A. Determination of Quorum and Call to Order Committee Chairman Barkerding determined the existence of a quorum and called the meeting to order at 1:36 P.M. B. Public Comment Committee Chairman Barkerding deferred any public comment until after the presentations. C. Briefing and Discussion Items 1. Review of September, 2016, Financial Statement Mr. Wendel briefed the committee on the September, 2016, financial statement. He distributed a report detailing the financial information, a copy of which is made part of these minutes. Mr. Wendel stated that the Board had another good month. On the revenue side, he stated that container cranes were down only $19,000 for the month, therefore not experiencing too much negative impact from loss of the Chiquita Banana business. He mentioned that cruise operations had a good month in parking. On the expense side, Mr. Wendel stated that we continue to be below budget and that we are $450,000 above budget in operating income before depreciation for the month and $1.5 million above budget for fiscal year to date. Mr. LaGrange asked what the uptake was if any on new service and if it had an impact on closing the gap with the container crane rental with regard to Chiquita no longer being with the Port. Mr. Landry stated that he is seeing some balance from the new service of Seaboard Marine and CMA CGM Service to South America and that he expects to see numbers bounce back and remain steady. Commissioner Baker arrived at this point at 1:47 P.M. 2. Briefing on and Discussion of a Resolution Authorizing the President and Chief Executive Officer to Enter into Annual Agreements Providing for Employee Benefits for Health, Dental, Vision, Long- Term Disability, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, and Life Insurance Coverage. Page 2 of 17

Mr. Wendel announced that the renewal plan will save the Board approximately $300,000 in expenses compared to the plan for the last six months of the fiscal year. Mr. Scott D Aunoy with the Board s health insurance broker HUB International returned again this month to brief the committee on the actual active medical plan and various benefits. Mr. D Aunoy distributed a handout detailing the 2017 benefits renewal summary, a copy of which is made part of these minutes. Mr. D Aunoy talked about the average age and demographic factor that involved the retiree population and the factors that played a role in United Health Care s demographics. He explained the total premium versus claims history and the active medical plan large claims and its renewal history. Mr. D Aunoy mentioned that Aetna and Cigna declined to submit a quote because of uncompetitive rates. Humana did submit a quote with a 2.5% increase in the premiums, and United Health Care submitted a quote with a 9% increase, but HUB negotiated the rate down to 7%. Based on that, staff proposed the renewal with United Health Care. Mr. D Aunoy reviewed the ancillary coverage renewals and recommendations which bundled the dental and vision plans. He recommended accepting United Health Care s dental and vision coverages at a -2% renewal rate. He also covered the life and long-term disability plan and recommended accepting MetLife s negotiated renewal at a 3.1%.overall increase. Mr. Wendel recognized Ms. Gwen Hager, Director of Human Resources, and Ms. Elaine Ralph, Benefits Manager in Human Resources, for their work in keeping the staff knowledgeable of their healthcare choices. Commissioner Baker asked about benefits and special provisions in the future for those who have lifetime life insurance. Mr. Wendel stated that many of the employees holding these policies now are very old and the policies will end eventually from natural attrition. Mr. LaGrange asked for some information on the ports program of Fred S. James & Company, which covered a multitude of ports, and if there were any benefits from it that might bring rates down. Mr. Gussoni stated that he believed the company was never in the health or life insurance business. He stated that it developed ports-specific property and liability policies that covered risks such as channel blockage, ships sinking, etc., Page 3 of 17

D. Adjournment that are not normally found in standard property and liability insurance policies. The company was bought out ultimately by the Board s current broker Marsh. After discussion, the committee indicated it would refer this favorably to the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting. There being no further business to come before the committee, Committee Chairman Barkerding adjourned the meeting at 2:01 P.M. Page 4 of 17
