gROUM FOR DISCUSSION OF SPECIAL VISION BENEFIT PROGRAN'_
Personnel Officer, Carolyn Harris, explained that a local company,
Optometric Eye Care Center (OECC) had approached her with a
proposal to offer county employees, retirees, and family members an
opportunity to receive eye examinations for $29. Also, a 208
discount would be given for glasses, sunglasses, and contact lens
supplies. There would not be any pressure put on the employees to
utilize the services of OECC. Attorney, Lillian Michael, in the
law office of the County Attorney, has reviewed the agreement to be
signed and requested that a disclaimer be added. A telephone
survey was done to see what area optometrists were charging for eye
exams, and it was determined they range from $39 to $50. Most
offices charge around $40 to $45 for a complete eye exam.
Commissioner Madison asked about the possibility of another
optometric company desiring to make a comparable offer. He stated
it might be good to seek proposals on the matter to make sure the
County was endorsing the best offer/product.
MOTION by Commissioner Madison to table the matter for thirty days.
During the interim period, proposals will be requested and will be
shared at the December 7 meeting.
