Motion declared
Director of Finance Egeberg, Director of Human Resources
& Services Merriman, and Mr. Ted Reese of Corporate
Benefit Consul tan ts, reviewed the City's policy regarding
health insurance for retired City employees; retirees are
able to retain the City's insurance regardless of age or
utilization of the heal th plan's benefits; the major
component of the health care program to examine is the
cost differential in the use of prescription drugs.
Mrs. Linda Laffey, 1888 Fargo Avenue, vice president of
the Retired Employees Association, addressed the
Committee of the Whole and detailed the concerns of the
retirees; many meetings have been held on this matter but
nothing is getting done.
Following discussion, it was agreed that a meeting be
held with all parties, regarding health insurance
premiums for retired City employees, on Wednesday,
November 13, 2002 at 9:00 a.m. in Room 101 of City Hal l,
and this matter be placed on the agenda for November 1 8,
2002.
A general discussion was held on the funding for the July
4th Parade and Festivities; if $8, 500 is added to the
currently proposed budget amount of $7,500, that would be
sufficient to pay the fireworks display contract for
2003; any remaining cost for the parade and festivities
would have to be covered by donations.
Moved by Brookman, seconded by Smith, that the matter of
funding for the July 4th Parade and Festivities be HELD
for discussion during the upcoming budget hearings and
this matter be placed on the agenda for November 18,
2002. Motion declared carried.
