<br />Gity Council
<br />2012 Proposed Final Budget and Tax Levy
<br />6
<br />OPERATING BUDGET
<br />Salary and Bene�ts
<br />The 2012 final budget was prepared using a 1.5% wage adjustment for non-union staff (1.0% Jan
<br />1St/1.0% Jul lst) and a 1.0% wage adjustment for union staff (1.0% Jan lst). As previously
<br />discussed with the City Council, in surveying surrounding communities, most have included a
<br />2.0% COLA increase in their preliminary estimates. While staff is recommending a$17.21 per
<br />month increase in the City's contribution to health and dental insurance (this is calculated by
<br />taking 50% of the increase in the family HSA plan), there is no increase shown in the budget as
<br />this will be taken from reserves in the risk management fund (see note below). The increase for
<br />2012 is 3.6% for medical and 3.5% for denta.l. In 2008, the City added a high-deductible HSA
<br />plan which has been helping to keep our costs low, in 2011 we saw a decrease of 13.1%, so there
<br />was no increase in the City contribution in 201 l. In 2012 we are receiving the lowest increase
<br />allowable by State Statute for a small group plan (we actually would have seen another decrease
<br />had it not been for this law), so the Co-op has also given us another dividend based on our low
<br />utilization rates. We have started some wellness initiatives which has also contributed to this
<br />success and will use some of these dividend funds to continue working on a wellness program as
<br />directed by the Council goal setting process. Part of this dividend reserve ($5,369) is used to
<br />fund the increase in the City Contribution for 2012.
