Health Care Expenditures and Renewal
The Personnel Committee discussed the Human Resources Officer's
March 17, 1998 report concerning 1998-1999 Health Care Plan Renewal.
The Committee reviewed Health Care Plan expenditures for Fiscal Year
1997-1998 with discussion of larger claims paid for specific individuals'
serious illnesses. They also reviewed the impact of forecasted expenditures
on current labor contract agreements and their impact on future
negotiations.
The consensus of the Personnel Committee was to make the following
recommendations to the N-illage Board.
1. That the Village Board authorize the Village Manager to enter into a
contract with HMO Illinois to provide medical benefits. The HMO is
requesting a 3.1% increase. There was no increase last year.
2. That the Village Board authorize the Village Manager to enter into a
contract with First Commonwealth to provide HMO dental care benefits.
First Commonwealth is requesting an 8% rate increase. This is their first
increase request since 1994.
3. That the Village Board review the following Village Health Care Plan
Fixed Cost items.
a. Gallagher Bassett medical and dental monthly administration

0.75 cents (11.2%) respectively.
b. The Specific Stop Loss Re-insurance program with Lloyds of
London at a cost not to exceed $280,389. This represents an

$279,715.
C. The Aggregate Stop Loss Re-insurance program with Lloyds of
London at a cost not to exceed $19,215. This represents a
