RAver <br /> <br />Item ~ 3.6. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, Finance Director ~ ~~-~ <br /> <br />DATE: July 9, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Request for Proposals for Group Health Insurance <br /> <br />State law requires that the city request proposals for health insurance coverage at least once <br />every 60 months. The patrol union health insurance coverage has not been bid in the past 60 <br />months; therefore, the city will request proposals for coverage for the patrol union's health <br />insurance contract that is to be renewed on October 1, 2001. <br /> <br />This request for proposals does not affect the union contract in anyway because the level of <br />coverage is not proposed to change. The city may change insurance carriers of a collective <br />bargaining unit without its approval as long as the aggregate value of benefits provided by the <br />group insurance contract is not reduced. If the aggregate value of benefits is reduced, the <br />union and employer must agree on the change in benefits. <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />The City Council is asked to authorize the request for proposals for group health insurance <br />for the patrol union. <br /> <br /> <br />
