CM <br /> OF REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 11. <br /> 111176 <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: 9 5-1 2 R9C <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE April 3, 1995 Report Date: 3-29-95 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Update on Employee Insurance Alternatives <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: :-`" <br /> - No comments to supplement this report ►1 ? <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement s1i ets"as necessary.) <br /> At the March, 1995 Council Worksession, staff presented Council with information on an <br /> alternative plan for employee health, dental and life insurance coverage. The information <br /> included a comparison of the benefits City employees currently receive to a new plan called <br /> Public Employees Insurance Program (PEIP), and a breakdown of the new rates and resulting <br /> cost savings that would be realized by the City and employees with dependent coverage. <br /> Since then, detailed information and presentations were given to all City employees informing <br /> them of the implications of changing insurance providers. <br /> After presenting all of the information to City employees and listening to comments about the <br /> options, the scenario that would offer the greatest benefit to all is to change health care groups <br /> from LOGIS to PEIP, stay with the existing dental arrangement, which is to continue to contract <br /> directly with HealthPartners and to contract directly with Commercial Life, our current provider, <br /> for life insurance. <br /> A meeting is scheduled for April 5 to begin enrolling employees in the new health insurance plan <br /> which would be effective May 1, 1995. <br /> This staff report is provided as an update to this item. <br /> 400019)41 <br /> Tim Cruikshank, Asst.
