Discuss Retiree Insurance premiums <br /> Aaron stated he wanted the retiree premiums to be adjusted so that an employee, who meets all other <br /> requirements to qualify for retiree medical coverage, and has 30 years of service to the City of La Porte will <br /> retire paying the active employee /dependent rate for medical coverage at the time of their retirement. Martha <br /> and Matt stated their recollection of the changes made to the Retiree Medical Coverage policy that took effect <br /> January 1, 2006 were suppose to reflect this exactly and somehow it was never noted; and that the intent of <br /> Council was 30 year employees who are eligible for retiree medical coverage would pay the active employee <br /> rate and not 10% of the City's cost in addition to 100% of the dependent premiums. The Committee was in <br /> agreement but asked Heather to do a cost analysis and the Committee would meet again to discuss further. <br /> 5.
