SUBJECT: Health Plan
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Office of the County Administrator and the Department of Personnel to develop
and issue a Request for Proposals for an additional health plan for eligible County employees
and retirees.
BACKGROUND
- The 1st Choice Employee Benefits Trust has advised the County Administrator of the
need to increase the premium for the 1st Choice Health Plan by 35% effective
November 1, 1993.
- This level of increase is unacceptable and will result in a financial hardship for the
County, its employees and retirees.
- There are no funds available for this level of increase.
- It is prudent for the County to explore the marketplace to identify options available to
supplement existing County-offered health plans in an effort to meet the health care
needs of its employees and retirees at an affordable rate.
- It is recognized that the County has an obligation to meet and confer with the employee
representatives on the issue of health benefits prior to implementation of a plan for
represented employees.
