MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 24, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Employee Benefit Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:

For Council Consideration
The City Council should consider providing direction on 2023 Employee Benefits selection.
Background
The City received notice regarding its benefit increases for 2023, the City’s current carrier PEIP is
anticipating a 50 percent increase in its premiums (note, the union’s insurance is expecting a 6 or 7
percent increase). Following this news, the City requested its benefit consultant obtain quotes for
other options in 2023. Below is a current break down of what the City pays and what the employee
pays. Note, the below table does not reflect Union rates as they are on a different plan, per their
contract they receive the same amounts as non-union employees. Their current premium is $1,345
and the City pays $1,216, leaving the union employee responsible for $130. Staff will need Council
feedback on this to alert carriers of the decision and work the numbers into the draft budget.
Page 2 of 2
The City received three quotes for insurance renewal with the least expensive being Health
Partners; staff is also including an option to move all of staff onto the union’s plan. Below is a
summary of the potential cost impacts associated with the different options (these cost impacts also
include Dental Insurance which has a 4.1% increase).
Attached are the breakdown of costs and contributions for each of the proposed options. To
determine City contribution amounts for the “PEIP Renewal” option, staff used the breakdown we
currently have in place. It should be noted that under the PEIP renewal option, the City share of the
non-union premium is high enough that the union employees would not have an employee share.
For the Health Partners option, it is similar in that single employees are covered for health and
dental at 100% and families pay a flat fee of either $300 or $364 depending on the dental option
they choose. For the 49er’s plan option, a proposed flat rate of $250 across the board for each
employee.
Lastly, if Health Partners is the option selected, another cost savings measure would be to allow
employees that have coverage via a spouse, the option to waive City coverage. This would save the
City the cost of the premium for that particular employee; it should be noted that other cities that
offer this option may pay the employee a monthly lump sum (i.e. $300). The savings to the City is
the difference between the lump sum and what the premium would have been.
Budget Impact
Any of the options presented will have a budget increase for 2023, the current draft budget for
2023 had a 6.5 percent increase over 2022 for health insurance and a 3.0 percent increase for dental
insurance. Once direction is given, staff can work the numbers into the budget for discussion in
November.

*The family Deductible is the maximum amount that a family has to pay in deductible expenses in any one calendar year. The family Deductible is not the amount of expenses a family must incur before any family
member can receive benefits. Individual family members only need to satisfy their individua l deductible once to be eligible for benefits. Once the family Deductible has been met, deductible expenses for the family ar e
waived for the balance of the year.
**The family Out-of-Pocket Maximum is the maximum amount that a family has to pay in any one calendar year. The per-family member embedded Out-of-Pocket Maximum is the maximum amount that a family has
to pay in any one calendar year on behalf of any individual family member.
