KITTITAS COUNTY <br />Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />STAFF REPORT <br /> <br />DATE: September 5, 2023 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Consider approval of a Resolution Authorizing <br />Participation in Insulin Pricing Scheme Litigation. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The Kittitas County Prosecutor’s Officer was contacted by <br />attorneys at Keller Rorhback L.L.P regarding eligibility for <br />representation in a multi-municipality legal action against <br />insulin manufactures and pharmacy benefit providers that <br />acted unlawfully to increase the price of insulin. Kittitas <br />County may be entitled to damages as a result of expenses <br />paid toward employee health care plans used to purchase <br />the unlawfully inflated priced medication. Keller Rorhback <br />is the firm that the County engaged for the Opioid <br />litigation. They are well versed in pharmaceutical litigation <br />and well equipped to represent the county in this action on <br />a fully contingent basis. Time is of the essence as there is a <br />court hearing on September 12, 2023, and it is best for the <br />County to join before that date if the County decides to <br />join. This is a low risk/low burden law suit for the County. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: The Prosecutor’s office drafted the attached resolution and <br />upon approval from the Board, will sign the attorney <br />engagement and contingency fee agreement with Keller <br />Rohrback L.L.P. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution and authorize the Kittitas County’s <br />Prosecutor’s Office to execute an engagement and <br />contingency fee agreement with Keller Rohrback L.L.P. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT: Resolution to Authorize Participation in Insulin Pricing <br />Litigation. <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Stephanie Hartung, DPA
