INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Marc D. Sarnoff Date: February 1, 2010 File: 10-00144
and Members of the CRA Board
From: James H. Villacort/Li
Executive Director
Subject: Resolution Authorizing Renewal of
the CRAs' Group Health insurance
Coverage.
References:
Enclosures: Supporting Documentation; Legislation
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, Inc. ("NHP") for the calendar
year 2010, at an amount not to exceed $100,000.
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
CRAB' employee group health insurance policy is provided by NHP and expired on January 1, 2009. Quotes
were solicited from Aetna, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, and NHP. Though Aetna offered a slightly
lower premium, renewing with the existing provider affords better coverage and allows CRA employees to
maintain their current physicians. The proposed Joint Resolution funds the presently covered employees at an
approximate cost of $80,000 for 2010 and provides an additional $20,000 to cover any new employees or those
uncovered employees who may elect to join the plan.
FUNDING: $100,000 from General Operating Funds, "Life, Health, and Dental Insurance," Account Code No.
