Resolution No. 368-25, transmitted by Human Resources Director Sommer J. Tokihiro via
Communication No. 573, dated October 6, 2025, authorizes the payment of funds of later fiscal
years to enter a multi -year agreement for professional services relating to the implementation of a
cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code to be used by the Department of

to extend for four subsequent one-year periods, with an approximate annual cost of $12,000, to furnish
and implement a cafeteria plan consisting of health insurance premiums to be designated by the
County as eligible for inclusion and two flexible spending accounts.

Committee Members Jenn Kagiwada and Rebecca Villegas commented in support of this measure.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 368-25, and
