On Monday, October 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM, the Cleveland County Budget Board convened a special meeting to discuss and act on a resolution setting employee benefits for the 2027 calendar year. After extensive debate, the board approved Resolution 2027 by a 6–2 vote, increasing Health Savings Account (HSA) contributions, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) limits, and the dependent medical supplement. Discussion Items - Resolution Overview: The proposed resolution (supported by Board Member Marilyn Williams and others) would increase the HSA employer contribution from $1,500 to $2,000 per year for employees choosing the high-deductible health plan, and raise the FSA contribution from $500 to $750 for those on the basic plan. It also proposed raising the dependent medical supplement from $3,600 to $4,260 per year (a 19% increase matching the approximate premium increase from Health Choice). These changes were framed as redistributing savings the county realizes when employees choose lower-cost plans, with the goal of helping employees cover out-of-pocket costs and dependent premiums. The total cost is within the $949,000 employee benefits budget. - Alternative Proposal by Jacob McHughes: McHughes argued for a short-term “bridge” approach: instead of increasing HSA/FSA amounts, the county should directly cover the premium increase difference for all employees and dependents. He noted the employee-only premium rose from $707 to $818 per month and estimated the cost of covering the difference across all employees and dependents at about $170,000. He suggested this was a more targeted response to the immediate premium hike and that long-term strategies like self-insurance should be studied later. - Debate on Intent and Impact: Chairman Rod Cleveland and others clarified that the resolution does not address premiums directly; it supplements employee out-of-pocket costs. Cleveland emphasized that the supplement is designed to help employees keep their children insured, not to offset premium changes. Board members raised concerns about complexity: McHughes and Vice-Chairman Douglas Warr questioned whether the alternative proposal would require individualized calculations and whether the board had sufficient information to make a long-term decision. Marilyn Williams countered that the resolution continues a longstanding practice of returning savings to employees and improves retention. The employee benefits committee had previously vetted the numbers, which came from payroll records. - Fiscal Context: The county pays 100% of employee premiums. The premium increases for 2027 are 19% (from $707 to $818 for individuals, and similar increases for dependents). The resolution’s increases to HSA, FSA, and the supplement are drawn from the separate employee benefits budget ($949,000), not from department budgets. Key Outcomes - Approval of Resolution 2027 Calendar Year Employee Benefits: The board voted on the resolution as originally proposed. Roll call vote: - Rusty Grissom: Yes - Douglas Warr: Yes - Pam Howlett: Yes - Jacob McHughes: No - Rod Cleveland: Aye (Yes) - [Board Member Handkey]: No (name unclear from transcript) - Marilyn Williams: Yes - Tammy Richards: Yes The motion carried 6–2. The resolution was adopted. - Next Steps: Board members were directed to sign the resolution. Several members expressed a desire for more regular and in-depth budget board discussions on employee benefits in the future, including better communication between the benefits committee and the full board.

The Employee Benefits Committee of Cleveland County, Oklahoma, met in regular session on October 1, 2026. The committee reviewed a status update from Classen Family Medicine, discussed extending urgent care benefits to county retirees, and finalized plans for the October 19–23 open enrollment period. Consent Calendar - Meeting called to order by Chairman Rod Cleveland. Roll call established Pam Howlett and Tammy Richards as present; Raimie McDaniel and Marilyn Williams were absent. - Minutes of the September 3, 2026, regular meeting and the September 22, 2026, special meeting were approved unanimously. Public Comments & Testimony - No members of the public provided comment. Discussion Items - Status Update – Classen Family Medicine: Emergency Manager George Mauldin reported that a new clinic site is in use. August 2026 saw 194 patient encounters, consistent with the historical average of approximately 198 encounters per month. On-site clinic utilization has increased considerably. As part of the financial context, the committee noted the existing encounter reimbursement rate for Classen: $132 per encounter for the first 1,000 encounters per period, dropping to $82 per encounter thereafter. - Extending Classen Urgent Care Benefit to Retirees: The committee discussed a proposal to extend the county's Classen Urgent Care benefit to retirees. A significant challenge identified is the county's inability to accurately track retiree coverage usage after they leave employment. Staff previously requested retiree data from the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) but was told it could not be provided. The committee discussed building an internal retiree list to move forward. Members debated whether the benefit extension should be retroactive to the date the county entered the Classen agreement or applied only to future enrollment. No action was taken, and staff was directed to continue information gathering. - Open Enrollment Planning: Open enrollment was scheduled for the week of October 19–23, 2026. The committee planned a benefits fair with vendors including Aflac, Liberty National / Nationwide, EGID, and a pending invitation to Washington National. Staff is preparing a detailed breakdown of plan usage statistics for employees (e.g., urgent care visit frequency, impact on deductibles) — a level of analytical detail the committee noted had never been provided before. The plan involves distributing printed copies with payroll so employees can review their options before meeting with vendors. Cross-departmental cooperation from the Payroll, Assessor, and Treasurer offices was recognized. Key Outcomes - Minutes Approved: Regular meeting minutes (09/03/2026) and special meeting minutes (09/22/2026) were approved. - Retiree Benefit Deferred: The proposal to extend Classen Urgent Care to retirees was continued for further research into tracking and implementation. - Open Enrollment Finalized: The schedule, vendor participation, and information distribution plans for the October 19–23, 2026, open enrollment period were finalized. - Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned following a motion. Prior to adjournment, a birthday milestone for Pam Howlett was acknowledged by the committee.

She noted that an appeal of district court rulings is active and that if the plaintiff wins, the county may not be able to use TIFF revenues for the project. She reported that the arena trust has taken out $5 million in bond anticipatory notes and authorized over $2.1 million in expenditures, bringing total spending to over $3.1 million on uncertain projects. She questioned who would cover the debt if the TIFF is struck down and whether the county industrial authority would be reimbursed for the $760,000 already transferred to the arena trust.

The Cleveland County Budget Board held a special meeting on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 9:03 AM. The board unanimously approved routine appropriations and lapsed appropriations items, and passed a resolution on fiscal responsibility. A prolonged debate occurred over the proposed 2027 employee benefits resolution, focusing on health insurance plan changes designed to encourage enrollment in lower-cost plans and provide direct financial benefits to employees.

Discussion Items - Item 6: Discussion and possible action to approve Resolution 2027 Calendar Year Employee Benefits. - Commissioner Rod Cleveland presented the resolution, noting that the Employee Benefits Committee held a 2.5-hour meeting the previous week. Key changes included: - Health Choice premiums increased by 19%, with the high plan (used by the majority of employees) seeing a 16% increase. - Proposed increases: FSA contribution from $500 to $750 for the basic plan; HSA contribution from $1,500 to $2,000 to match the deductible increase; spouse/dependent benefit from $3,600 to $4,260 (affecting about 9 employees). - The estimated fiscal impact was $98,000 if 120 employees switched from the high to the basic plan, but cost savings from lower premiums were expected to offset this within the $949,500 employee benefits budget. - The goal was to incentivize employees to choose the basic or high-deductible plan, providing real dollars through FSA/HSA while reducing premium costs for the county. - Discussion included: - Commissioner Rod Cleveland explained that the increases are intended to give employees more choices and direct benefits, especially for the 64 employees currently on the basic plan. - Commissioner Douglas Warr questioned the need to act immediately, noting that open enrollment runs through the third week of October, leaving three weeks for a decision. - Commissioner Jacob McHughes expressed concerns about information gaps and suggested tabling the item for one week to allow board members to consult with their benefits committee representatives. - Commissioner Tammy Richards emphasized that employee benefits are for the employees, not the elected officials, and urged careful consideration. - Commissioner Marilyn Williams supported the resolution, stating the committee had thoroughly analyzed the plans and that the proposed changes would help employees without increasing taxpayer burden. - After further debate, the chair called for a roll-call vote on the motion to approve. The vote resulted in 3 yes (Cleveland, Williams, Richards) and 4 no (Warr, Howlett, McHughes, Weaver), so the motion failed. Key Outcomes - Failed Vote: The motion to approve the 2027 Employee Benefits Resolution failed on a roll-call vote (3 yes, 4 no). - Next Steps: The board will hold a special budget board meeting on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 10:00 AM to revisit the resolution. Board members are expected to consult with their employee benefits committee representatives and bring any remaining questions. - Adjournment: The meeting adjourned with a unanimous voice vote on a motion to adjourn.
