In 1973, the Association was reorganized as the “MontanaAssociation of Counties” to allow for the creation of a permanent office andauthorized the hiring of an Executive Director and appropriate staff.In 1985, a group of Montana counties banded together to create the “MACoJoint Powers Authority (JPA) Workers’ Compensation Trust,” in response torapidly increasing costs for workers’ compensation coverage for countyemployees. In 2015, the Trust was renamed to the “Workers CompensationTrust (WCT).”In 1986, the “MACo Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA)” was created toprovide liability and general insurance coverage for member counties, inresponse to the change in the market which made policies for certain liabilitycoverages unavailable and/or unaffordable for members. In 2015, the Trust wasrenamed to the “Property & Casualty Trust (PCT).”In 1999, the MACo Administration building was built, with ownership equallyshared between MACo, the JPA (now the WCT) and the JPIA (now the PCT).In 2005, the “MACo Health Care Trust (HCT)” was created to provide grouphealth benefits to member counties and special districts.In 2006, a second building was built by the PCT/WCT.MACo as an Association provides third-party administration services to theHCT, PCT, and WCT through annual service agreements.16
MAC M(CONTINUEDCAHISTORY, VISION & GOALS)OIDWINTERONFERENCEGENDAFollowing extensive due diligence by the Boards of the Trusts, it wasdetermined that bringing services in-house and hiring staff would savemembers considerably, by eliminating the continually increasing costs of thirdparty administrators and contracts: In July 1992, PCT marketing was brought in-house.In October 1987, WCT Risk Management was brought in-houseIn January 2006, PCT/WCT claims administration was brought inhouse.In April 2007, HCT Administration, marketing, and member serviceswere brought in-house.In October 2008, Legal Counsel and Defense Services were broughtin-house.MACO’S VISION STATEMENTMACo enhances the public service mission of counties by promotingintegrity and providing proactive leadership while acknowledging andrespecting Montana’s diversity.MACO’S GOALS1. To educate and develop relationships with legislators, state officials,and local elected officials regarding county structure, budgeting, andoperations;2. To provide education on self-determination techniques, such ascharter government, functional consolidation, and facilitating agreements;3. To educate the public using press releases distributed to localmedia to market county government; and4. To promote effective tax reform including consideration of generalsales tax.17
