Regular Council Meeting 2-17-97 Page 8 Mr. Ferrante, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an ordinance to be read on three separate occasions. Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Rules Suspended Mr. Ferrante, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to enact Ordinance No. 97-08. Mr. Fenante said he would like to have a report on what it will cost us for the hospitalization increase. Mr. Brett will get information to Mr. Ferrante. DF. Parker said a 12% increase in hospita.lization is high and asked if we did any comparative shopping. He hasn't seen any increase like that in the large organizations he has worked with. Mr. Brett said hospitalization was a main point in the police negotiations. When they met with the FOP, concessions on both sides were given up. One of the concessions given up by the Village was not to make a change in the insurance. Mr. Brett suggested the hospitalization be passed as it is now-since they have the option of passing it on a month-to-month basis. It would be beneficial to have a Health Care Task Force meet and discuss the health care situation. Couneil President Fixler said this is allowing us a month to month situation now, then we can look at other situations. Mr. Brett said the two [FOP contract and hospitalization insurance legislation] are interdependent.
