Present at this meeting were the following: 1) Personnel Committee Councilman Arnie Cox Councilman Gary Reimann 2) Others in attendance: City Administrator Lloyd Schnelle Building Official Clayton Berg The purpose of this meeting was to cover areas pertaining to personnel nran- agement, etc. within the City Personnel structure. The following items were discussed at this meeting: 1) Police Overtime and Police Reserve Program The Chief of Police was unable to attend this meeting, however, he did sub- mit a written report covering the subject matter. The Personnel Committee thought the Chief was taking the right approach in recruiting officers for the Police Reserve. They were also satisfied with the overtime explanation that was covered in the report. It should be noted that the Chief of Police report is enclosed as enclosure (1) to these minutes. 2) Health Insurance The Personnel Committee reviewed the City's health insurance plan as to what the current plan is costing the City versus what the Hennepin County Health Insurance plan would cost the City. The following background infor- mation was supplied to the Personnel Committee: a) Enclosure (~_) City's current monthly coverage costs through Mutual Service Insurance (City share) b) Enclosure (~) contains what neighboring community costs are for health insurance plans. c) Enclosure (~) contains the health insurance plans and costs offered through Hennepin County purchasing.' d) Enclosure (~) which is contained under separate cover gives a complete breakdown on Hennepin County's different health in- surance plans. The Personnel Committee reviewed the total plan offered through Hennepin County purchasing and recommended that Council shouldconsider their plan because it allows the employees to pick from four different health groups. Further, the Personnel Committee recommended that the City's share should be set at $60,00 per employee. The Personnel Committee also noted that the Hennepln County group plans would be cheaper for the City and the employees would have better coverage.
