II. Adoption of Agenda

The agenda was adopted as written

III. Approval of Minutes

The minutes from the August 21^st meeting were revised and approved.

IV. Pharmacy Options

Kay provided some follow up information on the pharmacy vendors from Mercer for review. After discussion a motion was made and seconded to choose ESI as the pharmacy vendor for the next fiscal year.

V. Benefit Renewal

The trustees reviewed appendix C from the August 21^st Consultant’s Report. There were questions on the summary plan section, the major medical lifetime benefit, and concern about the section regarding the definition of spouse. A call was placed to Tom Pursley for some clarification on these questions. Tom will do some research and provide a response. He said the trustees could accept the renewal terms now with the contingency that they receive adequate clarification. After finishing the call with Tom further discussion followed. It was decided that the decision on the Group Health Major Medical would be delayed until Molly could obtain clarification from Mercer. Once she has that clarification the information will be sent via email to the trustees for their vote.

A motion was made and seconded to (1) approve the second definition of spouse with the caveat that Molly verify with Mercer that this will not change language in the plan regarding coverage for domestic partners and (2) give authority to Molly to approve the summary plan description based on her clarification from Mercer at her upcoming meeting with Sean. The motion passed.

VI. Flex Plan Revision

This item will be added to the September agenda along with the Benny Card.
