MERIDIAN CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING
NOVEMBER 30.1999
The Special Meeting of the Meridian City Council was called to order at 6:30 p.m.
on November 30, 1999 by Mayor Robert Corrie.
MEMBERS PRESENT: ROBERT CORRIE, RON ANDERSON, KEITH BIRD.
OTHERS PRESENT: GARY SMITH, BILL GIGRAY, TAMMY deWEERD,
CHERIE McCANDLESS, BILL GORDON, PAULINE SKEGGS, TRISH COBA.
Corrie: I'll open the Meridian City Council on November the 30th, 1999 at 6:30
p.m. Council's going to meet for the following employee benefits package for
insurance benefits and possible land purchase. At this time, Pauline, I'll have
you start with the employee benefit package. You and Trish can (inaudible).
Skeggs: Mayor and Council members, Trish Coba who is our broker from
Seabury & Smith is here to do a presentation. She had met with the Benefits
Committee in regard to our insurance renewal. We've made some
recommendations to you that you should have received a packet which will
include the renewal process and also the preferred Blue Provider Book from Blue
Cross and a PPO directory from Blue Cross. Trish will go over the renewal with
you.
Coba: Mayor and City Council, enclosed in your packet are several items. I'll
just go through them. Of course, the cover sheet, you have our written
recommendation of what we did. We were asked to go out into the marketplace
to obtain competitive bids. Of the carriers that we asked to quote, two declined
to quote: Primary Health and The Principle. We did get competitive quotes from
Blue Cross and Regence Blue Shield. The renewal for Regence came in at 10.7
percent which is underneath the renewal cap that Regence had guaranteed you
last year at this time. Blue Cross came in with their renewal and offered several
choices to you. One choice is the traditional plan or what we call an indemnity
plan with a deductible and co-insurance, and the second option \M>uld be their
PPO plan. In addition to that, the third option, you had the dual choice. You
could accept both plans. In looking at that, we looked at what are the financial
advantages to you, the City, in moving over to Blue Cross. Under the traditional
plan, the City actually could save quite a bit of money up to about $35,000 a year
in just if everybody went to the traditional plan alone which is a substantial
savings to you. In addition to that, if you went to just the PPO plan, there was
even a greater savings. It was 23 percent or about $80,000. What we
recommended that you do is accept a dual option plan, offer both benefits to the
City employees and with statistical information and that 50 percent of the
enrollment will go to both plans, you still could save quite a bit of money. But,
being conservative, one of the things that we wanted to do is tell you what would
the worse case scenario if you just took the traditional plan. That savings, of
course, is stated to you in not only the cover letter, but in the exhibits. So if I go
Meridian City counclpecial Meeting
November 30, 1999
Page 2
,
forward into your packet, the first exhibit that you have is where Regence came
in with the renewal. That is where the page in there - the comparison. Yeah.
Again, that is our traditional indemnity plan, and the rates are at the bottom
reflecting the 10.7 percent increase for the renewal. There are no coverage
differences there. They're just the straight plan, the same plan renewing. In the
second page, we are showing you the traditional plan and the PPO together,
combined. Now, these choices are options individually as well as combined. As
you can see on the Blue Cross traditional plan design, it's a $500 deductible plan
just like what you've got currently with Regence Blue Shield, $1000 out of pocket.
As you go down that line item, you can see what the monthly premium at
$28,000 with your current enrollment with a total annual premium of $346,875
representing a 1.42 percent increase over where you currently are with Regence
today. To the right-hand side is Blue Cross' option for the PPO design. The
PPO plan has, again, the $500 deductible. The significance of this is that it
doesn't have an office co-pay. The office co-pay is a $20 co-pay, and that can
be used at the point of service whether you go into a primary care physician or in
a specialty physician. Benefits in that were co-paid at 90 percent out of network
are penalized at 70 percent. The total monthly premium for that plan design is
$24,000 making an annual premium of $291,439 or 14 percent decrease over
your current. It's actually a 24 percent savings over the renewal. The next
illustration actually demonstrates what the savings potential could be that if the
City offered both plans to its employees with enrollment being equally divided
between the two plans. Over in the far, right-hand corner, that is illustrated a
monthly premium of $26,582 with the annual premium being of $318,985 for a
6.74 percent savings over your current. Questions this far?
Anderson: I have one. When you talked about a 50 percent enrollment in each,
has that traditionally been what you've seen is that the employees will pretty
much split SO/50 on what they want to enroll in?
Coba: Over the course of time, yes. Over the course of time, you will see 50
percent enrollment going to both plans. Initially, it might be all the healthy ones
going to the PPO because the perceive it as being a health-type plan, and the
unhealthy ones stay in the traditional plan. Over the course of time, people
generally understand both plans equally, and about 50 percent will go to both
plans.
Anderson: Then I guess a follow-up question, it would seem to me as much as
employees talk back and forth within various departments that it would cause
considerable amount of confusion about coverages and benefits and things like
that because one guy might be under this plan, and the next might be under that
plan, and just the interaction amongst co-workers talking about their plans, it's
very difficult, I think, for a lot of the employees to understand their benefit
packages as it is. It seems like that would just cause a lot of confusion. Has that

been the experience in - do you know of anybody else that's done these divided
~~~ .
Coba: Yeah. Typically what the conversations migrate to are instead of how do
you like about our health insurance to are you on the co-pay plan or are you on
the deductible. I mean, that's - the first question is which plan are you on, and
then after you've qualified that question, then the details come in. We have a
dual-option within our own company. Several of my clients have dual-options.
They haven't been very popular in this area because, number one, the carriers
haven't allowed them to happen in the past. That's happening as we are
entering into more and more managed care in our marketplace. It's typical that
you see more than one plan in larger companies, which, by the way, you're
getting to be large, very large employer. Any other questions? Okay. Behind
that are the declinations that we received and the responses that we received
because one of the things that we did was that during the process, we went back
to Regence Blue Shield and said we did get a competitive quote, and without
disclosing what those rates are, we gave them the opportunity to sharpen their
pencil. Knowing that they have been with you for a year and the opportunity to
renew. The letter that you are seeing in your packet reflects their decision to
hold firm on the renewal. In addition to that, you have their renewal rates. Then
following that are the declinations from Primary Health and the Principle which
are the other lenders that we did ask to quote, but declined to quote because of
competitiveness. Now, our other recommendation is that the City has always
wanted to implement another benefit, and that has been short-term disability.
We have discussed that in detail throughout the year. This is something that's
been on the table. With this savings, you could implement that benefit and pay
for it from the City savings and still save approximately $1400 a month or
$17,000 a year.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Trish, what kind of short-term disability is that? I mean, what's the short-
term? Six months?
Coba: It goes for 90 days. It integrates with your long-term policy.
Bird: What is the benefits on it?
Coba: The benefits are illustrated - Let's go to the last page, I believe, in your
booklet. That - what we were recommending is in the far, right-hand corner, the
Unum (sic) policy, Option No.2, which states that it's a 60 percent income
replacement. Are you finding it?
Bird: No.
Meridian City counclpecial Meeting
November 30, 1999
Page 4
.
Corrie: Very last page.
Bird: Okay. I got it now.
Coba: Okay. So the very far-right column, the Unum option No.2, 60 percent of
a weekly benefit income replacement with a maximum weekly benefit of $1,000.
So if somebody salary, if they være making more than 60 percent of their weekly
salary, \M)uld be cut back to $1,000. Benefits start on the 15th day, there is no
elimination period of 15 days for both sickness and for accidents or injuries. The
duration of the benefit is 11 væeks which immediately after the 11 weeks, your
long-term disability starts. The rate guarantee is a two-year rate guarantee.
Bird: Thank you, Trish.
Coba: Now, the other benefits that we looked at renewal were the employee
assistance program, your current vendor, Business lcology (sic), still offers the
most competitive quote, and we are recommending to renew with them- The
vision, VSP is still offering you the best benefit and cost. That benefit has
increased, and that will be the part of the process that if you move to Blue Cross,
we would have to re-enroll with VSP. Any questions?
Corrie: None?
Bird: I have none.
Anderson: I have one, Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Okay. Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Last year, we had asked for the first year we signed up with Regence,
we'd asked them a quote for the second year and a cap on that. Did you do that
with Blue Cross?
Coba: Yes. We did ask that of Blue Cross, and yes, there is a cap of 12 percent
for the second-year renewal.
Corrie: Any other questions? Okay.
Bird: I have none.
Corrie: Trish.
Coba: Thank you, Mayor, Council.

Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I have a question for - I see we have one, two, four of you from the
Committee. What is your thoughts on which way We should go?
Corrie: Did you get that letter to them? They all signed it?
Bird: Yes, it's right there, Mayor.
Corrie: Oh. Okay. That's - I didn't get it. Okay. Anybody that's on the
Committee want to - Gary, any (inaudible) what you had on the letter? Okay.
Pauline was there.
Bird: Any concerns, disagreements, good bad or indifferent?
Smith: Mr. Mayor and Council, I think the Committee felt that the proposal as
Trish outlined it to you was very acceptable to us as a Committee, and
particularly attractive was the addition of the short-term disability. We'd had
some discussions about the viability of the sick-leave pool. This would help in
that regard to have a short-term disability available. I don't think we had any
other comments.
Bird: And you like the dual-option program? The Committee did?
Smith: Yes, we did. It will give the employees a flexibility to pick one of those,
and I believe that Trish mentioned at our meeting that you could, an employee
could change once each year if they chose to.
Bird: Thank you.
Corrie: Trish, I had a question. On the PPO, the St. Luke's is the hospital of
Blue Cross. What if they go to St. AI's? What's the difference or what do we do
if we're on the PPO rather than the preferred Blue?
Coba: Okay. Good question. Under the PPO plan design, the preferred hospital
is St. Luke's. If in fact you go to St. Alphonses, it is an out-of-network charge
except for trauma. A life-threatening condition or trauma. That is clearly
identified by the plan that it is something that is life threatening, taken by air flight,
ambulance and life-threatening, going to St. AI's would be treated as in-patient or
in-network. Okay? All right? They will, and I heard your comment that - I want
to be real clear is that person will be treated, stabilized and more than likely
moved over to Luke's.
Meridian City coun~pecial Meeting

.
Anderson: They have to be transported? We had a case 'Nhere we had one of
our employees drive himself to the hospital having chest pains, and it wasn't a
hospital that was under compliance, so that's kind of - want to cover hospital
charges because he was close to that hospital, he figured, I'm going to get to the
closest hospital, and it didn't turn out to be life threatening- So - it wasn't a
trauma.
Coba: Yeah. That is a communication thing that has to be clear. We discussed
that in the Committee that we 'NOuld be real clear in those circumstances that
that 'NOuldn't be life threatening, and yes, that would be paid out-of-network.
Corrie: You all understand what out-of-network means?
Bird: No. Explain it to me.
Coba: Out-of-network means that it would not be paid. It \M>uld still be subject to
the deductible, but it \NOuld not be paid at the 90/10 co-insurance. It \M>uld be
paid at the 70/30.
Bird: 70/30. Okay. That's what I thought it was, but I just wanted to hear - no
problem.
Corrie: Okay. Thank you, Trish.
Coba: Thank you, Mayor and Council. The reason that we did it tonight was so
we could have time to decide the change. We can do the employees - sign the
cards and make sure it goes smoothly the transition. Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Mr. Mayor, I would move that we adopt the health insurance and
short-term disability plan as recommended by the Benefits Committee and
presume that (inaudible).
Bird: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion has been made and seconded that we accept the plan that
was presented with the short-term disability and Blue Cross. Is that with the
dual-option?
Rountree: With the dual-option, yes.
Corrie: Further discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of the motion say
aye.
MOTION CARRIED: THREE AYES, ONE NAY

Corrie: The next item is the land purchase. Chief, do you want to say anything
before we - I think we've all discussed this at one time. Council, have any
questions in reference to this? Maybe we just make sure (inaudible) -
Gordon: We've got Dave Williams, the realtor handling the properties here.
Maybe he could - (inaudible). Nothing's changed.
Bird: I've got a question on this, and this has been brought up by -
Corrie: Okay, Mr. Bird.
Bird: -- some Councilmen coming in. What is that zoned out there right now?
It's zoned residential, isn't it?
Gordon: Single-family residential.
Bird: Single-family residential. What does single-family residential selling for
now by the acre?
Gordon: Oh, I wouldn't even want to guess. Dave?
Bird: Dave can tell us.
Williams: $25,000.
Corrie: $25,000 an acre? Okay. Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: I really have no questions. I have some comments.
Corrie: You have a comment? No questions?
Anderson: Did we ever research the cost of going all the way to Locust Grove
and we had talked about the possibility of a land exchange for right-of-way with
Ada County Highway District? Was that option explored?
Gordon: Not with me.
Corrie: Let's have Dave come up.
Williams: Mayor Corrie, City Council members, my name's Dave Williams of
Diamond Properties. I'm a broker for the State of Idaho. I represent Howell
Murdoch Development Corporation; they 0'Ml the 20 acres that consists of the
ten acres that Mayor Corrie is interested in for the City Police Department. We
presently are under platting for the 15 acres contiguous to the west that abuts
Stratford, and we're going before City Council, I believe, December th, the final
Meridian City count Special Meeting
November 30, 1999
Page 8
8
plat approval. Upon that final plat approval, we will, as soon as we receive from
the engineers, et cetera, our platting map. We will be extending Water Tower to
the east from Stratford to and contiguous to the ten-acre parcel that you folks are
interested in. Eventually, that will continue on to Locust Grove. Presently, the
ten acres being a part of 20-acre parcel that goes all the way to Locust Grove is
not in the city limits; however, the 15 acres we are developing, of course, is in the
city limits. We are contiguous, before you develop your portion of that property, if
you were to purchase it, you would need to annex it which we would also go
ahead and annex the balance of the ten acres. According to Shari Stiles, this
area has been indicated to in the new Camp Plan, fall under commercial
designation, not an R-G or residential designation. That, of course, is why that
land price. We were approached as to whether or not we'd be interested in
selling the ten-acre parcel, and offered it at $1.85 a square foot. I've been
informed that if City doesn't buy it, I'm to put it on the market for $2.25 a square
foot. The 15-acre parcel we will be developing into one-acre lots, and those will
be priced at $3.50 a square foot. I believe that the $1.85 a square foot is a very
fair price. I'm surprised they're willing to sell it at that other than the fact that I do
know that they have another place on a residential development that they want to
invest these monies. As far as any other questions, I think somebody mentioned
something to the effect of å trade on ACHD, and I assume that is a trade to gain
easement for the expansion of Locust Grove.
Anderson: Let me ask you my original question so you could answer that just
straight forward. When we revie'N8d the piece of property, it looked like it would
be a small strip of land left betvveen the piece of property that we would be
purchasing and Locust Grove. Our question was what would the price be of that
additional section of ground and then just purchase the entire section all the way
to Locust Grove and then that way we could possibly trade part of the right-of-
way on that to Ada County Highway District and help to get an overpass put over
Locust Grove?
Williams: I see. I understand your question now. There's - there would be
approximately 313 feet to Locust Grove, and it's my understanding that the
owner does not want to sell that They wanted that frontage on Locust Grove. I
can certainly ask them that question if they would be willing to consider a sale.
Bird: 313 by what?
Williams: It would be 313 by 430.
Bird: 430?
Williams: Uh-huh.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Meridian City counc~pecial Meeting
November 30,1999

Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Dave, we'd also discussed at one time, if we purchase this, we have talked
to Ada County Highway District, and we're going to have to help get some right-
of-way there if we want the overpass over Locust Grove which we feel is a very
important necessity to get started. If by purchasing this, if we could get them to
donate, sell cheap to us or something, 45 feet along the front there. That was
what we had also discussed. We thought, Ron said, we'd discussed going on
out and getting the whole thing. I can see right now we can't do that. There's too
many square foot.
Corrie: They don't (inaudible) not here anyway.
Bird: They don't own the properties that go to Locust?
Anderson: No- We don't. You had discussed extending that - (inaudible) Water
Tower all the way through to Locust Grove. If we purchase this parcel of land,
what will that do to the future plan and extension of that road? Will that make us
responsible for half of that roadway going through there?
Williams: That is correct.
Corrie: So the property line will be in the middle of the street?
Williams: Middle of the road. And they certainly, in the sale of the ten acres,
would want an easement or half of the road on your ten-acre parcel.
Anderson: And does this developer - when it's his plan for extending this road -
Williams: Well, a lot of that will be determined by how quickly the Comp Plan
gets put in place, and we are looking at coming in for annexation, and we're
reviewing those thoughts and ideas right now. Certainly they would look to
develop it very soon, particularly if they sell this ten-acre parcel to you folks. I
imagine that we V\IOuld have to enter into some type of agreement on that
extension of Water Tower. The Mayor and I have (inaudible) talked about maybe
having a time period in mind; something under contract; whereas the owner
would extend Water Tower through to Locust Grove at a (inaudible) time.
Corrie: Any other questions? Mr. Rountree, you want to make a comment?
Rountree: Yeah. One concern I had was the fact that it is zoned single-family
residential at this point, then the County - if we were to purchase this county at
the present time, we would also have to go through a Camp Plan amendment
process or wait until such time as we had our Camp Plan revised and make sure
that the Camp Plan would reflect that this area is something other than single-
Meridian City coun'special Meeting

family residential. First issue. The second issue is just talking about, Ron was
talking about, is we don't have anything definite in terms of development of the
extension of Water Tower, and we haven't figured into the cost of this particular
parcel our cost of providing half of a roadway and our cost of participating in the
extension to the sewer and water, so those are additional costs that we 'MJuld
have to factor into this particular purchase. I'm pointing those out so we don't
forget these things. I know some people get the impression that I have it out for
the police department, but I think that the Chief will reflect back about four years
ago when he took me through the current building, my comment was you need a
new building, you don't have anyplace to even hang guys on the wall let along
have offices for them. I'm sympathetic with the need, but I'm looking at this a
little closer because I think we got our track shoes on and got it going on a piece
of property for the Fire Department a little too quick over there, and we've got
ourselves trapped into some issues that are going to be fairly expensive to deal
with. I don't want to get us unknowingly in this situation as this piece of property.
I guess the last real issue I have is that in my mind, I'm not sure that this is the
right location for community oriented public safety type building. Now I may be
wrong, but I don't have any idea what's going to be built around that place.
We're going to have one acre subdivision on either side of Water Tower coming
up to this particular piece of property, and we're going to have one acre
subdivision to the north of it. I guess I'm a bit uneasy of having this facility
isolated in what could be a fairly heavy duty and not necessarily very aesthetic or
enticing to the public to come to the police station. Just a concern. Something to
think about. When we get down to the price per square foot, it's a great deal it
seems for commercial property. It's not a terrific deal for single-family. Having
said that, I don't know if there's any other comments or if anybody else has any
thoughts on the property, but I just wanted to point those things out that I'd
observed over the weeks of mulling over this particular piece of property and our
action this evening or the near future on whether or not we acquire it.
Corrie: All right. Anyone else?
Anderson: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I haven't really given much thought to the surrounding development.
I've been thinking more about the size of the property and the cost per square
foot, so I think maybe I'd like to hear from Chief Gordon on what your thoughts
would be and how this would impact your facility if this all turned out to be
commercial and warehouse type of businesses around there. Does that have an
impact at all upon your facility?
Gordon: No. In fact, that's the preferred location is strictly commercial. I think
what we're going to see there is what we're already starting to see, and that's
Meridian City count Special Meeting
November 30, 1999
Page 11

Micron to the west, the computer outfit to the south, the Stonebridge is putting in
smaller commercial buildings which are not really industrial, but they're more of
daytime business type operations. In fact, we were just talking, Tammy wanted
to know the same thing, and we don't fit in residential areas because we're not
really good neighbors. We're pretty noisy. We test sirens all hours of the night,
we usually get the clientele after the sun goes down, and the average person
doesn't want their neighborhood. The recommended location is in commercial
area, and that fits right there. The overpass gives us access, and here again,
what you see now is just a field of stubble. In five to ten years, we're going to
have access to Franklin off of Stonebridge. We're going to have access off of
Locust Grove, we're going to have access across the road, and we're going to
have access clear to East First Street. Unlike fire departments, we don't need,
we don't respond from station, but I think it would be a good location for the
services that we are going to provide and the walk-in traffic for law enforcement.
There are better locations, I'm sure, but they're a heck of a lot more expensive,
too. Ideal location would be - just checking to see if the press is here. I always
get my foot in my mouth when they're around, but-
Corrie: They're hiding somewhere.
Gordon: Martin's here. Is tear the creameiy down and Zamzow's and put us
right there. That'd be the ideal location. Just build up. I foresee that as a growth
area, or the next block over. But how long is it going to take for that to be torn
down, cleaned up, and then the cost, you know, nobody even knows what the
cost is going to be there. I'm satisfied with the location, and some of the fringe
benefits are the Department of Law Enforcement is right there. We do a lot of
work with the lab, we do a lot of work with the training facility, and we'd have
access to all of that. A lot of police departments now have to put in weight
rooms, workout rooms and everything is right there. We've been using it since
they went in. So we're getting a lot of benefits of being close. As far as the
zoning, I think that'd be up to you guys in the Impact Area. That answer your
question -
Anderson: Yes. Thank you.
Gordon: -- without going too far?
Anderson: Just something with the guys named Bill, I guess.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Chief, we would not have to put that road through to start with, put the
building in, would we ?
Meridian City coun'special Meeting
November 30, 1999

Gordon: No, sir.
Bird: There would be no -
Gordon: Just access through the parking lot would be enough for now. Here
again, that would have to be approved through the Council, Planning and Zoning.
Bird: (inaudible). I like the price of the land. This is a comment more than
anything. I agree with Charlie on a lot of stuff. I don't know if that's the ideal
location; I think it is. When Chief approached me, I asked him seeing how I'm
not the law enforcement business and don't know where they want to run out of.
I think that would be his primary place, but I think the price of the land - we can
come downtown, I doubt if we can find anything, but by the time we get the dirty
dirt cleaned up ready to build, we're probably looking at $12 to $13 a square foot
if we can find that much land. We don't need ten acres to start with, but I think
that down the road you will need ten acres. One of these days. Probably most
of us in the room won't see it, but I think something we can plan ahead for, for
once in our lives. In 1987 they thought this building would last for 50 years, but
by having the area, we don't have to worry. We know that land is not going to go
down unless there's a real bad fall in the economy, so as long as the police
department thinks that is the location, the price of the land is as cheap as we
found. Ron and I got real educated on prices of land when we looked for land for
the fire station around this area. I think it's a decent buy if you guys - that's just
my opinion.
Corrie: Any other comments?
Anderson: I have one additional comment.
Corrie: Okay. Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: I, too, think it's a good price in the land and listening to Chief
Gordon's explanation; it sounds like it would be a fairly good location, very
functional. I guess as kind of a side note, this is a pretty expensive piece of
property, and not to get your hopes up too much or to burst your bubble, but
there may not be money immediately to build the building, and so I think we are
looking ahead, and we're probably going to find in favor of purchasing this land,
but it may be a couple of years off before we find enough money to actually build
the building, I guess, is in my mind.
Gordon: We're on the fringe or on the border of another double-wide trailer, I
wouldn't be opposed to putting it out on that farmland, but that's where we're at
now. Our double-wide's full again, so -
Bird: I don't think we can allow that.

Gordon: We can put the double-wides out there. Temporary facility.
Corrie: Okay. Any other comments?
Bird: Did you plan on passing, getting this done?
Corrie: Yeah. That's why we had the meeting. Okay. I'll entertain a motion on
the ten-acre site.
Bird: Mr. Mayor.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: I move that we purchase ten acres which is for 140,000 square feet at a
buck 85 a square foot which comes to about $845,000, I believe.
Corrie: $805,860.
Bird: For future site of Meridian Police Department.
Bentley: Second.
Corrie: Okay. Motion to accept the ten acres at $805,860 or $1.85 a square foot
on the Water Tower Road between Locust Grove and Stratford Drive. Any other
discussion? Hearing none, we'll go roll-call vote on this; Mr. Anderson.
Anderson: Aye.
Corrie: Mr. Bentley.
Bentley: Aye.
Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: Aye.
Corrie: Mr. Rountree.
Rountree: Before I cast my vote, I just challenge the future Council people and
the President Council people that will be going on in the future to continue to
push for the Locust Grove overpass.
Bird: We will.
Bentley: Most definitely.

particular piece of property. With that, I vote aye.

Corrie: Mr. Bird.
Bird: One reply, you fight hard at the state level.
Rountree: I think I got it started already.
Corrie: I think it's started already. Okay. That concludes the special meeting of
the City Council. I guess, Mr. Gigray, do we need to close this one and open up
this for the 'M>rkshop?
Gigray: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council, since it's been noticed that way, I
suppose you could proceed in that fashion so it's clear under what agenda you're
running under.

RE:
Benefit Changes
CITY OF MERIDIAL\f
CC:
Ron Anderson, Glenn Bentley, Keith Bird, Charlie Rountree, Mayor Corrie
The benefit renewal committee met with Trish Coba ÍÌom Seabury & Smith on Tuesday
November 23rd to review the insurance renewal. The committee has reviewed, approved and is
recommending the following changes to the City's benefit program effective January 1, 2000:
1. Change in health carriers ÍÌom Blue Shield to Blue Cross's dual option program, which
means City employees have an option to enroll in Blue Cross's Traditional Plan or in their
Preferred Blue Plan. (The rrrinimwn cost savings would be $31,760 AO per year if all
employees chose the traditional plan). There could be a substantial savings to the City if
employees enroll into the Preferred Plan.
2. Implementation of a short-term disability program.
From the savings received in changing health carriers the City's implementation of a short-term
disability program is at no additional cost to the City.
Attached is a copy of the renewal information for your review. Trish ÍÌom Seabury & Smith will
be here next Tuesday at 6:30 PM for the special meeting to answer any questions the council
may have.

SEABURY & SMITH
Insurançe Program Management
November 23, 1999
Mayor Robert Corrie
& Committee Members
City of Meridian
33 East Idaho
Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Mayor Corrie & Committee Members,
At your request, Seabury & Smith went to market for the City of Meridian's group
medical insurance. Our objective was to find a quality insurance plan for a reasonable
cost. We had two carriers decline to quote because their rates were not competitive with
the inforce rates for the City of Meridian. Those two carriers were Primary Health Care
and Principal Financial Group. We also requested that Regence Blue Shield reduce their
renewal increase of 10.7% but they held firm on their renewal increase. We have
enclosed a copy of the declination letters from Primary Health Care, Principal Financial
Group and the letter from Regence Blue Shield stating they are holding firm on their
renewal rates.
We have prepared a spreadsheet comparing the current and renewal rates from Regence
Blue Shield to the rates from Blue Cross ofIdaho. Blue Cross ofIdaho is offering the
City of Meridian a stand alone Traditional Plan or Preferred Blue Plan (PPO). You may
also choose a "dual option" with Blue Cross of Idaho which means your employees
would be able to decide if they would like to be covered under the Blue Cross Traditional
Plan or the Preferred Blue Plan. Due to the cost savings and freedom of choice, we
would recommend the City of Meridian move their group medical plan to Blue Cross of
Idaho under the dual option plan. You would then need to move the GrÓup Vision plan
to the VSP plan offered through Blue Cross of Idaho.
Also enclosed please find the renewal rates for Business Psychology. Business
Psychology is offering a zero increase at renewal. We also obtained a rate from VRI,
which is more expensive, then Business Psychology. We would recommend renewing
your policy with Business Psychology due to the cost savings.

Included for consideration are the rates for a Short Term Disability plan for the
employees of City of Meridian. At this time, we would recommend Unum (option 2) as
your disability carrier. We have several accounts with Unum and have found them to be
a reputable carrier and our accounts have been pleased with their service.
The cost savings from changing medical carriers would be $31,760.40 per year (this
figure is based on all employees enrolling in the traditional Blue Cross plan). Should the
City of Meridian add Short Term Disability to their benefit package the City of Meridian
would still obtain an annual savings of$16,385.76.
We welcome your suggestions, comments and the direction you wish to lead us on behalf
of the City of Meridian. It has always been our pleasure to service you and the
employees of the City of Meridian.
Sincerely,
J rz Î.Sll.->

Blue Cross of Idaho (BCI) is pleased to respond to your request for proposal (RFP) for the City

Additionally, we are offering our Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) program as either a
stand-alone employee benefit plan, or as a dual-option with the traditional medical program. We
believe our proposal to be the most innovative and cost-effective proposal for the city and its
employees. The rates and benefits we are quoting for the City of Meridian areas follows:

expenses when they use in-network he:llth cJ.re providers (doCtors, hospi ~
t:lls, and other covered providers) trom the Preterred Blue network of con-
tracting providers. In-network physician office visits require only a 520
copaymem; Preferred Blue pays the rest. vVellness :lnd preventive healch

ment.
Preterred Blue enrollees can choose to obtain covered he:lith care services

services received oUtside Preferred Blue's network of providers are subject
to higher enrollee coinsurance, deductibles, and our-of-pocket maximums.
Enrollees may also be responsible tor provider ch:lrges chat exceed the
maximum allowance. .-\5 Pn:terred Blue enrollees, your employees make
the choice.
Blue Cross ofIdaho will provide YOur employees with a direcrory of our
