Please be aware that Ca!PERS is conducting an audit of employees who also have dependents included in their medical plans. Leila Menzies (Vice President for

Administrative Services-Risk Management) sent a message to District employees in

December informing them of this audit.

The audit is being conducted by a third party (HMS Employer Solutions) under a contract with CalPERS. The District does not have anything to do with the audit except to respond to questions from our empioyees regarding the documentation which they are being required to provide...marriage license/ birth certificate/ guardianship, etc.

Attached is the letter which employees have received. The deadline for providing documentation to HMS Empioyer solutions is January 20, 2015. Should you have questions/ please let me know.

Birth certificates issued by certain states (such as New Mexico and Pennsylvania) contain a specific prohibition against copying or duptlcating. !f your child's birtti certificate has this notation, you can send the hospital birth record that shows the name and birth date of your chifct, parent names» and a signature from either the hospital administration and/or the attending physician.

Human Resources representative for COBRA details. COBRA, or the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Recondljation

Professor Russell attributed his interest in the field of geography to reading early issues of

National Geographic, which captured his imagination with the different landscapes Mid cultures represented in the magazine. This led him to pursue a Master's Degree in Geography at

with a distinguished Special Service Award in 2004. In October, 2012 Professor Russell also received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition by Congressman Brad Sherman.

Professor Russell passed away on May 13 2014 from a heart attack. His fnends, colleagues, and

!t^Ld^t? wereshocked and saddened by his sudden passing. A generous gift in the amount of

$50,000 was left by Professor Russell to the Pierce College Geography Department. This is "a true testament to Us passion for geography and dedication tofhe Weather Station. A portion of

this gift will be placed in an endowment, as well as establishing a scholarship in Professor
