75 <br />Regular Meeting June 24-r 1996 Page 10 <br />Mr. Guerra moved Item 10.0.(14), adoption of a Resolution, <br />considered earlier in the meeting (Page 8), regarding a Contract <br />with the Texas Municipal League Group Benefits Risk Pool for <br />Employee Health Insurance and Administrative Services, be removed <br />from the table, and Mr. Hernandez seconded the motion, which passed <br />unanimously. Mr. Guerra then moved for adoption of the Resolution, <br />as read into the record on Page 8 of these Minutes, and Ms. Hughson <br />seconded the motion. Mr. Guerra stated the TML Board had discussed <br />issues raised the week prior at its meeting that TML Staff had with <br />the Risk Pool Staff. Mr. Guerra stated the Pool had 17 members, and <br />were not as diverse as they should be as to ethnicity and gender. A <br />key factor had been the Pool has the ability to change its bylaws <br />and constitution without the approval of its members. The Pool has <br />a long history of the organization changing its rules when they <br />wanted to change the makeup of the Board. This is contrary to the <br />way the TML Board runs its Board. They felt some members were not <br />legally serving on the Pool Board, and the majority of their Board <br />members were not directly related to serving municipalities. He <br />stated there were more delicate issues discussed regarding the Pool <br />taking care of those members who voted as the Pool wanted staying on <br />the Board. There needs to be a radical change in the operation. <br />Ms. Hughson asked Ms. Huffman why a consultant had been used'in this <br />process, and Ms. Huffman stated because the City ha's not bid for <br />insurance in a long period of time and because of the complexity of <br />the bid. The Council voted unanimously for adoption of the <br />Resolution. <br />The meeting adjourned at 11:33 p.m. on motion made by Ms. Hughson <br />and seconded by Mr. Mihalkanin. <br />Billy G.
