DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />1. Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) <br /> <br />Finance Director DeJong reviewed the proposal contained in council’s packet for the use of an alternate <br />carrier for the PFML leave. He explained that it was a new program operated by the State of Minnesota <br />with funding of 0.88% of payroll deductions for each employee starting in 2026. Employers have the <br />option of choosing a private insurer rather than using the state program. <br /> <br />Finance Director DeJong explained that if the alternative carrier was chosen money could be saved since <br />their rate is .85%. He stated that it was likely that the program would run more smoothly than the State <br />of Minnesota’s since the private sector carrier is Shelter Point and recommended by the city’s insurance <br />carrier AT Group. <br /> <br />2. Budget <br /> <br />Finance Director DeJong reviewed the 2026 budget contained in council’s packet and stated that it <br />encompasses changes to personnel costs, contractual expenses, and other costs. He stated that staff had <br />also updated estimates of revenue based on recent history. <br /> <br />
