„ti RESOLUTION NUMBER 49-76 APPEARS ON PAGE 80 OF ORDINANCE & RESOLUTION BOOK V
r
at, EMPLOYEE'S FAMILY PLAN INSURANCE
It In regard to a proposal accepted at the September 21 meeting which 259.3
provided increased cost participation by the City in the family health insurance
premiums, Mayor Orton preferred delaying implementation of the plan until other
alternatives could be considered. Director Hughes did not believe that a delay
in implementation would be beneficial .
Mayor Orton believed those funds resulting from a premium savings should be 259.4
partially used to increase retirement benefits rather than using all of the funds
to provide more health insurance benefits.
Following discussion, Director Hughes, seconded by Todd, moved to place an 259.5
III item on the next regular agenda to consider reconsideration of the issue,provided
additional or new information is made available which would justify reconsideration.
The recorded vote was:
"Ayes": Collier, Todd, Noland, Hughes, Orton
"Nays": None
Absent: Purdy, Lancaster
The motion was declared passed.
