BACKGROUND:
The attached joint resolution authorizes the Executive Director to renew employee group health care
coverage with the CRAs' existing health care provider, Neighborhood Health Partnership ("NHP"), for the
2008 calendar year in an amount not to exceed $45,000.
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 CRA's employee group health insurance policy is provided by NHP and will expire on
January 1, 2008. Quotes were solicited from Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, and
Neighborhood Health Partnership. Though Blue Cross and Blue Shield offered a slightly lower premium,
renewing with the existing provider allows CRA employees to maintain their current physicians. The
proposed Joint Resolution funds the presently covered employees at a total cost of $31,130.28 for 2008
and provides an additional $13,869.72 to cover any new employees or those uncovered employees who
may elect to join the plan.
FUNDING SOURCE: $45,000 from General Operating Funds, "Life, Health and Dental Insurance," Account
