Just a note to summarize the meeting members of the Claims and Account committee, the Finance Committee Chairman and the Fiscal Officer had yesterday at noon. As you will remember Joe Abernathy and I discussed employee disability and life insurance with you. . The meeting we had yesterday was a follow-through on our original meet. The above members listened to representatives of the Colonial Life and Accidnet Ins . Co. , who presented a plan for the above insurance to Councilmen present. The plan would: 1) involve no taxpayer funds at all 2) be administered on a non-exclusive basis 3) provide for disability at home or in hospital 4) pay up to $20,000.00 life insurance for loss of life in specific instances for qualified employees 5) provide coverage on and off job 6) apply in addition to Blue Cross and any other insurance Councilman present agreed that no report of the meeting would be made at the upcoming council meeting but would be made at the first meeting in March (4th.) so that the company representative could explain the proposal to all present. Because no tax funds are involved and because any other company can make a similar competitive proposal the Councilmen felt it is not necessary to send out bids on the proposal. We have granted such approvals to contact City Employees in the past. State agencies are administering the same plan here in Jefferson City as is Columbia, Boone County and other counties surrounding us , 89 ___ _ � _Regular Council Meeting, __March 4, .1968 While other cities are permitting a cover letter introducing the company representative to be printed on a reproduction of the City letterhead, Councilmen felt this is an administrative decision and would appreciate your thinking on this point .
