Recommendations from Arthur Anderson LLP Health Plan Review
I would like to recommend that the past procedures and handling of exceptions to the
health plan be changed to the following:
The agent of record's job responsibility will be to recommend all exceptions to the
health plan to the Mayor for his review. Upon the Mayor's request the agent of record
will make a formal recommendation to the Board of Public Works. Full documentation
and reasoning for those exceptions will be presented to the Board of Public works in a
public meeting and would become permanent part of the minutes.
In making such recommendations, it will also be the responsibility of the agent of record
to maintain confidentiality and impartiality.
