kli:- /0 <br /> IIITO: Mayor & Council <br /> FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director - Treasurer <br /> DATE: July 11, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: Participation in the Local Government Information <br /> Systems(LOGIS) Health Care Group <br /> The LOGIS Health Care Group is a consotium of governmental units <br /> that have joined together to cooperatively provide employee <br /> benefit programs to its members. At the present time <br /> approximately 5,000 employees of various governmental units, <br /> mostly in Hennepin County, are served by the Group. Membership ' <br /> in the group is open to any governmental unit in the State of <br /> Minnesota and there are no membership fees. I strongly urge the <br /> City of Mounds View to consider membership in this group. <br /> The advantages of membership in the Group are diversity of <br /> employee benefit options and cost. By serving a large number of <br /> employees the Group is able to offer many more benefit plans to <br /> employees than the City of Mounds View is able to offer. <br /> Currently the Group offers three health benefits plans, a dental <br /> plan, life insurance, and short time disability insurance. Cost <br /> III of the plans offered is an important consideration also. For <br /> example, Group Health is offered at a cost which is $10 per <br /> employee per month less than our plan from Group Health. Other <br /> plans are also competitively priced. <br /> Should the City wish to become a member of the Group an <br /> application should be submitted now with a Council resolution <br /> that authorizes the City's membership. If accepted health <br /> benefits coverage would become effective January 1, 1990. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Elect to become a member of the LOGIS Health <br /> Care Group. Direct staff to prepare a resolution authorizing <br /> membership in the LOGIS Health Care Group. <br /> DB/hs C: \deptadm\health <br />
