M0U--N-DtSVVfE-W City of Mounds View Staff Report Item No: 8.G. Meeting Date: October 25, 2021 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resources Coordinator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9482, Authorizing A Joint Powers Agreement for Group Employee Benefits and Other Financial and Risk Management Services with National Joint Powers Alliance (Sourcewell) Background: The City is required to market our health insurance every five years per statute. For plan year 2022, health insurance for benefit eligible employees will be through the Sourcewell Health Insurance Pool, the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). Discussion: North Risk Partners, our insurance broker, received six health insurance bids. After comparing services and rates, staff selected Sourcewell as they offered the widest features for the best pricing, plus a guaranteed rate cap for the second year. In order to participate with the program and advance towards the 2022 open enrollment process, Sourcewell requires a signed Joint Powers Agreement JPA. The JPA is to be signed by both the Mayor and the City Administrator. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create a culture where employees desire to work. Consider competitive benefits and other HR programs that are competitive with other cities and governmental organizations. Financial Impact: None. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9482, Authorizing a Joint Powers Agreement for Group Employee Benefits and Other Financial and Risk Management Services with National Joint Powers Alliance (Sourcewell). Respectfully submitted, Rayla Sue Ewald Human Resources Coordinator Attachment 1: Resolution 9482 Attachment 2: Exhibit A - Joint Powers Agreement for Group Employee Benefits (NJPA/Sourcewell) The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
