Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the Amendment between Counseling and Family Resources, Ltd., dba EAP Preferred, and the City of San Luis Employee Benefit Trust to extend the mental health plan for police and fire fighters to June 30, 2021. (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)

 EAP amendment to extend contract dates from January 1, 2019 - June 30, 2021.

This contract is to administer the coverage mandated by the legislature in 2017 requiring employers to require counseling benefits for police and firefighters. This contract amendment is to extend the mental health plan called the Employees Assistance Program (EAP).  It covers 63 current police and firefighters for 12 counseling sessions per incident per person per year.  Counseling includes family and relationship issues, addictions including gambling, stress, anxiety, depression and grief.  A fuller explanation of services is attached.

The rate for this coverage is $6.30 per counseling session which with this amendment extends this rate to June 30, 2021.

Suggested Action

This contract has been paid by the City of San Luis directly and not the Trust in the past.  Alternative motions are offered for the Trustees consideration.

 

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE EAP CONTRACT AMENDMENT AS PRESENTED WHICH WILL EXTEND THE RATE OF $6.30 PER COUNSELING SESSIONS TO JUNE 30, 2021.

OR

I MOVE TO DENY INCLUSION  OF THE EAP CONTRACT IN THE TRUST.
