Minutes of the Adjourned Meeting

City Administrator Robert Knabel updated the Council
on how the insurance committee was formed and introduced
the members. Cailey entered the meeting at 5:35 P.M. Ron
Roach a member of the committee explained what work the
committee had done and introduced William Maher with
MRCT Benefits Plus. Mr. Maher outlined how the new
insurance with United Health Care would work. The
committee chose two plans for the employees to choose
from one with no deductible similar to what we have
currently plus a flexible savings account, the other one
with a higher deductible and a health savings account.
United Health Care has both Litchfield Hospital and
Hillsboro Hospital signed on to their networks effective
March 1, 2005 but the local doctors have not signed on
yet. United Health Care feels that could take at least
60–90 days to get the paperwork completed. The committee
does not recommend making the change until the doctors
are in the network. A motion was made Jones seconded by
Beiermann to approve a contract with MRCT Benefits Plus
for the City’s health insurance and to extend our
insurance with Health Alliance for 2 more months or
until United Health Care can get contacts signed with
the providers. On roll call voting aye were Bertolis,
Beiermann, Jones, Schwab, Lankutis, Cornman, Cailey and
