Merit Appeals Board September 19, 2018 CHR. NAHUINA: And, unfortunately, you may have to wait for, like, other things where there’s hiring freezes and then the adjustor is just—it can’t be filled and then you can move it on to privatization—if that happens—in another 10 years or so. MR. BRILHANTE: The other thing that’s unique to us is we’re self-insured as well. We’ve had discussion as to whether or not we should bring up third party insurer, if they cover us. Get a insurance policy to cover that $2.1 million or something. MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah. MR. BRILHANTE: But that’s still, kind of, on the table. It’s still under the discussion stage. The tradeoff with that is—but what’s going to be your annual premiums— CHR. NAHUINA: Yeah. MR. BRILHANTE: —for an entity this large. And we got feedback that it’s going to be about $2 million—just rough estimate, right. So, I’m not sure the realized savings with insurance policy or insurance coverages—something to consider at this point in time. Right? MS. NAMAHOE: Thank you. MR. BRILHANTE: So, and again I’ll send you a copy of these goals that I—just the benchmarks and—for your guys information. And if you have questions, I’ll be more than happy to come address it at the next scheduled meeting—things for the director’s report. CHR. NAHUINA: Thank you. MR. BRILHANTE: Okay. Thank you very much. CHR. NAHUINA: All right. MR. BRILHANTE: Glynis knows I always call 5-minute meetings and it always goes for half hour. CHR. NAHUINA: I think—and I’d appreciate ‘cause I think items of current interest—I mean, that’s what you were bringing up. MS. NAMAHOE: Yeah. CHR. NAHUINA: So, that would be the next one on our agenda, but I—any—are there any other items that you would like to discuss at this time? MR. BRILHANTE: No. Page 18
