(b) The officer's or firefighter's employer shall continue to provide <br />health coverage for: <br /> <br /> (1) the officer or firefighter; and <br /> <br />(2) the officer's or firefighter's dependents if the officer or <br />firefighter was receiving dependent coverage at the <br /> time of the injury under the employer's group health plan. <br /> <br /> (c) The employer is responsible for the continued payment <br /> of the employer's contribution for coverage of the officer or <br /> firefighter and, if applicable, the officer's or firefighter's <br /> dependents. Coverage must continue for the officer or <br /> firefighter and, if applicable, the officer's or firefighter's <br /> dependents until the officer or firefighter reaches the age of <br /> 65. However, coverage for dependents does not have to be <br /> continued after the person is no longer a dependent. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumgart is currently collecting single health care coverage, which costs approximately <br />$342.00 a month. The State of Minnesota has a grant application (copy of application attached) <br />that the City will be submitting to hopefully defer some of this cost. Staff will notify the Council <br />when this grant application is submitted, and the status of approval or disapproval. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends severance payment to Thomas Baumgart in accordance with the current LELS <br />Police Officers Labor Contract in the amount of $5,795.70. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
