Winton and Members of the CRA Board From: Fran 1 K. Rollason Executive Director Date: January 20, 2006 File 05-01557 Subject: Ratifying Renewal of Employee Group Medical Coverage with Neighborhood Health Partnership References: Enclosures: Supporting Documentation: Legislation RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board of Directors of both the Southeast Overtowri/Park West (SEOPW) and Omni Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs) approve the attached Joint Resolution ratifying the actions of the Executive Director in renewing the agreement with the CRAs' existing Health Care provider, Neighborhood Health Partnership (NHP), for the 2006 calendar year in an amount not to exceed $36,000.00 which reflects no increase over the approved amount for the 2005 calendar year. JUSTIFICATION: Pursuant to SEOPW/CRA Resolution No.R-03-89 and Omni /CRA Resolution No. R-03-58, adopted on October 27, 2003, the employee fringe benefits package offers medical coverage to full-time CRA employees. The existing policy for the CRA employee group coverage provided by NHP would have expired on January 1, 2006. In order for the CRA employees to be able to maintain their same physicians, the administration has opted to renew the contract with NHP even though the difference in price is $362.48 more per month than the lowest quote received based on the same employees being covered in 2006 as in 2005. The proposed Resolution funds presently covered employees for a total of $28,385.52 for 2006 an additional $7,614.48 to cover additional employees that may be hired or elect to be covered. The slightly higher monthly premium provides a lower employee PCP co -pay, a lower Specialist co -pay, a significantly tower Hospital co -pay ($250 as compared to $600), and a lower Emergency Room co -pay as well as a significantly lower cost for prescribed drugs. FUNDING SOURCE: $38,000.00 from General Operations TIF Account No. 689004.550011.6.130 entitled Group Insurance Contribution FKRIeh
