The Village Manager, Gary Parrin, addressed the Mayor and Board regarding the funding
shortage for the Village's Health Care. It was noted that the shortages,which occurred both
last year and this year, were the result of a budgeting error that occurred when the accounts
were consolidated between Gallagher and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. The budget included only
the medical costs but not costs for prescription drugs and vision.
It was noted that there are 22 Park District employees in the PPO who are using twice the
amount that they put into the fund. Furthermore, their usage has been increasing
astronomically.
The Board noted that they were in agreement with the consultant and staff meeting with the
Park District.
Trustee Lissner raised a question regarding the Village Manager's memo and noted that the
Finance Department made a correct original cost estimate. G. Parrin noted that the figure was
reduced during the budget process due to 20 positions that were not filled and a reduction for
wholesale discounts through the PPO network. Furthermore, low claim costs in the first seven
months steered budget estimates lower than what actual costs turned out to be.
Also contributing to the budget shortfall was the addition of 21 PPO participants, and their
family members,who switched from the HMO plan into the PPO plan.
The meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m.
