RESOLUTION RELATING TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE JOINT AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT By: Heidi A. Nelson, Asst. City Administrator Background: LOGIS has, since 1988, been administering a group health and medical insurance plan (Plan) for those members who have chosen to participate. LOGIS' legal counsel has advised the Board of Directors that the Agreement should be modified as proposed by the Amendment to clarify LOGIS' authority to conduct and administer the Plan. The amendment also provides that other types of group benefits may be inclUded in the Plan. The attached resolution also ratifies the participation in the Plan by members of the Plan. It is necessary for all members, including those governmental units that have not participated in the Plan, to approve the Amendment. Currently, the City of Ramsey does not participate in the LOGIS group health and medical insurance plan, but is a member of LOGIS. The Joint Powers Agreement can be amended only by a unanimous action of the members. In addition, a new LOGIS Group Health and Life Insurance Policies and Procedures document has been included for your information. It has been revised to include early withdraw penalties should any member leave the group without giving proper notification. Staff Recommendation: Staff is recommending approval of the attached resolution relating to Local Government Information Systems, authorizing the execution and delivery of second amendment to the Joint and Cooperative Agreement. Council Action: By motion, approve of the Resolution No. 02-xx relating to Local Government Information Systems, authorizing the execution and delivery of second amendment to the Joint and Cooperative Agreement.
