The city is self insured and covers 196 employees and total coverage is for about 600 people. The employees pay 10% and the City pays 90% of the premiums. This is a yearly endeavor looking for a company who would handle our claims. As a side note the City is expecting above average increase this year due to the fact that we have had significant claims over the last three years.

As mentioned in discussion of 2013-75, Civil Service is looking to do testing for Police and Fire. The agreement with Poly-Tech was 2 years or $25,000.00 (which ever comes first). With the testing that has been done, the city is close to the $25,000.00 mark and the anticipated new testing will take us over that mark.
