Summary
Staff proposed replacing third-party benefits administrator Ant Farm with PlanSource direct at a total cost of $192,000, and said existing funding sources will cover costs so there is no FY26 expense to the district; the change will take effect in FY27.
Staff told the finance committee the district intends to move benefits administration from the current third-party administrator (Ant Farm) to PlanSource direct after a year of unsatisfactory service. The presenter said the PlanSource arrangement carries a $192,000 contract cost, but staff said existing funding sources will cover the expense so there will be no FY26 district cost; the change will take effect in FY27 when normal processes resume.
A board member praised staff for resolving responsiveness issues without adding an extra contract and thanked the team for the solution.
