,~ity of <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #3.1. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Lori Johnson, Asst. City Administrator/ <br />Finance Director <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />July 13, 1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Health and Dental Insurance Proposals <br /> <br />At the July 6 City Council meeting, the Council requested that <br />Councilmember Dietz meet with city staff to discuss the health and dental <br />insurance proposals for the city's non-union employees. Councilmember <br />Dietz, insurance consultant Barry Rosenberg, and I met on Tuesday, July 7, <br />to discuss the various options and proposals available to the city. <br /> <br />After considerable discussion it was agreed, at this time, that it is most <br />appropriate for the city to continue with a traditional insurance plan and to <br />review options for partial self-funding at sometime in the future when the <br />group's claims experience improves and there is more historical trend <br />information on other groups that have just started self-funding. <br /> <br />A final recommendation on awarding the health and dental contracts is not <br />available at this time as both Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Medica are <br />reviewing their proposals and providing updated information to the city. I <br />will be present at Monday's meeting with the final information necessary to <br />present a recommendation to the Council. Also, Councilmember Dietz will be <br />available to answer any questions the Council may have regarding our <br />meeting. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
