Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' responded there were no longer term limits, so she <br />believed this was okay. <br />Motion by Mayor Ramsey, seconded by Councilmember McGlone, to recommend that the City <br />Council accept Ms. Erickson's resignation from the Park and Recreation Commission and to <br />appoint Mr. Shane Bennett to serve the remainder of Ms. Erickson's current term: November 25, <br />2009 through March 31, 2014. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Dehen, Councilmembers Ramsey and McGlone. <br />Voting No: None. <br />Case #2: Consider Approving the 2010 City Health Insurance Contributions for Non - <br />Union Employees <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' reviewed the staff report. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked if this had been figured into the 2010 budget. <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' responded the contributions had been figured into the <br />budget, but contribution levels for the union employees still had to be negotiated. <br />Chairperson Dehen noted at some point people had to understand that when there was health care <br />coverage, somebody had to pay for it and he believed high deductible encouraged caution when <br />going to the doctor, but he was not sure if there was incentive to hold the cost down if the City <br />was contributing to it. <br />Councilmember McGlone asked if it was common that an employer contributes to a deductible. <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' responded in the public sector it was very common. <br />Councilmember McGlone asked if the City had thought outside the box and had looked at other <br />options. <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' responded the City last went out to bid for 2008/2009 <br />and staff had also looked at self -insuring, but the group was too small for self-insurance. <br />Mayor Ramsey asked what the deadline was for a decision. <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone' responded she anticipated open enrollment in December <br />and she wanted to make sure staff knew about the plans so they had knowledge about which plan <br />they wanted to choose. <br />Mayor Ramsey responded he was concerned that the Committee had not had the chance to look <br />at the amended case before tonight's meeting. He stated he did not like the numbers. <br />Personnel Committee / November 24, 2009 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />
