MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Lori Johnson, Finance and Adlministrative Services Director
DATE: June 6, 2005
SUBJECT: Consider Patrol Union Healtll1 Care Savings Plan
I
The Patrol Union contract approved by the Counc~ for the years 2005 and 2006 requires
that a Post Retirement Health Care Savings Plan bt established for the Union. Since
January, 2005, Union members have been contributing $25.00 per month to be placed in the
plan once a vendor was selected.
Lauren Wipper, Human Resource Representative, and I evaluated both the ICMA and
Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) plans. I Both plans meet all of our requirements;
however, the two differ in several ways including ll11vestment options, administration fees,
and payout provisions. Union Steward Dale Olmscheid worked with the Union members to
select the plan that best fit their needs. The Unioni has selected the MSRS plan.
Action Requested
The Council is asked to authorize the City to enteriinto a Health Care Savings Plan with the
Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) for th~ Patrol Union effective immediately.
