I move that the Mayor and Council approve the 2023 calendar year health insurance premium
rates which have increased an average of 5% in all plans. To address the increase, the City will
increase its flat rate contribution from $425 to $439 for individuals; from $746 to $770 for
individual plus one (1); and from $967 to $1,001 for individuals plus two (2) or more. This will
result in the City absorbing more than ½ of the increase and the employees responsible for the
remaining amount. Employees’ contributions per pay on average, is approximately $1.20
increase for single. $2.44 for individual plus one (1), and $3.13 for family. Prescription drug
plans increased 9% on average and the City will continue to pay 80% and the employees 20% of
this cost. The increase in the Dental PPO and HMO Plans for employees per pay, is less than $5
depending on their level of elected coverage and will be paid by the employee.
