She <br />stated that this is a discount program that would benefit both our employees and us as the employer <br />because the discounts could be used when booking hotels and rental cars for County business as well. <br />The demo showed that some of the discounts are better than conference group rates. <br />Commissioner Wachsmith moved to approve HR Director Young’s signature on the agreement; <br />Commissioner Osiadacz seconded. The motion was approved; 3:0. <br />REQUEST APPROVAL FOR HR DIRECTOR SIGNATURE ON GUARDIAN DENTAL PLANHOLDER <br />ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT FOR eBENEFIT SERVICES <br />HR Director Young asked the Board for approval to sign the Guardian Dental Planholder Agreement. She <br />explained that due to the change in benefit administrators, COBRA premium and payment processing <br />had defaulted to HR. However, the new COBRA administrator can perform these functions within the <br />scope of the current service portfolio at no extra charge. This agreement would authorize Guardian to <br />provide the necessary information to eBenefit Services for the purpose of COBRA administration. <br />Commissioner Wachsmith moved to approve HR Director Young’s signature on the agreement; <br />Commissioner Osiadacz seconded. The motion was approved; 3:0. <br />DISCUSSION – PROSECUTOR SALARY <br />HR Director Young provided the Board with an overview of a recently discovered error pertaining to the <br />Prosecutor’s salary. After being alerted by the Budget & Finance Manager, she conducted an audit and <br />reported that it appears we have not updated the State’s portion of the salary equation since 2014. <br />Auditor Pettit was present for the discussion on behalf of Budget & Finance Manager Pless; however, <br />Prosecutor Zempel was not available. A special meeting will be scheduled in the near future.
