(Item 6.B. Fire Union Letter.-was moved to be heard first)
A. HEALTH CARE CONSULTANT CONTRACT - Hayden
Human Resources Manager Hayden briefed the committee. The City's health care
consultant contract expired at the end of March and an RFP was sent out. Eight
responses were received. After contact by Ms. Hayden, three volunteers from the
Insurance Committee (Chuck Waide, Harry Scott and Joe Lozano) worked with staff
in reviewing the proposals. The three firms selected to be interviewed were Buck
Consulting, AON and The Segal Company. Insurance Committee representatives
and staff recommended that Buck Consulting be selected as the Health Care
Consultant.
Tim Beck from Buck Consulting spoke and responded to various questions,
including the contract cost and services to be provided. After discussion, the
Personnel Committee agreed with the selection of Buck Consulting and directed
staff to forward the agreement to Council. The Committee also directed staff to
ensure that the Retirees are represented at the Insurance Committee meetings.
B. FIRE UNION LETTER
Chief Assistant City Attorney Sherfy stated that their office had reviewed the letter
and the applicable law in this area. According to the City Charter, except for
informational purposes Council could not normally participate in any appointment,
promotion or dismissal. The City Attorney's Office has consulted with Human
Resources Manager Hayden and after reviewing the procedure used, the City
Attorney's Office believes a fair examination took place. Due to the sensitivity of
the issue, Human Resources staff prepared an informational report for
Councilmembers regarding the issue and measures that will be taken in the future
to prevent, to the extent possible, something like this from occurring again. The
Committee took no further action.
