Council pulled <br />it from the consent agenda requesting additional information. <br /> <br />Subsequent to speaking with Carmen Hokeness, Account Manager, Cigna Behavioral she <br />explained that for 2005 they have chosen to re-arrange the fee schedule for Minnesota <br />clients similar to that of telephone companies where residents in urban areas subsidize <br />those in rural areas. Ms. Hokeness stated that she has suggested to her employer that they <br />will be loosing a lot of business doing this and anticipates that the City will be <br />withdrawing from participation in their program. I requested that Ms. Hokeness provide <br />me with information regarding the usage of their programs for the previous year. Ms. <br />Hokeness reported that not one (1) employee from the City utilized their services in 2004. <br /> <br />Upon further research, the renewal fee for the year 2004 was $1.92/month for eight <br />employees equaling $184.32 for the program. <br />
