NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETINGS
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES BENEFITS BOARD
[Memorandum--March 4, 1997]
As we begin to enter the procurement and benefit cycle, it will be
necessary to change some of the meeting dates. All members were
contacted last week and were in favor of canceling the March 11, 1997,
special meeting of the Public Employees Benefits Board.
The next board meeting will be held on April 8, 1997, at the Attorney
General Conference Room in Lacey, Washington. As discussed, the agenda
for the April 8, 1997, meeting will incorporate some agenda items from
the February 25 meeting that was canceled. In order to accommodate the
lengthy agenda, lunch will be provided for board members beginning at
11:15 a.m. A cafeteria is also available in the same building where the
meeting will be held.
The agenda covered from 11:30 until 1:00 will include presentations on
performance reporting and accountability measures in health plan
purchasing, as well as the legal, logistical and political parameters of
collecting and reporting data, and quality assurance efforts by the
Health Care Authority. The regular meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. to
discuss benefit design.
In addition, the 1997 meeting schedule needs to be revised in order to
accommodate the request for proposal process. This revised schedule is
attached and will be voted upon at this meeting. Judy Lamm will be
contacting each of you within the next week to ensure that the new
schedule does not conflict with your calendars.
If you have any questions, please contact Judy Lamm or the board assistant, at (360) 923-2828.
