In other words, an employee received paid insurance up to a maximum amount. Beginning in 1985, with the Local 49 contract, the City Council agreed to a provision that allowed employees who were taking single health insurance to use the remainder for additional insurance or deferred compensation. This provision was added to the remaining contracts in 1986. The monthly amount varied according to the bargaining unit but most employees received $165.00. The single insurance premium in 1986 was about $100.00. Beginning in 2000, some unions negotiated a different rate for employees taking single insurance versus those employees who were taking family insurance. This was due to rapidly increasing insurance rates and a limited budget for benefit increases. Several unions chose to divide the increase in benefit dollars so that members who had family insurance received a larger increase than members with single insurance. Currently three bargaining units and the non -union employees have a different benefit amount for employees with family insurance. Two bargaining units still have all their members receiving the same amount. In 2003, the following cities were reported having a cafeteria plan where all employees received the same benefit regardless of family status: \Cafeteria Plans doc Department of Administration Does the cafeteria plan cost the City money? Obviously, if the City could change its contribution to employees with single health insurance from the current amounts to an amount equal to the cost of the insurance, the City could save anywhere between $136.00 and $221.00 per month per employee. This, however, would be very difficult to negotiate. Should the City negotiate a different rate for employees with single health insurance versus employees with family health insurance? As indicated in the table above, this process has already begun. However, from the point of view of the City, the cost is the same. In 2000, Local 49 negotiated a benefit that included a $50 increase to employees with family insurance and a $10 increase with employees with single insurance. HMEA negotiated a $30 increase for all their members. Had Local 49 negotiated a $30 increase for all their members, the cost to the City would have been equivalent. Had HMEA negotiated a $50/$10 split, the cost would also have been equivalent. There is only a limited amount of dollars available for wage and benefit increases. During negotiations, the individuals unions request a distribution of these dollars based upon the desires of their members. If higher wages are wanted, then lower benefits will have to be taken. If larger increases in benefits are sought in order to assist union members with family insurance, then members with single insurance will have to settle for less. • • XCEL ENERGY PROPOSED FRANCHISE FEE CALCULATIONS Accounts Fees Annual Residential 7822 $1.00 $93,864 Sm C & I - non demand 695 $3.00 $25,020 Sm C & I - demand 309 $9.00 $33,372 Large C & I 62 $63.00 $46,872 $199,128 CENTER POINT ENERGY MINNEGASGO Accounts Fees Annual Residential 4003 $1.00 $48,036 Commercial A 252 $1.00 $3,024 Commercial /Industrial B 201 $3.00 $7,236 Commercial /Industrial C 263 $9.00 $28,404 Small Dual Fuel A & B 37 $9.00 $3,996 $90,696 COMBINED ANNUAL REVENUE $289,824 Community Services Assessing City Clerk/ Elections Inspections Reception Boards & Commissions Administrative Services Finance Accounting Payroll Utility Billing CITIZENS CITY COUNCIL City Manager Planning & Economic Development Economic Development Housing Planning & Zoning Public Housing Fire Fire & Medical Response Prevention Emergency Preparedness City Attorney MIS Police Patrol/ Investigation Public Service/ F_ Communications Prevention Engineering Street/Traffic/ Refuse Facilities Management Water & Sewer Activity Center Center for the Arts Depot Coffee House Overpass Skate Park Pavilion /Ice Arena Public Works Recreation Building Maint. & Equipment Services Parks & Forestry 2003/9/8 City of Minnetonka Jim Genellie Community Services • Don Beckering Fire Chief RPT=Regular Part Time Jim Genellie Assistant City Manager MIS DIRECTOR Mike Noe PC Technician Ron Doran Jim Scanlon (RPT) Craig Reid Police Chief CITY OF HOPKINS Steve Mielke City Manager Lori Yager Finance Jim Kerrigan Planning & Economic Dev.
