She reviewed all the projects included in the plan. Consider options for addressing costs of private health insurance plans maintained by City employees or their family members, including regular HRAs, individual coverage HRAs, and direct reimbursement. Mayor Kelley is researching options to provide something to the employees that is equally beneficial across the board. Original HRA is not designed for premium reimbursement. An ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Account) is designed for small businesses that cannot offer group policies. The other option is a double bonus program where the city would pay the premium, which is taxed, and then pay the approximate tax amount to make up the difference. The council asked Hoggins to invite Mr. Daubert again to our October meeting to gather more information. Item tabled.
