� _1A a <br />MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br />FROM: ML%RY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />DATE: JULY 7, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: FLEXIBLE BENEFITS PLAN <br />At the March Employee Relations Committee meeting, employees <br />expressed an interest in pursuing a Flexible Benefits Plan. Staff <br />approached council on this request at the April 18 agenda session. <br />Council was receptive to consideration of a proposal and directed <br />the Employee Relations Committee to look into programs and come to <br />the council with a proposal. The committee requested Dols Brager and <br />myself to interview zompanies and report back with a recommendation. <br />Two companies were interviewed: Bill Oches from the _ <br />Minnesota State Deferred Compensation Plan and Janet McCune from <br />DCA, Inc. DCA, Inc. was chosen because they provide an excellent <br />educational/informational program for the employees and the fees <br />are less costly for administration and set-up costs. <br />Ms. Janet McCune met with the Employee Relations Committee on July <br />7, 1988 to review the program. Thosc present were: Kim Herman, <br />Mary Tatarek, Kitty Hickok, Tim Pittman, Mike Ulrich, Tim Ramacher, <br />Don Brager and myself. It was the unanimous opinion of this group <br />that the program would be a beneficial opportunity for most <br />employees. The committee agreed to have a representative from each <br />department to meet with the council along with Ms. Janet McCune of <br />DCA Inc. to recommend the program to the council at the August 1 <br />agenda session. <br />The plan offered through DCA, Inc. will be explained by Ms. Janet <br />McCune at the meeting. A slide tape presentation will be used as an <br />information tool. The Employee Relations Committee will be present <br />to participate in discussion of this program. <br />MS/SL <br />
