR YOU.

COMMISSIONER PHILLIPS MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. MOORE MAKES SECOND.

A MOTION.

CARRIE, THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU.

AND WE'LL GET ALL THESE THINGS SIGNED AND GET TO YOU.

TANDY, SHE WANTS TO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER FOR US TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION FOR THE HAVA SECURITY GRANT FUNDING FOR THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.

OKAY, NUMBER FOUR, MS.

[4. Tandi Smith: Discuss/Consider/Approve the Resolution for the HAVA Security Grant Funding for the Elections Department.]

SO THIS GRANT JUST OPENED UP LAST WEEK AND THE WINDOW IS VERY TINY.

IT ACTUALLY CLOSES JU UH, JUNE 30TH.

SO IT'S A RESOLUTION FOR THE HAVA SECURITY SUB-GRANT.

BASED ON OUR COUNTY SIZE, WE'RE ALLOWED TO ALLOCATE UP TO $52,000.

IT DOES REQUIRE A 20% COUNTY MATCH.

UM, BUT THAT $52,000 I THINK IS WORTH IT.

YEAH.

Y'ALL NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT THAT DOES FOR US FOR THE NEW GUYS.

SURE.

SO THIS MONEY CAN ACTUALLY BE USED, UM, TO ENHANCE OUR ELECTION SECURITY, PROVIDE THE REQUIRED SECURITY FOR THE EQUIPMENT.

SO IT KEEPS US FROM EXPENDING COUNTY FUNDS ON NEEDED, NEEDED ITEMS. YEAH.

BASED ON LEGISLATIVE CHANGES.

BUT I DIDN'T GET TO GO THROUGH IT YET.

HAVE Y'ALL HAD TIME TO GO OUT AND TOUR AND LET HER TAKE YOU THROUGH THE ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT? I, I, I, I GOTTA TALK TO HER,

[00:15:01]

Y'ALL BOTH NEED TO TAKE TIME TO GO THROUGH 'CAUSE IT'S QUITE COMPLICATED AND A LOT OF SECURITY MEASURES HAVE TO BE TAKEN, SO, CORRECT.

YEP.

ALRIGHT.

SO I NEED A, A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL MAKE THE MOTION.

MR. MOORE MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. LANE MAKES SECOND.

A A MOTION CARRIES.

THANK YOU CANDY.

WE ALWAYS NEED TO GET ALL THE MONEY WE CAN, ESPECIALLY THE GRANTS OUT THERE.

THERE I, I'M LOOKING EVERYWHERE.

I PROMISE.

I PROMISE IT HELPS US IN MANY, MANY WAYS.

MS. TANDY DISCUSS HOW TO IMPROVE THE RETAINER AGREEMENT FOR THE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COUNTY ELECTIONS PRECINCTS.

ONCE AGAIN,

[5. Tandi Smith: Discuss/Consider/Approve the Retainer Agreement for assistance with County Elections Precincts (VTDS).]

CORRECT? YES.

SO WE STARTED OUR REDISTRICTING PROCESS.

I SHOWED YOU GUYS THOSE BACK IN MARCH.

WE WORKED THROUGH THOSE.

WE DREW SOME LITTLE LINES.

UM, WE DON'T HAVE A GIS SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS US TO MANEUVER THOSE LINES.

I'VE WORKED WITH GIS, TALKED TO GIS, THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANYONE WHO COULD ASSIST WITH THAT PROJECT.

SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO REACH OUT TO ALLISON BASS FINALLY GOT 'EM ON A CELL PHONE.

IT TURNS OUT OUR COUNTY IP WAS BLOCKED.

UM, BUT HE'S GONNA HELP US WITH THAT PRODUCT, THAT PROJECT HE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE OUR INFORMATION AND MOVE THOSE LINES AND SEND THE NECESSARY SHAPE FILES TO GI GIS TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.

GOOD.

DO ANY QUESTIONS? NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION.

MR. LANE MAKES THE MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND.

MR. CROW MAKES A SECOND.

THANK YOU THEN FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO.

TAYLOR RANCH HAS HAD AN INFLUX OF GROWTH.

I DID RESPOND TO LET HER KNOW THAT AGAIN, NO NEW LOTS ARE BEING CREATED.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY MULTI-HOUSING SITUATION HAPPENING ON EITHER OF THOSE LOTS.

I DID NOT GET A CHANCE TO GET HER REPLY TO THAT BECAUSE I HAD TO COME TO COURT.
