Minutes of the Organizational Meeting of CounciT Monday, January 12, 2015 Page 12 Mr. Diemert replied, a modification. We have not finalized the Agreement all together. That's what we are looking at now. Ms. Wolgamuth replied, we signed the original agreement for the $29,400. Mr. Diemert replied, it would be a modification or amendment. It would be a change order. Council President Buckholtz asked, any questions? There were none. FINANCE 2015 Support for Finance and Payroll Systems (Creative 1VIicrosystems, Iixc. - $6,392) Mr. Wynne reported, Creative Microsystems is the company we use to provide us with customer service support and software updates for our Finance and Payroll systems. The charge for 2015 is $6,392 which is a 5% increase over last year's number of $6,090. We have been using them for 20 years now. Annual fee for health insurance consultant (Chapman & Chapman, Imc. -$14,400) Mr. Wynne reported, we had a three year agreement with them that expired at the end of last year. They are our insurance consultants for our benefit plan. They work with us when we want to go to market by going to carriers to get bids. They handle phone calls for our employees who have issues with claims with their coverage and help them get those resolved with the insurance carriers and they also help with our health and wellness fair we do here every year. This $14,400 price is a 51 % reduction of what we have been paying for the past three years. We have been paying $29,580. I pretty much sat down with them and went over the service they provided and the frequency of the service they provided and felt this was the number they would have to meet in order to continue to do business with us and they agreed to do that. Council President Buckholtz asked, you went over the contract? Mr. Wynne replied, we sat down and reviewed the services they provide and how frequently that provide it. I felt the $29,580 was excessive for what we were getting. I gave them a number and said if you meet that, we could probably continue to work with you and they agreed to meet it if Council approves it. Mr. Marrie stated, good for you. Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan - 2015 Mr. Wynne reported, this is part of our plan with the County. We have two plans with deductibles, one has $250 single/$500 family and the other plan has a high deductible of $2,000 single/$4,000 family. As part of the terms of our collective bargaining agreements and the wage and benefits ordinance, we make contributions to this medical expense reimbursement plan to the employees to help cover those deductibles. Last year, the funding was $174,750. This year it
