MEMO:
TO: City Council
FROM: Rick Koch
DATE: May 6, 2011
SUBJECT: City of Kenai Budget FY12 — Employee Health Care Program
The purpose of this correspondence is to submit for your consideration Administration's
proposed changes to the Employee Health Care Program. The changes represent monetary
components of Administration's proposed FY12 Budget.
Before I discuss the specifics of Administration's proposal, I want to identify the goals that
guided the process. My goals are as follows:
Provide a quality health care program for City employees at a reasonable and fair
cost, not only to our employees, but to the citizens of Kenai, the shareholders of our
Municipal Corporation.
Maintain open dialogue with our employees throughout the process so that they are
informed of any changes which may be proposed by Administration.
Encourage Council Members to meet with me to discuss Administration's ongoing
work and provide an opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions.
Identify a logical process in which future increases to health care costs may be
addressed.
Research and examine other Alaskan Municipalities with shared
employee /municipality health care cost systems to assure what is being proposed is
consistent with similar plans.
Support and institute an employee wellness program.
I believe all of the above goals were met and /or surpassed.
That being said, it is important that anyone considering the Administration's proposal to realize
that there is no silver bullet or magic solution to the health care issues the City is facing.
Administration's proposal attempts to present a fair and reasoned solution to a bad (and
expensive) situation. Not everyone will be pleased with the proposed changes, some employees
believe strongly that the individual employee should not pay health care premiums, other
employees believe strongly that all employees should pay health care premiums at some
percentage consistent with the overall premiums. Outside of our employees, I have been
approached by Citizens of Kenai that believe strongly that municipal employees should have to
pay more for their health care.
The cost of health care premium increases absorbed by the City since the last increase to
employee health care premiums, including Administration's P112 proposal (FY06- FY12), is
$603,312.16 or roughly the equivalent of one (1) mill of property tax. The proposed increase in
employee annual premiums over that same time period is proposed to be 562,100.
As was discussed in the Council's budget work session on April 19`h, the financial magnitude of
the premium increase for FY12 requires that a decision on the funding components of
employee health care be determined prior to addressing other areas within the proposed
budget.
As you are aware, Administration had initially included funding in the proposed FY12 budget for
a 15% increase to health care premiums. The initial proposed renewal quote was for a premium
increase of 56 %, that was subsequently reduced to 50 %. Neither of the initial proposed
premium increases included any modifications to the plan benefits.
At approximately 2PM on Wednesday, May 4th the City received the final renewal quote, it
provides for 39.9% increase in premium, increases in deductibles, and increases in maximum
out of pocket limits. An explanation of the changes to plan benefits is provided in the Finance
Director's memorandum to me dated May 6, 2011 (attached exhibit A).
Administration received proposals from four (4) other carriers in addition to the Aetna renewal
quote. After painstaking review, Administration is proposing to maintain coverage through the
Alaska Political Subdivision Plan /Aetna.
The proposed changes are summarized as follows:
All employees participate in payment of premiums. This will require a change to the
Kenai Municipal Code.
Employee premiums are based on a 9% share of the health care premium and self -
insured deductible utilization.
Annual deductible increases are 5100 for an employee, $250 for an employee with
child(ren), $200 for an employee with spouse, and $300 for an employee with
family.
There is no net increase to maximum out of pocket limits.
The City will fund an employee wellness program.
Administration's proposal results in no other modifications to the draft budget document that
was submitted to Council on April 7, 2011. The changes to health care result in the General
Fund projected surplus decreasing from $87,277 to $64,439.
The following are attachments to this document:
Exhibit A — Finance Director Memo
Exhibit 8 —Summary of Historical Costs
Exhibit C — Detailed Comparison of Current Aetna Plan with Proposed Aetna Plan with
9% Employee Share
Exhibit D — Comparison of Employee Health care Costs with Other Alaskan Municipalities
Thank you for your attention in this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at
your convenience.

Thru: Rick Koch, City Manager
Date: May 6, 2011
Re: Employee Health Care Renewal
There have been new developments regarding the FYI2 Health Insurance Renewal since our Last
meeting. Aetna has proposed to reduce the renewal increase from 50% to 39.9% in exchange for
changes in coverage. Under Aetna's proposal employee deductibles would increase from $1,500
individual /$3,000 family to $2,000 individual and $4,000 family. Also the maximum out of
pocket (at plan participating hospitals) would increase from $2,500 individual /$5,000 family to
$3,000 individual /$6,000 family.
The City has also received prices from four other carriers interested in the City's business.
Premera, Oregon Dental Services (ODS), CIGNA, and Alaska Public Utility Trust (APUIT).
Quotes from Premera, ODS, and CIGNA were for high deductible plans similar to the City's
current plan. Rates quoted by Premera, ODS, and CIGNA are not competitive with the Aetna
renewal rates at a 39.9% increase,
With an increase in deductible and maximum out of pocket by the same amount there is
opportunity for the City to self-insure for both. By the City increasing the employee medical
deductibles and eliminating the reimbursement for up to three dental deductibles, the total health
care deductible increased from $200 individual, $400 employee with spouse or children, and
$450 family, to $300 individual, $600 employee and spouse, $650 employee and children and
$700 family and self-insuring for the remaining deductible increase, the maximum employee out
of pocket (for both deductible and co -pay) will increase from $1,200 to $1,300 for an individual,
from $2,400 to $2,600 for an employee and spouse, from $2,400 to $2,600 for an employee with
children (calculated using a employee and two children), and from $2,400 to $2,650 for a family
(calculated using a family size of four).
Also included in the latest recommendation is plans to fund an employee wellness program that
will include financial incentives for employees to exercise and see their doctor regularly.
Employees and their spouses each have the opportunity to eam $275 per year in cash incentives
that can be applied to their portion of heath care costs. The wellness program is expected to cost
$20,060 in the first year and $17,060 in subsequent years and is being proposed to be fully
funded by the City.

Gabriel
Staff present: C, Freas, M. Joiner, M. Bonduran.t, M. Kebschull, K. Stearns, B.
Plates, K. Lyon, R. Craig, J. Dye, R. Koch. T. Eubank
Mayor Porter called the work session together at 6:00 p.m. City Manager Koch
thanked the City Attorney, City Clerk and staff for their efforts in producing the
budget document and noted, the budget had to be recalculated after receiving notice of
a large increase to health care costs.
ITEM 1: OVERVIEW
Finance Director Eubank presented an overview of the draft budget, provided a
handout of his presentation and a memorandum indicating changes from the FY 2011
budget, etc.
ITEM 2: AGENDA REVIEW
2 -a. Changes to Health Care
A lengthy discussion took place related to health care costs and the proposed plan
submitted by Administration, i.e. a three- pronged approach of the employee monthly
premium, employee deductible, and unutilized self - insurance refund. Koch and
Eubank reviewed the differences between the current plan and proposed plan.
Comments included:
• Some employees understood and were acceptable of the proposed plan,
others were not.
• Concern employees felt the proposed plan was declared to be what would
be.
• Suggestion a secret ballot vote could be taken of employees to know
really how they felt about the proposed plan.
• The proposed plan would be the equivalent of a $2,000 loss to each
employee in a take - home -pay perspective and without notification to the employee,
could make budgeting very difficult or an extreme financial hardship for some
employees; suggested the City pay more this year and move into a new health care
plan more gradually.
• Increases in health care costs not unique to the City of Kenai.
• Concern in asking the employees to double their premiums which was
done the last time the cost of health insurance increased; felt the City needed to
balance the costs if this was going to be the trend; this would be a hardship to some of
the lower paid employees; and, felt it was unfair.
• No objection to eliminate the unutilized self- insurance refund.

Belief employees need to share in some of the costs, but would like to
look at a less burdensome plan,
Review of increases in the plans followed. It was noted, if the plan changed to require
employees to pay a portion of their health care, an amendment would be required to
KIM 23,40.120.
Discussion continued, with comments including:
Did not like that an employee did not pay for health insurance.
The Borough's health plan did not charge the employee for health care.
A comparison of some private sector wages was provided.
• With the one percent COLA planned this year, employees would be
taking more responsibility for costs. Next year, a larger COLA would probably be given
and employees would be better able to handle a health insurance increase.
• Suggestion to take back the unutilized self - insurance refund and do a
lesser increase to see how it would affect employees before deciding on health care.
• Removing the unutilized self- insurance refund would stilt be a loss of
income to employees; would favor the City taking the brunt of the cost this year; and,
the proposed plan would be a big change from how the City had taken care of its
employees for a long time.
• An amendment to the Code would be required to charge the employee a
fee for health insurance. Approval of the plan by Council at this point would be
premature.
• Belief the proposed plan was acceptable.
Felt when doubling the premium, there would be a risk the City would
drive employees away and, attended one of the meetings with employees and felt the
tenor of the presentation was the plan choice was not negotiable.
• Stated support of Administration's proposal.
• The State and Etna were still negotiating the renewal. Suggested Council
set a target of cost to work toward.
BREAK TAKEN: 7:50 P.M.
BACK TO ORDER: 8:00 P.M.
Public Comments:
Mike Navarre -- Health. Care: Cost of insurance takes away from community needs.
Boys & Girls Club: Requested City's financial support for the Kenai Clubhouse;
encouraged renegotiating the Recreation Center management agreement; reviewed
changes made to lessen their operating costs, i.e. raising fees, cut hours at the Center,
cut staff, etc.; the funding request was for the Kenai Clubhouse.
Jennifer Beckman, CARTS Executive Director -- Requested a $5,000 donation
toward the CARTS program; funds received would he used to leverage for grant
funding.

Dale Sandahl, Mike Navarre -- Discussed the possibility of building a covered, turf
multipurpose facility; believed there were many needs in the community for such a
facility; suggested an advisory question be placed on the fall ballot to find out if
citizens would be interested in building such a facility; and, it would be a quality of life
issue.
It was suggested a survey be sent to Kenai residents. Another suggestion was to
prepare a conceptual drawing for residents to consider, then do a survey. Estimated
cost for drawing an.d survey was stated as $25,000. Council stated no objection for
Administration to investigate grant funding that may be available to pay for the
conceptual drawing.
2 -b. Review of Budget by Department
Department budget reviews would be taken up at the next budget work session.
ITEM 3: SCHEDULE ADDITIONAL WORK SESSION(S)
A second budget work session was scheduled for May 9, 2011 to begin at 6:00 p.m.

Re: Employee Health Care Renewal
There have been new developments regarding the FY 12 Health Insurance Renewal since our last
meeting. Aetna has proposed to reduce the renewal increase from 50% to 39.9% in exchange for
changes in coverage. Under Aetna's proposal employee deductibles would increase from $1,500
individual /$3,000 family to $2,000 individual and $4,000 family. Also the maximum out of
pocket (at plan participating hospitals) would increase from $2,500 individual/$5,000 family to
$4,000 individual /$8,000 family.
The City has also received prices from four other carriers interested in the City's business.
Premera, Oregon Dental Services (ODS), CIGNA, and Alaska Public Utility Trust (APUIT).
Quotes from Premera, ODS, and CIGNA were for high deductible plans similar to the City's
current plan. Rates quoted by Premera, ODS, and CIGNA are not competitive with the Aetna
renewal rates at a 39.9% increase.
APUIT is not a high deductible plan and has emerged as the Administrations preferred option.
APUIT offers quality coverage but limits the maximum out of pocket to $2,000 per covered
individual.
Also included in the latest recommendation rs plann�to fund an employee wellness program that
will include financial incentives for employees to exercise and see their doctor regularly. The
wellness program is expected to cost S20,060 in the first year and $17,060 in subsequent years
and is being proposed to be fully funded by the City.
Attached are comparisons of health care options, a snapshot of the proposed wellness program,
and a side -by -side comparison of Aetna's current benefits, Aetna's proposed benefits, and
APUIT's benefits for you information. Questions are encouraged at the upcoming employee
