Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 11, 2010 Page 12 Human Resources Manager Eldona Bacon briefly reviewed the requested action detailed in the RCA dated October 11, 2010. Discussion included how the proposed plan(s) were underwritten by Health Part- ners, while serving as a self insured public sector pool, offering significant reduc- tions based on individual city client claims, but with premium rates negotiated on the experience averaged across the entire pool of over 33,000 individuals. Ms. Bacon briefly reviewed higher claims for the City's dental coverage, and pro- posed slight increase for all tiers to remain self insured. Ms. Bacon addressed the one additional year remaining on the Long Term Disa- bility and Life Insurance; but addressed recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in- creases to their table ratings for various age groups and subsequent increases for additional life insurance options available to employees. Ms. Bacon reviewed the City's Employee Wellness initiatives for increased pre- ventative care for employees through employee health check -ups, moving from 3.0% to 60 and suggested an additional incentive per from $10 to $25 per em- ployee to provide additional incentive, ultimately reducing the health benefit claims.
