3. Discuss Medical Costs for 2011.
The Board was given an illustration of the Employee Health Services budget and an
illustration of why staff wanted 180 days of working capital in reserves. The group agreed
that the amount of money made requested made sense. Clark wanted to make sure the
General Fund was able to transfer the money and if there was any reserve in any other
account. Michael stated no, the City has drawn down the reserves in the other accounts.
Some of the reserve money went to the Employee Health Services account in previous years
to make up the difference. Martha mentioned that she wanted the City to look for other
alternatives other than increasing employee premiums. She also thought we should leave
the account as is without requesting any money from the General Fund. Heather expressed
we could do that, but it concerned her that next year we would need even more money. The
group came to an agreement that we would request the money to be transferred from the
General Fund.
