BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the Boards of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West and Omni
Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agencies ("CRAs") approve and adopt the attached Joint
Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to renew the CRAB' group health insurance coverage with
Neighborhood Health Partnership, Inc. ("NHP") for calendar year 2009, at an annual cost 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
CRAs' employee group health insurance policy is provided by NHP and will expire on January 1, 2009. Quotes
were solicited from Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, and NHP. 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 $36,048.60 for 2009 and provides an additional $8,951.40 to cover any new employees or those uncovered
employees who may elect to join the plan.
FUNDING: $45,000 from General Operating Funds, "Life, Health and Dental Insurance," Account Code No.
10030.920101.523000.0000.00000.
