1. Approval of an Amendment to the Forest Preserve District of Will County Retiree Health Insurance Trust Agreement Allowing the Forest Preserve Board President With The Advice And Consent of The Board of Commissioners to Appoint the Sixth and Seventh Members to the Board of Trustees
Commissioner Tuminello explains, the sixth and seventh members of the Board of Trustees are elected exclusively from those retired employees of the District receiving benefits from the District's healthcare plan. The Trust currently has 19 retirees receiving healthcare benefits.
With such a small population of retirees and the cumbersome nature of the election process established under the original Trust Agreement, a change is proposed in how the sixth and seventh members are selected to serve on the Board of Trustees.
Moving forward, staff would prepare a list of retirees receiving benefits from the Trust that are interested in serving as a member of the Board of Trustees. This list would be presented to the President of the Board of Commissioners for their consideration and appointment. The President would then forward (2) two names from the list to the full Board of Commissioners for advice and consent.
