<br /> 1YJ1fU#J ~ f- 1 <br /> ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 16. 1996 4 .1 <br /> Mr. Fritsinger indicated the health insurance premium has increased by approximately $40 per I <br /> month for family coverage and $14 per month for single coverage. The family dental had also <br /> increased by approximately $6 per month. I <br /> Councilmember Malone stated he felt this increase was relatively unexpected. He asked if Staff had <br /> shopped with other insurance carriers. I <br /> Mr. Fritsinger noted the City had changed insurance carriers in 1996 which had resulted in a I <br /> significant reduction in premium from 1995. Even with the increase in 1997, the premium is still <br /> less than it was in 1995. Staff will continue to investigate other options. <br /> Council member Malone stated he felt City Council should consider an increase in the contribution I <br /> to insurance premiums for non-union employees which would result in their insurance benefits being <br /> equivalent with the union employees' benefits. He believed this would not significantly impact the I <br /> approved 1997 Budget. <br /> Mr. Post noted the Local 49 union members have their own healtll insurance coverage at a cost of I <br /> $325 per month per individual. He noted there are only three non-union employees with family <br /> coverage. <br /> Mr. Fritsinger noted he estimated the 1997 average premium for family health insurance coverage .. <br /> to be $394 per month and the premium for family dental coverage to be $44 per month. <br /> Mayor Probst suggested the Pay Plan be approved and the insurance premiums be tabled for further I <br /> discussion. <br /> Councilmember Malone asked if the Pay Plan was within the linear line. I <br /> Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Pay Plan was in compliance using DOER software. He stated he would I <br /> verify the linear line. <br /> MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded to approve the 1997 Pay Plan as submitted by I <br /> Staff and ask Staff to reconsider and recommend the amount to be contribnted to <br /> health insurance premiums for non-union employees. Motion carried unanimously I <br /> (5-0). <br /> F. Resolution #96-71, Ordering Abatement of 1900 Edgewater I <br /> Mr. Fritsinger indicated Resolution #96-71 is for action to address the State Statute requirements for <br /> prosecuting a hazardous nuisance abatement at 1900 Edgewater A venue. In October of 1996, the I <br /> City initiated review of the property and the City Council adopted Resolution #96-59 at its October <br /> 15, 1996 City Council meeting addressing the abatement of 1900 Edgewater A venue.
