The Town of Marana is seeking two community members who are willing to volunteer their service as a Health Care Benefits Trust Trustee.  The vacancies consist of two seats with existing terms that expire on November 19, 2025.

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. 

Each Trustee serves a four-year term, unless the term is terminated earlier. 

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 must be submitted no later than April 24, 2024.

Applications are available at http://www.maranaaz.gov/boards-commissions and may be submitted online.
