We <br />began with a 21-month rate freeze and would be subject to whatever increase the County Plan <br />experienced in year three. We found out our increase for year three is going to be zero. The Plan <br />has done a really nice job in managing it and maintauung costs. There will be no increase in <br />hospitalization for 2014. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, we are already on that Plan? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, yes. We signed on about a year and half ago. It was a three-year <br />commitment to be on the Regionalization Plan.
