Today as part of our scope of services with NFP, they have been facilitating the <br />notification and administration of COBRA coverage for employees when they leave the City. There <br />are specific rules and regulations for COBRA which are above and beyond the nuances of benefits <br />coverage. Therefore, NFP has selected a partnering company called Benefits Extra that can be used <br />by their clients for administering COBRA benefit coverage and eligibility. NFP has confirmed an <br />agreement with Benefits Extra to administer COBRA for us would be at zero cost to the City and <br />that there in turn is no increase in any City costs for using NFP to offset this. <br /> <br />At their December meeting, the Personnel Committee reviewed this matter and recommended staff <br />bring forth an agreement for City Council approval. The City Attorney has reviewed the draft <br />agreement (Attachment A) and has no additional comments for Council consideration prior to <br />approval. The agreement with Benefits Extra would be effective upon City Council approval. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />None as costs of services are to be paid for by NFP. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />Attachment A: Agreement with Benefits Extra
