ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
The City amended the City of Miami Beach's Related Special Acts, Section 27: City's
Health Plan for City Officers and Employees, as a result of the Ballot Question on the
November 6,2001 Special Election. This changed the City's contribution to the Health
Plan from one-half of benefit costs to a specific benefit to be established by Ordinance.
For Fiscal Year 2002-2003 the City experience a 28% increase in health insurance costs.
In an effort to reduce the financial impact on the employees, the City is offering two
additional medical plans to the existing program. The new HMO and PPO options offer
somewhat lower benefit levels while still providing a comprehensive plan at a lower cost
than the existing plans. In addition, the City will pay 65% of the employee cost for
individual coverage under these new plans.
The new plans and cost sharing increase are consistent with recommendations made by
the Group Insurance Task Force. The Task Force was a group of employees, businesses
and residents that I tasked with a review and analysis of our health plans in an effort to
help make improvements. Funds for these changes are fully incorporated into the
proposed 2002-2003 budget.
The City offered these two new plans to all City employees except Police and Fire who
have a separate health trust. The Communication Workers of America (C.W.A) and the
Miami Beach Municipal Employees (AF.S.C.M.E.) have elected not to participate at this
time. Unclassified employees, the Government Supervisors Association (G.S.A) and the
group "Others" will be participating in the new plans. (See Attachment A, letter from
A.F.S.C.M.E.; we have not yet received a letter from C.W.A).
The bi-weekly costs to the employee, for both the current plans and the new plans, are
indicated on the following chart:
EMPLOYEE BI-WEEKLY RATES FOR MEDICAL INSURANCE
CURRENT RATE/ NEW RATE (10-1-02) NEW RATE (10-1-02)
CURRENT PLAN CURRENT PLAN NEW PLAN
City pays 50%, employee 50% City pays 50%, employee 50% City pays 65% of employee rate
Citv navs 50% of familv rate
HMO
EMPLOYEE $59.82 $77.76 $50.28
FAMILY $148.26 $192.74 $177.74
PPO
EMPLOYEE $126.69 $158.36 $98.27
FAMILY $310.83 $388.54 $343.15
POS
EMPLOYEE $72.16 $99.94 NOT OFFERED
FAMILY $179.05 $247.98 NOT OFFERED
CONCLUSION
Adopting the Ordinance will provide the City with more flexibility to implement the Group
Insurance Task Force recommendations. We will be able to make adjustments to the
contributions made by the City, within the confines of the approved annual budgets, and
positively impact recruitment and retention of employees while aligning the City with
contributions made by other government employers and nationwide trends.
