(Finance Department) <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Jerome, made a motion to authorize expenditure in the amount of <br />$122,630 to the Bureau of Workers' Compensation for 2018 yearly assessment. (Finance <br />Department) <br />Council President Saponaro asked, discussion? <br />Mr. Wynne stated, our Workers' Compensation premium for this year, 2017, was $111,747. The <br />reason for the increase is two-fold. It's a premium that is based upon wages so it reflects any <br />increase in wages as well as what we incurred during the year. Also, we had a couple of claims <br />that we incurred in 2014 which impacts our rates and will be for the next several years until they <br />cycle out. By approving this tonight, we can pay this on January 2nd and take advantage of a 2% <br />payment discount that the Bureau is offering. <br />Council President Saponaro asked, any other discussion? <br />Mr. Jerome stated, I don't know if you looked at any other ways to reduce that rate. I know <br />some of it involves time. I don't know if it is worth the time to attend seminars and such. I don't <br />know if you have looked into any of those or have done any of those.
