~ ~~ <br />2 ~ - <br />r <br />• Durham provides such coverage after three terms with the County paying 100 percent of the <br />cost. . <br />• Wake County provides such coverage at age 62 with the County paying 50 percent of the <br />cost if the Commissioner serves one term and 100 percent of the cost if the Commissioner <br />serves two or more terms. <br />On Attachment 1 in bold type are shown proposed amendments to the Board's Policy on <br />Benefits for Orange County Commissioners that would provide the option for Commissioners to <br />continue to participate in the County's group health insurance coverage at term end, after one <br />term of service, by paying the full cost of such coverage. <br />For the County to offer such option for Commissioner coverage, it is necessary for the County's <br />health insurance providers to agree to amend the County's contract to include this continuation <br />option. The NCACC health insurance trust (offering the County's two Blue Cross plans) has <br />advised orally that it would be willing to extend such coverage. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The County Commissioner electing to participate in this <br />continuation option will pay the full cost of health insurance coverage. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the amended <br />Policy on Commissioners Benefits as shown in Attachment 1 effective July 1, 2002. <br />C, <br />• <br />
