AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GET STARTED WITH OUR AGENDA ITEMS. BUT WE MAY HAVE TO STOP BECAUSE WE GOT AN EXECUTIVE SESSION THAT IS SCHEDULED AT 940. I BELIEVE IT IS. AND WE NEED TO GET IN THE ROOM AND STUFF BECAUSE THAT'S ALREADY ON THE SCHEDULE. SO LET'S GO THROUGH OUR AGENDA ITEMS. AND THEN WHEN WE GET DOWN TO THAT POINT, WE'LL RECESS. OKAY. 2.4 A WE'VE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED 2.4 B CONSIDERATION ACTION AUTHORIZING THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE TO GO OUT FOR BIDS FOR USED OIL, DISTRIBUTOR FOR ROAD AND BRIDGE PRECINCT TWO MOVE TO APPROVE SECOND MOTION. SECONDED BY CHARLIE. ANY QUESTIONS? YES, I HAVE A QUESTION. IN. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY FOUR OTHER OIL DISTRIBUTORS IN THE OTHER THREE PRECINCTS. NOW WHEN WE'RE DOING ROADS AT OIL DISTRIBUTORS ONLY GOING TO BE USED FOR A DAY OR TWO ON A ROAD, YOU HAVE 12 MILES OF ROAD. WHY ARE WE BUYING ANOTHER OIL DISTRIBUTOR? WELL, JUST A QUESTION. I MEAN, IT JUST. MY CURRENT OIL DISTRIBUTOR IS A 1998 MODEL THAT CONTINUES TO NEED WORK, AND I DON'T LIKE PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THAT VEHICLE. I AGREE, WHEN IT'S BEYOND ITS USEFUL LIFE, BUT A PHONE CALL, YOU CAN HAVE IT USE MINE

[00:30:01]

ANYTIME. PRETTY MUCH. I MEAN, MOST OF THE OIL DISTRIBUTORS JUST SITS THERE UNTIL THE ROAD'S READY TO SEAL COAT OR ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, SEAL IT UP. SO I THINK AN EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT PLAN THAT I'M HAPPY TO SHARE WITH THE COURT THAT THIS VEHICLE IS ON MY SCHEDULE FOR THIS YEAR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE MORE THAN 12 MILES I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR. JUST SO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS YEAR. YEAH, COMMISSIONER, I DID FIVE MILES LAST WEEK. THOSE ROADS WE DO IN-HOUSE AND I'LL VOLUNTEER TO TO SEALCOAT YOUR ROADS IF YOU'D LIKE. I'VE GOT THE EQUIPMENT AND THE MANPOWER. I MEAN, I'VE GOT A HALF MILLION DOLLAR OILER THAT WE CAN USE, AND WE DO ABOUT A MILE AND A QUARTER, ABOUT TWO HOURS. SO I'D BE WILLING TO TO HELP YOU OUT IF YOU NEEDED HELP. WELL, I APPRECIATE THE HELP, BUT TYPICALLY THE WAY WE'VE OPERATED IS EACH PRECINCT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ROADS, THEIR CREW, THEIR EQUIPMENT.

AND. WELL, I'M CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE SKI AND HOWARD WITH WATER TRUCKS, MOVING EQUIPMENT AND STUFF. I MEAN, I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM ASKING FOR HELP OR AND I'VE GOT NO PROBLEM GIVING HELP EITHER. SO IF YOU NEED HELP, JUST LET ME KNOW. WELL, I JUST I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE TO SEE EQUIPMENT JUST SITTING IN RUSTING AWAY. I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU'RE GOING OUT FOR USED OIL DISTRIBUTOR, BUT I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE GOT FOUR OTHER ONES IN THE COUNTY AND WE'RE TRYING TO TELL THE TAXPAYERS WE'RE SAVING THE MONEY. WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I PROPOSED WHEN I FIRST GOT ON THIS COURT WAS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE REPLACEMENT PLAN. WELL, I AGREE, I UNDERSTAND ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT THE COUNTY OWNS.

AND IF WE'RE GOING TO GO PURCHASE SOMETHING LIKE, SAY, DUMP TRUCKS, THAT WE KNOW THAT IN A PARTICULAR YEAR WE'RE GOING TO PURCHASE THREE DUMP TRUCKS OR WHATEVER IT IS. AND WE COULD PROBABLY GET A BETTER DEAL ON THAT. IF WE WENT TO A UNIFIED ROAD SYSTEM, WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS POINT OF ORDER. YOUR HONOR. WE'RE FAR OFF THE TOPIC NOW.

GRADE 108 FULL TIME REGULAR POSITION JOB DESCRIPTION FOR THE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO A PARKS MANAGER. GRADE 115 FULL TIME REGULAR POSITION AS RECOMMENDED BY THE SALARY, COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION COMMITTEE.

CURRENTLY, WE HAVE A MANAGER THAT IS JUST SUPERVISING THE PARK ITSELF, BUT NOT NOT ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THAT REALM. WHEN COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ CAME ON BOARD AND REVIEWED THE PARK ITSELF, SOME DECISIONS WERE MADE AND LOOKED INTO WITH THE GRANT DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMISSIONER TO REVISE THAT POSITION TO ENTAIL A FEW ADDITIONAL THINGS AS FAR AS GOING OUT FOR GRANTS, LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT AVENUES AND ADVANCE THE PARKS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. WE HAVE PARKS IN SAINT PAUL CITY. THE BIG ONES ARE IN MATHIS, OF COURSE, AND THEN WE HAVE THE FRED JONES THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR A LITTLE BIT, AND WE'RE LOOKING AT BRINGING A PERSON ON BOARD THAT'S NOT JUST GOING TO SUPERVISE OR DRIVE A TRACTOR AT THE PARK, BUT ACTUALLY GO OUT AND ASK FOR FUNDING, LOOK FOR INDUSTRY, LOOK FOR GRANTS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND WORK WITH MELANIE AND OTHER COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE A BETTER AVENUE. AS FAR AS MAKING OUR PARKS LOOK LIKE PARKS RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST GRASS THAT WE'RE CUTTING.

COMMISSIONER, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ON? IT'S YOUR DEPARTMENT. YES, YES, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE GRANTS DEPARTMENT THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND MISS NORMA, WE'VE KIND OF GOT A GAME PLAN THAT WE THAT WE'VE GOT AND STUFF THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. WE'VE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE WE

[00:35:03]

NEED TO SHUT THE PARKS DOWN OR TAKE THE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND DO IT RIGHT.

RIGHT NOW, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A SWING OUT THERE, BUT I THINK IT CAN BE DONE WITH WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN PLACE. YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER. I THINK WE CAN GET THOSE PARKS. AND I KNOW MELANIE'S GOING TO BE WORKING ON A PARK PLAN AS WELL. SO WE GET THAT PARK PLAN DEVELOPED AND GET A SUPERVISOR THERE OR DEPARTMENT HEAD THERE, THEY CAN GO OUT AND PUT STUFF AT THESE PARKS, PUT BARBECUE PITS AND PUT SWINGS, AND I'LL GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO APPROVE SECOND, MOVE IT. AND I THINK WE'LL BE AT GREAT. I GOT A MOTION BY GILLESPIE, SECOND BY SKI. OKAY. ANY OTHER FURTHER COMMENTS. WELL JUST THE FACT THAT WE DID HAVE A PARK PLAN THAT WAS PAID AND DONE BY NAISMITH ENGINEERING THAT EXPIRED IN 2018, I BELIEVE IT WAS.

OKAY, COMMISSIONER, IF YOU CAN, GO AHEAD AND SHARE THAT WITH COMMISSIONER GONZALEZ SINCE HE'S OVER THE PARKS THAT WAY. OBVIOUSLY HE WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT PLAN. THAT WOULD HELP. OKAY. GOT A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION

[h. Discussion, consideration and action on setting the 2026 San Patricio County Health Insurance rates for county employees/dependents, outside entities and retirees, effective January 1, 2026. ]

MOTION CARRIES OKAY. 2.4 H IS DISCUSSION CONSIDERATION ACTION ON SETTING THE 2026 SAN PATRICIO COUNTY HEALTH INSURANCE RATES FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES, DEPENDENTS, OUTSIDE ENTITIES AND RETIREES, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST, 2026. I'VE SUBMITTED THE RATES FOR 2026. WE DID HAVE AN INCREASE GOING UP ON THE DEPENDENT COVERAGE, BUT WE ALSO DID HAVE AN INCREASE ON THE EMPLOYER PORTION. SO IF I IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST PART, THE MONTHLY EMPLOYER PORTION, THAT'S WHAT WE PAY. THE COUNTY PAYS FOR EMPLOYEES TO HAVE INSURANCE. WE KIND OF PUT THAT OUT THERE. SO THE EMPLOYEES ACTUALLY KNOW THAT THAT IS A BENEFIT THAT IS OFFERED TO THEM. I WILL TELL YOU THAT FROM LAST YEAR TO THIS YEAR, OF COURSE, EMPLOYEE ONLY IS NOT A BIG DIFFERENCE. IT'S ONLY A $4 DIFFERENCE FOR SPOUSE COVERAGE. WE WILL BE PAYING $163 MORE CHILDREN COVERAGE, $163 MORE, AND THEN FAMILY COVERAGE. THE EMPLOYER IS PAYING $477 AND THAT'S A MONTH. SO WE KIND OF PUT THAT OUT THERE JUST SO THE EMPLOYEES KIND OF SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY A BENEFIT THAT THEY'RE GETTING THAT THEY DON'T ACTUALLY SEE MONETARY WISE, BUT IT DOES AFFECT THEM. AND HOW MUCH IS THE EMPLOYEES RATES GONE UP.

THEY'VE RAISED THE EMPLOYEE ONLY IS ONLY GOING UP $3. THE DEPENDENT COVERAGE IS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE IMPACT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 30%. SO FOR SPOUSE COVERAGE IT'S GOING TO GO UP $95, CHILDREN COVERAGE $68, FAMILY COVERAGE IS $112. AND THAT'S A MONTH. IF YOU SEE ON THERE WE HAVE AN ADDITION, SOMETHING WE ARE GOING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY AND IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COURT. IT'S A SPOUSE CARVE OUT PREMIUM. MR. ROSENBERG, IF YOU CAN EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT MARKET HAS IS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THAT AND HAS BEEN LOOKING AT THAT FOR A FEW YEARS. WE DID NOT LOOK AT THAT UNTIL THIS YEAR TO SEE WHAT THE IMPACT WOULD BE. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. THE RATES WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WILL TAKE EFFECT JANUARY 1ST. ONE OF THE RATES THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS WHAT WE CALL A SPOUSAL CARVE OUT. THERE'S TWO WAYS TO DO A SPOUSAL CARVE OUT THE HARD WAY. AND THEN THE SOFT WAY WE PROPOSE THE SOFT WAY SPOUSAL SPOUSAL CARVE OUT IS NOT UNCOMMON. UPS, FOR EXAMPLE, DID IT A FEW YEARS AGO, AND THEY DROPPED OFF 15,000 SPOUSES OFF THEIR PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY HAD ACCESS TO INSURANCE ELSEWHERE. SO WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS $100 SURCHARGE FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO HAS A SPOUSE THAT HAS COVERAGE OR AVAILABLE COVERAGE THROUGH THEIR OWN EMPLOYER SOMEWHERE ELSE. THEY'RE NOT EXCLUDED FROM THE PLAN. THEY CAN STILL CONTINUE ON THIS PLAN

[00:45:02]

OR JOIN THE PLAN DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT, BUT THERE'D BE $100 SURCHARGE TO THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS? MEDICARE. MEDICARE. IF A SPOUSE HAS MEDICARE THAT DOESN'T THAT'S THAT DOESN'T APPLY IN THIS CASE. ONLY IN EMPLOYER SPONSORED HEALTH PLAN SOMEWHERE ELSE OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? ANY QUESTIONS. SO WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ON SOME OF THE OTHER ATTACHMENTS ON THIS. I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE TO THAT POINT YET FOR THE RETIREES FOR 2026, EMPLOYEE ONLY IS $764 A MONTH. WHAT IS IT CURRENTLY? DO WE KNOW? SO WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR 5% COLA THIS YEAR, PART OF THAT THOUGHT PROCESS WAS PART OF THAT INCREASE WOULD HELP COVER THE INCREASE WE KNEW WAS COMING FOR THE HEALTHCARE FOR RETIREES. HOW DOES THAT WORK? BECAUSE NOW WE THE COUNTY DOES NOT PAY ANYTHING TOWARDS RETIREE. THE ONLY THING THAT THE COUNTY DOES IS ALLOWS THEM TO CARRY THE SAME PLAN AS THEY CURRENTLY HAVE WHEN THEY RETIRE PRIOR TO 2011. WELL, 2020 2011. SO EMPLOYEES THAT RETIRE 2011 AND BEFORE CAN CARRY THE THE MEDICAL INSURANCE INDEFINITELY. IF THEY'RE AFTER 2012, THEN THEY CAN ONLY CARRY IT FOR 18 MONTHS. THAT'S WITH COBRA WHICH WE DO HAVE A FEW RETIREES THAT ARE ON OUR INSURANCE, AND SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY QUALIFY FOR MEDICARE BUT STILL CARRY OUR INSURANCE. AND WHAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE RETIREES IS THE PORTION OF THE COUNTY PAYS AND THEN THEIR PORTION. THAT'S THE NUMBERS THAT YOU ALL ARE LOOKING AT. SO WHENEVER THE COUNTY HAS AN INCREASE, RETIREES AND OUTSIDE POLICIES ALSO HAVE AN INCREASE. NOW, THE OUTSIDE POLICIES THAT WE HAVE OUTSIDE ENTITIES IS THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT AND NAVIGATION. AND THERE IS A SURCHARGE ABOUT 10% A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. AND THAT'S FOR THE ADMIN PART OF IT. BUT ON RETIREES, I KNOW IT HAS COME TO THE COURT SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT SUBSIDIZING AND IT HAS NOT PASSED. SO FOR 2025, WHAT IS AN EMPLOYEE ONLY RETIREE PAYING PER MONTH RIGHT NOW $650.50.

AND NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE 764, RIGHT? HOW MANY RETIREES DO WE HAVE ON OUR PROGRAM? DO YOU KNOW 11? WE HAVE 11 OF THEM. I DON'T HAVE ANYONE. I DON'T HAVE A RETIREE WITH FAMILY COVERAGE.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT RETIREES, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE THE EMPLOYEE ONLY OR EMPLOYEE WITH SPOUSE. YEAH, I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON HOW THIS IMPACTS EVERYBODY. RIGHT. AND NOW YOU USUALLY DO THE RATES. WHEN I DO ALL OF THEM, I DO ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME.

THEY'RE ALL IMPACTED JANUARY 1ST. NOW, OF COURSE, THE RETIREES AND THE OUTSIDE ENTITIES, THEY'RE BILLED MONTHLY. SO THEY COME IN AND THEY PAY SPECIFICALLY FOR THE EMPLOYEES WE DEDUCT FROM THEIR DECEMBER PAYCHECK BECAUSE WE'RE ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE, BUT IT'S FOR JANUARY 1ST DATE. I THINK WE GOT A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF OURSELVES. WE DIDN'T GET A MOTION IN A SECOND TO DISCUSS THIS, SO I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. OKAY. MOTION. OKAY.

NOW IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MAKE IT LEGAL. HEARING. NO OTHER QUESTIONS.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? SAME SIGN. MOTION
