CONSENT ITEM 5C <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: <br />December 9, 2013 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: <br />Sue Iverson, Finance Director of Finance and Administrative Services <br /> <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> Adoption of the 2014 City Contribution for Employee Benefits <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />Each year in December, the City sets the monthly contribution rate for employee benefits <br />for the next year. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />As part of the annual budget and levy adoption process, the Council is also asked to <br />approve the 2014 City contribution for employee benefits. The City contribution rate is <br />currently set by increasing the current contribution by 50% of the increase in premiums <br />for the next year of the HSA plan plus dental. Since the City had an excellent rating with <br />our current insurance carrier, there was no increase in the medical premium for 2014 <br />(even with the new health care fees), there was only a modest increase in the dental <br />premium. In 2013 the employer contribution rate was $697.42 per month per employee, <br />for 2014 it has been proposed to increase this to $699.61 per month per employee and has <br />been calculated into the proposed 2014 budget. <br /> <br />Council Action <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution 2013-047, a Resolution setting the City Contribution to <br />Employee Monthly Benefits at the amount of $699.61 per month, per employee. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />Attachment A: Resolution 2013-047 <br /> <br />City Council Meeting <br />P:\Admin\Council\Agendas & Packet Information\2013\12-09-13-R\Sue\Benefits\memo.doc <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
