St. Lucie County has filed suit against various companies, including the Purdue Corporation. On June 24, 2021, the County Attorney received an email from the firm representing the County in the litigation. A proposed bankruptcy plan in the Purdue bankruptcy seeks to resolve the bankruptcy cases by settlement was indicated in the email. The restructuring plan provides for the assets of the Purdue corporation to be transferred to a new corporation that will be indirectly owned by the public creditors of Purdue - all state, local and tribal governments. The company's continued operation and then its ultimate sales may generate $1-2 billion in assets. The operating and sales revenues, along with certain insurance proceeds and other assets, will be combined with a contribution of $4.275 billion over a series of years to be made by members of the Sackler family. The shareholders of Purdue will make this contribution in exchange for receiving releases from civil liability, thus shielding themselves from civil litigation. All creditors, including St. Lucie County, who filed a proof of claim against the bankruptcy estate, are asked to vote on the proposed restructuring plan. The County's litigation team has requested that the County advise them by email of the County's position no later than July 12, 2021, whether the County supports the proposed settlement. The County's litigation team believes that the proposed settlement represents a fair and equitable resolution of opioid-related claims against Purdue for the reasons stated in the email attachment. Staff recommended the Board approve the Agreed Modification to Mutual Settlement and Release Agreement with Aero Shade Technologies, Inc. and authorize the Chair to sign any required documents prepared by the County Attorney's office. 331 Page BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, July 6, 2021 6:00 PM A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.

HUMAN RESOURCES 1. Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transition to RxBenefits Kara DePasquale, Human Resources Risk Manager, and Shanelle Tomlin, Assistant H.R. & Risk Management Director of Human Resources, presented this item to the Board. St. Lucie County currently utilizes Florida Blue as the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) for employee prescription coverage. To reduce costs to employees and realize cost savings for our health insurance funding, the County and Relation Insurance requested quotes and information from different Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM). RxBenefits offers the most competitive package with the least amount of employee disruption. This transition from Florida Blue to RxBenefits will garner an automatic cost savings of over $550,000 based on the claims experience from February 2020 - January 2021. Staff recommended transitioning from Florida Blue as the Pharmacy Benefit Manager to RxBenefits as this would afford a significant cost -savings toward our insurance funding and give a competitive edge to our benefits package. Staff also recommended, for additional cost savings, to add one of Rx Benefits' clinical advantage programs: Manufacturer Assistance, to save employees additional monies on high -cost prescriptions. Approval is subject to review of the contract by the County Attorney's Office. A motion was made to approve staff recommendations, and it passed unanimously.
