City Council from front page
also serves as an alternate for the Aquatics
Center Subcommittee and Pension Ad Hoc
Committee.
Mayor Pro Tem Carol Pirsztuk has eight
delegate assignments of her own. The list
includes the League of California Cities,
Southern California Association of Governments,
West Basin Water Association, Contract
Cities Association, Golf Course Subcommittee,
Technology Subcommittee, Investment
Advisory Committee and Aquatics Center
Subcommittee. She is an alternate for the
South Bay Cities Council of Governments
and LAX Advocacy Committee.
Councilmember Don Brann is the delegate
for the Independent Cities Association and
Arts and Culture Advisory Committee. He is
an alternate for the Hyperion Citizens Forum,
Reach Out Against Drugs (ROAD), Senior
Citizen Housing Corporation (Park Vista),
South Bay COG, South Bay Youth Project,
Contract Cities Association, and Environmental
Committee. And he is the principal for the
Pension Ad Hoc Committee.
Nicol is the delegate for the Hyperion Citizens
Forum, ROAD, Senior Citizen Housing
Corporation Board, South Bay Youth Project
and LAX Area Advisory Committee (which
also includes Dick Croxall and former Mayor
Carl Jacobson). He is an alternate for the
Independent Cities Risk Management Authority,
South Bay COG, City/School Affairs
Subcommittee and Technology Subcommittee.
Pimentel is the delegate for the LAX
Roundtable and an alternate for Independent
Cities Association, League of California Cities,
Los Angeles County Sanitation District 5
& SBC, Southern California Association of
Governments, Disaster Council, Golf Course
Subcommittee, Investment Advisory Committee,
and Arts and Culture Advisory Committee.
With most on the Council have day jobs,
scheduling is paramount and requires some
flexibility. Fortunately, many of the meetings
take place during late afternoons or evenings.
As part of his public outreach, Boyles recently
launched “Mayor’s Open Hours” where citizens
can stop by the Blue Butterfly Coffee
Co. and discuss local matters over a cup of
Joe or chai latte.
The Council’s scope of service also includes
some travel. Advocacy trips to Sacramento to
lobby for legislation to promote El Segundo’s
interests are commonplace. In the past, several
Council members -- on their own dimes
-- flew out of state to get a first-hand look at
a remote TopGolf facility in order to enhance
their knowledge for the eventual vote on the
project. Just recently in late June, Boyles
hopped on a plane with Nicol and Pimentel
to attend the California League of Cities Executive
Forum training. The two-day program
featured intensive educational sessions, considered
challenges that cities face, and provided
cutting-edge approaches to handling a variety
of situations. “It was an incredibly valuable
couple of days with a wealth of information
presented,” Boyles said of the training. “It helped
accelerate the learning curve for our newest
Council members and provided guidance to
all of us to be the most effective leaders we
can be to help El Segundo move forward.”
Looking at the sheer volume of responsibilities
taken on by the Council, Boyles put it like
this: “I’m fortunate to have flexibility and an
incredible leadership team working for me that
allows me to put in the amount of time this
position entails. It’s an honor and a privilege
to serve using our unique skill sets to make
El Segundo the best possible city. Part of the
process is attending many meetings and maybe
working a little later than we’d like. Most
importantly, while we may not always agree
on the exact path, we are a team committed
to working together with the best interests of
the community at heart.” •

Your Prescription Drug Coverage And
Medication Questions Answered
(BPT) - Prescription drug coverage and
medications can be complex territory.
Enter UnitedHealthcare Medicare & Retirement’s
Chief Pharmacy Officer Mike Anderson,
PharmD, who has spent his career navigating
the ins and outs of the Rx world.
Below, Anderson answers some questions
people frequently ask about drug coverage
and prescriptions.
Q. What’s the difference between PDP and
MA-PD plans?
A. Original Medicare doesn’t provide coverage
for most prescription drugs, so for help
paying for medications, you have two options: a
standalone Part D prescription drug plan (PDP)
in addition to Original Medicare or Original
Medicare and a Medicare supplement plan; or
a Medicare Advantage plan with prescription
drug coverage (MAPD). Medicare Advantage
plans can include additional benefits like dental,
vision and hearing coverage, and combine your
coverage into a single plan.
Q. How do I know if my prescriptions are
covered by my Medicare plan?
A. Whether you get coverage through Medicare
Advantage or a standalone Part D plan,
each has a formulary, a list of prescription
drugs covered. Look closely to make sure your
medications are covered. Health insurers post
plan formularies online, or you can call your
plan to request a printed version.
Q. How can I save money while remaining
on my medications?
A. There are many ways to do that:
Home-delivery pharmacy benefits can save
money and a trip to the pharmacy. Some
mail-order pharmacies offer the convenience
of ordering a three-month supply of drugs
delivered to your home for less than purchasing
at a retail location.

If you prefer to visit a pharmacy, check if
your plan offers programs or preferred pharmacy
networks to help you save on prescriptions.
Switching to generic drugs or drugs on a lower
tier of the formulary could also save money.
Q. Can I split my pills in half?
A. Talk to your doctor about whether pillsplitting
for your medication is medically
advised. Also, consult your pharmacist on
whether the actual pill form presents risks.
Some pills are dangerous when split, because
splitting affects how quickly the drug is released
into your body. Other pills become ineffective
when split, because the pill contains a coating
to protect it from stomach acid, and splitting
the pill breaks that coating.
Q. I take a lot of pills daily. One I take three
times a day. Some I just take once. I get busy
and forget to take my pills. Can I just take
them all in the morning?
A. It’s important to take your medicine as
your doctor prescribed it. Some medications
need to be taken at specific times to be effective.
Plus, taking all your medications at one
time can be dangerous as you run the risk of
potential adverse interactions, side effects and
even overdosing.
Q. I drink smoothies with supplements and
take vitamins. Can these have a bad interaction
with my prescriptions?
A. If an iron supplement was added to the
smoothie, for example, that could reduce the
effectiveness of thyroid medication and medication
for reflux disease. Talk to your pharmacist
and doctor about vitamins and supplements to
learn if they could cause a reaction or make
your medications less effective.
