Personnel and Finance Committee <br /> June 23, 2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Council Member Aranowski agreed that the Council needs as much information as possible, and <br /> that the departmental information should be shared. <br /> Susan Wallace stated that the City only has a 5 % turnover rate which is resulting in a problem of <br /> an aging work force. The average age of a city worker is 44 years old. <br /> Council Member King suggested that we should also be looking at plan design modifications since <br /> the costs are out of hand. The primary goal should be containing and stopping increases for the <br /> health plan offered by the City. <br /> Council Member Kelly agreed with Council Member King as to the focus of the city's goal, and <br /> there appeared to be a consensus of those present. <br /> Mr. 011ett noted that Memorial may be more expensive, as dual providers are offered as of July 1, <br /> 2003. He noted that meetings with city employees would take place on July 1, 2, 8, and 9 with <br /> representatives of Memorial and St. Joe being present. He noted that the contract with St. Joe <br /> would have expired on December 31, 2003 and now it has been extended until December 31, <br /> 2004. Requests for proposals will be sought next year. <br /> Council Member Aranowski noted that a proposed budget schedule has been filed with the City <br /> Clerk's Office. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Aranowski <br /> adjourned the meeting at 4:33 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member James Aranowski, Chairperson <br /> Personnel and Finance Committee <br /> KCF:kmf <br /> Attachment <br />
