Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, October 21, 2013 <br />Page 4 <br />Mr. Delguyd asked, the zero increase was at the County level, but was there anything specific we <br />did? Are other people getting increased or is it zero percent across the board? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, it was zero percent across the board to all members in the Plan, so for <br />County employees and the other municipalities that are a part of that Plan, everyone got a zero <br />increase. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, do you know how many municipalities are on that Plan? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, I want to say there's about five or six. Word is getting out. I have had three <br />or four Finance Directors from other cities contact me to talk about the Plan. That's something <br />they are starting to look at very seriously, Highland Heights being one of them. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, this was originally rolled out as an on-line thing, where <br />everything was going to be a web portal, is that how we do it? Do you have direct contact with <br />people or are you at the mercy of the website? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, if an individual has a specific issue and they are trying to get it resolved, we <br />have contacts. They can tallc to our insurance consulting firm directly and maintain the one on <br />one privacy aspect they are looking for. That person will work with them.to resolve their issues. <br />The only thing really on-line is the enrollment process. They can track their claims on-line. If <br />you have an issue, they ha.ve someone they can talk to. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, we still maintain our own insurance consultant? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, yes. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, that company has not gone away? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, correct. <br />Council Pr.esident Buckholtz stated, I was very much in favor of #hat project when it was in the <br />developmental stages. <br />POLICE - Chief Edelman <br />Chief Edelman reported, in addition to the agenda items this evening, I wanted to report that our <br />K-9 Leo continues to excel in his drug sniffing duties. He was recently certified in hard surface <br />tracking which as I understand is significantly more difficult than tracking on grass dirt or mud <br />simply by virtue of the material he is trying to locate. About two or three weeks ago he subdued <br />an assault suspect from the Village Park Apartments. The person ran when he saw the police <br />coming and was hiding in the woods behind Heinen's. Leo found him in about 30 seconds. As <br />soon as the dog baxked, the suspect said, "I give up."
