<br /> 4. STAFF REPORTS <br /> A Agreement with TLC Administrators to provide administration for the City's self-funded <br /> dental plan, presented by representatives of staff's self-directed Benefits Improvement <br /> Team. (304) <br /> REPORT: Human Resources Director Rivera-Pena, October 21,1996 <br /> Firefighter Rick Kehr and Human Resources Employee Benefits Coordinator Arlene <br /> Dobson presented the staff report and described the City's Benefits Improvement Team <br /> history and members: Juan Garcia, Sally Sheehan and Maureen Riordan from SEIU, <br /> Officer Steve Blanc from POA, Sgt. Clay Stringer from PSA, Library Supervisor Linda <br /> Hedges and Police Supervisor Ward Hayter from RCMEA <br /> Using overhead slides Firefighter Kehr listed the goals set by the Team: Compare <br /> marketplace benefits; reduce administrative work and costs; obtain the best possible <br /> coverage; create one standard of coverage for ALL City employees; limit cost increases. <br /> Current dental benefits and proposed changes were described and a comparative analysis <br /> presented between Delta Dental and TLC Administrators. <br /> Firefighter Kehr described how the Team's recommendation to contract with TLC would <br /> stabilize administrative costs, establish comparability and equity, reduce waste and create a <br /> win/win for the City and its employees. Firefighter Kehr said the enhanced benefits would <br /> result in a cost increase of $8,600 per year for the first three years, but would provide an <br /> additional $1,487,200 in benefits per year. <br /> City Manager Everett praised the accomplishments of the Team with its citywide <br /> representation. In response to Council questions, Firefighter Kehr said the City's <br /> Deferred Compensation programs were next on the list for the Benefit Improvement Team <br /> to review. <br /> MIS: LEIPZIGILA BERGE.
