DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS Alder Sladky joined the meeting at 5:12 p.m. Present: 5- Hennessey, Able, McMeans, Sladky and Brandel 15-1067 Discussion on Switching to Self-Insured Worker's Compensation. Greg Gilsinger gave an overview of the costs to the City of Manitowoc if the decision was made to switch to a self-insured Worker's Compensation plan. For six out of the past eight years, the City would have benefited financially as a self-insured entity rather than fully insured. Discussion ensued on the risk, stop-loss coverage, and the funds necessary in the reserve account. The maximum payout per claim would be $500,000, due to stop/loss coverage. Worker's Compensation claims are paid out over time, as the claims are received. Moved by McMeans, seconded by Able, to recommend that the City Attorney draft a Resolution to switch from a fully insured Worker's Compensation plan to a self-insured plan administered by CVMIC effective January 1, 2016. The motion carried by the following vote: Aye: 4- Hennessey, Able, McMeans and Brandel Abstain: 1- Sladky City of Manitowoc Page 1 Personnel Committee Meeting Minutes - Final October 19, 2015 Mike Howe and Kim Lynch joined the meeting at 5:18 p.m. Greg Gilsinger left the meeting at 5:21 p.m. and Jim Brey joined the meeting at 5:21 p.m. 5.
