<br />City Council Minutes <br />August 26, 1991 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Holmgren and Dietz both stated they did not feel comfortable wi th a <br />3.5% wage increase at this time. <br /> <br />Additional discussion took place on an employee request for a change in <br />the pay resolution as it relates to payment for employee insurance. <br />Lori Johnson informe~ the Council that she had received a request to <br />allow employees with single coverage to have the option of a cash <br />payment to be used to pay for insurance paid by their spouse. Lori <br />Johnson indicated that there may he negative impacts on the group <br />policy if this was approved. She further indicated that the current <br />insurance company would allow only ten percent of the group to refuse <br />coverage. Because the City could not limit the number of employees <br />using this option, it would be extremely difficult to allow such an <br />option. This was discussed by the Council and it was the consensus to <br />deny this type of activity because it could affect the insurance <br />coverage due to the amount of employees that may be interested in this <br />type of benefit. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />COUNCItMEMBER HOLMGREN MOVED ADOPT ITEM #8 IN THE 1992 COMPENSATION <br />PLAN EXHIBIT 1 WHICH INDICATED THE FOLLOWING: ALL HEALTH INSURANCE <br />BENEFITS OFFERED IN 1991 WILL AGAIN BE OFFERED IN 1992.
