ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 24, 2022 2 <br />City Administrator Perrault discussed some of the costs and deductible differences between the <br />49er family -only plan and the PEIP plan. He noted that previously, the Council was not interested <br />in the 49er plan for non -union employees so he did not prepare that information for tonight's <br />meeting. <br />City Administrator Perrault provided a brief summary of the PEIP plan, which includes the <br />choice of three different carriers (HP, B1ueCrossBlue Shield, and Preferred One). He stated that <br />employees select the carrier they want and that coverage is based on tiers, depending on the <br />carrier that is selected and the location of the medical clinic. <br />Councilmember Radziej asked for information about the City's HSA contribution. <br />City Administrator Perrault explained that currently PEIP offers three levels of plans that <br />employees can choose from: an HSA plan, a value plan, and a high value plan. He noted that the <br />HSA plan includes a monthly City contribution, but that all employees do receive the same benefit <br />contribution amount as a whole. <br />A discussion ensued regarding review of the current PEIP premium information provided in the <br />table within the packet. <br />Councilmember Radziej asked if under PEIP, are all employees required to participate in the <br />City's medical coverage plan, and would HP require the same. He also asked if employees had <br />been asked if they would potentially waive coverage if they could. <br />City Administrator Perrault stated that currently PEIP does require a certain percentage of <br />employees participate, and so employees were not currently eligible to opt out. He noted that this <br />would not be the case with the HP coverage and that an opt out option would exist under that <br />plan. <br />A discussion ensued about HP coverage. <br />A discussion ensued about the process for City Council approval of the employee benefits medical <br />contribution as it relates to the overall budget approval. <br />City Administrator Perrault stated that it appears the Council came to a consensus about HP <br />and asked if the Council was interested in providing the option for employees to opt out of the <br />City's medical coverage plan and receive a cash contribution in lieu of coverage. <br />A discussion ensued regarding aspects of opting out of medical coverage. Various examples were <br />discussed pertaining to opt out amounts that could potentially be offered, based on Council <br />direction. <br />A discussion ensued regarding the premium amounts paid by the City currently based on <br />information contained in the agenda packet. <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would support offering the example as noted in Attachment C <br />and offering a monthly amount to opt out of the City's coverage. <br />
