Discussion and possible action regarding a Resolution to approve the Appointment of HUB International as Insurance Broker of Record for Employee Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits, effective September 14, 2026. Caitlin Hinman, Senior VP, from HUB International presented a request to the Board regarding the county's insurance coverage's. Ms. Hinman highlighted the firm's long-standing partnership with the county as the current Broker of Record for workers' compensation, noting their ongoing success in premium negotiations, claims advocacy, and return-to-work programs. In light of the projected 2027 rate increases and reduced coverage under the current HealthChoice program, Ms. Hinman presented a financial analysis exploring a transition to Blue Cross Blue Shield. This marks the third evaluation conducted by HUB International to help the county gain greater control over its health insurance program. Ms. Hinman formally requested that the Board approve HUB International as the Broker of Record for health insurance, contingent upon the county's decision to exit the HealthChoice program. This appointment would allow HUB International to manage the medical coverage line in the same capacity as the workers' compensation coverage.
