The City joined CBIZ's Alliance with the intent of securing volume discounts. <br />Over the years, CBIZ's Alliance has dwindled in size and, in addition, the current carrier is no <br />longer offering volume discounts to alliances. Human Resources Manager Reed Kone <br />recommended that Ochs, Inc be appointed the City's new agent of record for life and disability <br />insurance. Ochs and the League of Minnesota Cities partner to offer life, disability and long <br />term care insurance to Minnesota cities and counties. The partnership is known as the <br />"Municipal Pool" and provides benefits to more than 20,000 members. Ochs is an insurance <br />broker and administrator for the Municipal Pool. <br />Personnel Committee / August 26, 2008 <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
