Because the bill did not have language addressing tagging of boxes the committee sent the bill to full <br />Council with no recommendation upon proper motions by Dr. David Varner and Derek Dieter <br />unanimously supported. <br />Council Attorney Kathy Cekanski - Farrand and Ann -Carol Nash said they would draft amended language <br />to require the informational tags on boxes by the evening meeting. <br />The last item on the agenda was an update from the City Administration on the employee healthcare <br />plan. <br />City Controller John Murphy made introductory remarks while providing a handout. (Attached) <br />The handout was explained by Margaret Hartsough and Miguel Salazar, both from Gibson insurance <br />which designed and administers the City plan. Specific costs and trends along with year to year trends <br />were reviewed and are in the attachment. In general the folks from Gibson said like everywhere else <br />costs were going up. They said it now costs the City $11,050 annually per employee to offer the plan <br />benefits. In an effort to maintain benefits while controlling costs the Gibson representatives said they <br />worked with the City to a rewards based plan. In other words costs for the plan for employees would be <br />reward based. More participation, better outcomes, & lower costs. <br />Questions and comments from Councilmembers focused on the "rewards" component of the plan. In <br />the interest of time Valerie Schey, said the Gibson representatives would be invited back for an <br />additional presentation in the near future. <br />Valerie Schey adjourned at 5:02 P.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, 7 I ✓ ^�Jyn�[/ <br />j <br />I <br />Valerie Schey, Chairperson <br />Personnel & Finance <br />
