We have some important news to share with you. We are changing our name to Texas Health Benefits Pool (TX Health Benefits Pool). Why are we changing our name? The Pool was started over 40 years ago to help municipalities find comprehensive coverage at an affordable rate. Over these 40 years, the Pool has expanded to offer coverage to other political subdivisions and government agencies, not just municipalities. As our mission grew, our name didn’t fully reflect that, and we recognized the need to change our name to encompass all the Texas public employees we serve. TX Health Benefits Pool is still governed by the same Board of Directors, led by current and former public officials who look out for the best interests of our member groups. You will work with the same staff members who have supported you until now. Most importantly you will continue to have the same protections that the Pool has provided you, your employees, and their families for many years. As we make this name change, we are recommitting to our 44-year-long promise to provide quality healthcare benefits at an exceptional value for our nearly 50,000 members. We are changing our name — not our purpose. Benefit Changes for the Upcoming Plan Year Mental Health Parity – In compliance with the federal Mental Health Parity law, TML Health will now offer mental/ behavioral health and substance abuse coverage with no limits on the number of treatments. Certain treatments, such as inpatient admissions, may be subject to prior authorization. Deer Oaks EAP and Wondr Health – Effective 10/01/23, Deer Oaks EAP, and Wondr Health will no longer be offered. After careful consideration, the Board determined that the cost of these programs far outweighed the benefits to the Pool and our members. Utilization of these programs was very low. There are also some booklet updates for benefit and eligibility that we will communicate to you in a webinar in the coming weeks. Please be on the lookout for a save the date and invite to attend the webinar which will include details for these important updates. Plan Options There are plan options we can share with you to help reduce the impact of the projected rate increase you have received, please reach out to your Account Executive, Heather VonGonten at 512-719-6519 for assistance. They will be able to consult with you on reviewing the healthcare options available for you which can fit your budget. Also, if it is available in your area, they can also talk to you about the savings that can be achieved by looking at an HMO option or how consumer spending account products, such as FSA, DCA, HRA, or HSA may be able to help your employees save on their out-of-pocket costs. 1|P a g e 5 Open Enrollment We offer several ways to manage open enrollment, including Employee Self-Service options. So, if you want to allow your employees to make their elections on their own, then make sure you indicate that option on your renewal. All you need to do is check the box for Employee Self Service. As a reminder, if you do not give your employees this option, you as the Benefit Coordinator will enter their elections online. Don’t forget that we also allow all members to call Member Services to enroll by phone. This is an easy and convenient option for your employees that do not have computers. We provide a follow up email with confirmation of their elections, and also provide you with a summary so that you can update your payroll deductions, if applicable. Renewal Timeline To ensure your benefits are set up in time for your open enrollment period, we need to have your benefits decision at least 90 days prior to your anniversary date. Thus, if we do not receive your decision by the renewal deadline, this could interrupt your employee’s ability to access healthcare. How to Renew If you need assistance completing your renewal, that’s where your Account Executive, Heather VonGonten comes in. They will be reaching out to you shortly to answer any of your questions regarding the renewal timeline and to help you accurately designate your elections. For faster processing, please return the completed, signed form by email to Heather.VonGonten@tmlhb.org as soon as possible, but no later than 07/01/2023. Our Partnership Many of you have been longstanding members of the Pool and we sincerely thank you for your loyalty. As we move into this next chapter with our new name, we look forward to our continued partnership into the future. On behalf of the Trustees and the entire TX Health Benefits Pool, thank you for trusting us with your employees’ healthcare needs. We look forward to serving you, your employees, and your retirees during this new plan year. Respectfully, Jennifer Hoff Executive Director 2|P a g e 6 7 8 CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY - JUNE 14, 2023 2801 Ranch Road 1869 - Liberty Hill AGENDA ITEM 2.b 5:30 PM - 6:00 PM - Discussion of Board and Committee Member Appointments and related issues.

More research will be required to make sure that these Boards are no longer needed, however, they have been dormant for several years. This issue will be a an item on a future agenda. • Building Standards Board • Impact Fee Committee (has not met since 2020) • San Gabriel River Basin Parks Board (has not met since 2020) 22 31 For Future Consideration - Miscellaneous Boards and Special Circumstances The Following are existing TIRZ Boards • Butler Farms TIRZ Board #3 – has not met since Dec. 2021 • Summerlyn West TIRZ Board #2 – has not met since 2018. These TIRZ Boards have not met in several years, however, there are statutory laws that need to be reviewed before city staff makes a formal recommendation. It may be that these boards will no longer need coordination by the City. The City Staff will bring back at a future meeting an agenda item and formal recommendation. 232 For Future Consideration - Miscellaneous Boards and Special Circumstances When/If a future Downtown TIRZ is established, there will be the requirement that a Board be established to serve for it. 24 33 For Future Consideration - Miscellaneous Boards and Special Circumstances FUTURE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTS At this time, the City Council is evaluating options for adoption of an Ordinance to Establish a Board of (Zoning) Adjustments or leaving the duties of BOA to the City Council, or establishing another type of Board to consider appeals. 2534 Bylaws At their Special Joint Meeting with the Planning and Zoning Commission held 6-1-2023, the City Council received a proposed format to use to standardize the look and arrangement of all Board and Committee bylaws. This proposed format was modeled after the format the city staff uses to compose Staff Report Cover Sheets for agenda items. The proposed Bylaws Format would have each Board, Committee & Commission create their bylaws on a uniform template. If the current bylaws contain references or duplicated sections of other Ordinances or statutes, these could be eliminated to streamline the bylaws if the Board members/Council Members desire. City Council, by adoption of Ord. 2023-O-003 and Ord. 2023-O-009 the Uniform Board and Committees Ordinance, as well as Resolution 2023-R-010 Board and Committee Member Handbook, have established most of policies and procedures which govern the city’s Boards and Committees. Individual Committee bylaws can now be drafted to contain information about the unique features of each Board and Commission. 35 City of Liberty Hill Bylaws Board and Committee Bylaws Format Draft 5-24-2023 If City Council desires to adopt the Uniform Bylaws Format, a possible motion could be: ‘I move to accept and to adopt the proposed Name of Board, Committee, Commission, or Task Force: Uniform Board and Committee Bylaws Name/List of Enabling Legislation: section of City Code, Ordinance or Resolution establishing Board: Format Draft 5-24-2023, to be used to update Number of Members: Voting: _______________________________ Non-Voting (ex-Officio): _____ bylaws for current and future Boards and Officers to be Elected: (such as Chair, Vice Chair, Board Secretary…. (Council may appoint Chair…) Commissions.’ Charge of the Board, Committee, Commission: (What makes this Board different from other Boards?) What is the specific function of this Board? Any special qualifications for the members? 36 When do they meet? (Annually, Bi-Annually, Monthly? Is there a regular meeting time? Thank You 37
