Title

Consider a resolution approving the FY 2023/2024 Self-Funded Health Insurance Budget.

Body

The City uses a self-insurance risk fund to provide health, vision, and dental coverage for employees. The City has used self-insurance to effectively manage costs for these benefits since 1993. The City regularly updates the plan to address the needs of employees and manage costs by reviewing the marketplace and updating the plan design.

The budget for 2023/2024 includes funds to operate the Health Clinic, administer the programs, stop loss/reinsurance, claims, and other insurance related costs. The budget is covered by all employee and employer contributions, stop loss reimbursements, and other revenues available to cover expenses. Reserves for post-employment employee insurance continue to be met with the proposed budget.

For 2023/2024, the City will contribute $1,100 for the Choice plan or $1,131  for the EPO Choice plan per covered employee per month. These costs are included in the department budgets and reflected in the FY 2024 budget adopted by Council on September 14, 2023. Staff will continue to closely monitor claims and program costs during the next year.
