4.B. Consider a quote from the League Insurance Government Health Team (LIGHT) for employee health insurance. Representatives from Benefit Management will be present to discuss.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the Council that Dan Duren, with Benefit Management, spoke at the Finance Committee meeting earlier this evening. The League Insurance Group Health Team (LIGHT) program through the League of Nebraska Municipalities will provide the same BlueCrossBlueShield coverage as the City's current plan, but is part of an interlocal agreement with other municipalities that is beneficial for the City. LIGHT is offering an 8.4% reduction of our current rates until the renewal in July. The interlocal agreement allows for the restricted funds spent on health insurance to be considered an exception to the lid limit when it comes budget time. Implementation would have to be immediate for the January 1 term.
