Health Insurance —The City currently provides a health insurance program for the City"s employee
through HealthPartners. The health insurance contract is currently set to renew on January 1, 2014.
However, after consultation with our health insurance agent, it is expected the health insurance rates
will increase significantly on January 1, 2014. By moving the renewal date back by one month to
December 1, 2013, we believe the City will lock in better premium rates for the following twelve month
period. In effect, the City will be delaying, what is projected to be significant, health premium cost
increases by eleven months.
We believe it is in the best interest of the City to change the renewal date to December 1, 2013.
