SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Renewal Rates for the Voluntary Dental Plan
DATE: November 10, 2008
Personnel Manager Randy Peck is recommending City Council approval of the renewal
rates for the Voluntary Dental Plan, which is paid in full by the employees. The single
premium rose from $33.73 per month to $34.41 per month, and the family plan rose
from $101.12 per month to $103.14 per month.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

FROM: Randy Peck, Personnel Manager
SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Renewal Rates for the Voluntary Dental Plan
DATE: November 10, 2008
The premium for the dental plan, which is paid by the employee, will increase from
$33.73 per month to $34.41 per month for the single plan and from $101.12 per month
to $103.14 per month for the family plan. These rates would be in effect from January
1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. Employees who enroll in the dental plan will have
the payments deducted from their first two paychecks each month. The premiums will
be divided in two and they have to be an even number. Consequently, I recommend
that the amount employees will pay for the single premium be reduced from $34.41 per
month to $34.40 per month effective January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The
City will be billed at the rate of $33.41 per month for employees who enroll in the single
dental plan. The requested action is for the City Council to approve the renewal rates
and authorize you to sign the attached financial exhibit.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
