Three calls were announced for anyone from the public wishing to address the Board. None Ms. Rebekah Quinn, Executive Director for the Bayou Country Children's Museum, addressed the Board with a presentation of a proposed new exhibit, Bayou To Cup, that would demonstrate/teach museum visitors how water gets from Bayou Lafourche into homes for drinking. Ms. Quinn reported that she's met with TPCW staff to discuss possible sponsorship of the exhibit. The sponsorship would include $50,000 to construct and install the exhibit, plus $5,000 per year maintenance through 2031. Mr. David Norman, Legal Advisor, reported that he's reviewed the possibility of sponsoring the Bayou To Cup exhibit. It is his opinion that TPCW sponsoring the exhibit is legal. After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Patrick Marcel, and seconded by Mr. Wilbert Thomas, to authorize TPCW sponsorship of the Bayou to Cup exhibit at the Bayou Country Children's Museum for a total of $75,000. The motion was unanimously adopted.

The motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Wilbert Thomas, Chairman of the Insurance Committee reported that as per his discussion with staff, the Group Health Insurance renewal with Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BCBS) for 2026 has a 9.5% premium increase. Ms. Cecilia Norman, CAO, reported that BCBS submitted the 2026 Group Health Renewals with a 9.5% increase in premium for the current grandfathered plan. BCBS offered two "Shadow Plans" that would allow grandfathered status to remain. The "Shadow Plans" would have higher deductibles, out-of-pockets and co-pays. Ms. Norman stated that staff feels the savings on the "Shadow Plans" is not great enough to warrant a change. She also advised that a 20% increase is included in the 2025-2026 budget. Mr. Chris Lapeyre, Brown & Brown, reported that the main factor in the increase is the loss ratio and age of the group. After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Wilbert Thomas, and seconded by Mr. Charles Brown, to renew the existing Group Health Insurance Plan with Blue Cross/Blue Shield with a 9.5% premium increase for 2026. The motion passed by majority with Mr. David Gaudet abstaining.
