The Town of Marana is seeking a dedicated community member to volunteer as Trustee for the Health Care Benefits Trust.
There is one vacancy available to serve the remainder of the current term, which ends in November 2027.
State statute requires a Health Benefits Trust for a municipality that establishes a self-funded program for employee benefits when that municipality is located in a county with a population of 1,000,000 people or more. The purpose of the Trust is to hold, invest, and administer Trust funds to provide benefits to program participants and their beneficiaries and to cover the reasonable expenses of administering the benefits plans and the Trust.
The Town’s Trust Document provides for five Trustees, with no more than one Trustee being a Town employee and no Trustees being a member of the Town Council. The Council appoints individuals to serve as Trustees overseeing the management and administration of the Trust. Each Trustee appointed must accept the appointment in writing and confirm in writing that the Trustee agrees to hold and administer the Funds, in trust, pursuant to the Trust Document.
A Trustee must have expertise in the field of finance, employee benefits, health care, human resources or risk management and must reside in Pima or Pinal County.
Trustees are generally appointed to four-year terms. The current vacancy is for the remainder of an existing term ending in November 2027.
Trustees will meet quarterly via Zoom or at the Marana Municipal Complex. The date, time and location will be announced prior to each meeting.
Applications will be accepted until the vacancy is filled.
Applications are available on the Boards & Commissions webpage.
