Short Title:
A resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with AvMed, and Metlife, for the City
Employee health, vision and dental plans.
Staff Summary:
The Human Resources Department has worked diligently with the City's Agent of Record, Sapoznik Insurance
and Associates, Inc. to assess the existing group insurance policies and proposed premium rated from other
carriers. Staff is recommending to renew with the current carriers. It is in the best interest of the City to renew
the contract with the AvMed, and Metlife Insurance Companies. This approval is based on staff's analysis of
the proposed services, providers, and costs,
Staff has analyzed the results of the competitive Bid Process for Insurance Carriers facilitated by the City's
current Agent of Records Sapoznik Insurance and Associates. It has been determined that it would be in the
City's best interest to renew the contract with the current carriers.
Sapoznik has successfully negotiated the initial renewal of 5.63 % increase with AvMed to a rate pass for the
current plan. Due to concerns expressed by employees that participate in the health plan, management decided
to invest the anticipated amount budgeted for an increase into enriching the current plan to allow less out of
pocket expenses to the employees. The current AvMed Plan will present a 5.24% increase to the budget.
Metlife provided a rate pass for the renewal of the dental and vision insurance with no increase.
The packet attached documents provide additional quotes and plans received and formal declination letters
from carriers that declined to provide a quote.
Financial Impact - The cost of this plan represents a 5% increase in rates compared to the FY 21 plan. The
proposed FY 22 Budget had provided for a 7% increase. The lower rate will result in a $21,700 savings spread
over the General, Water -Sewer and Stormwater Funds.
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends approval.
Attachment:
Renewal Quote.
