5. Discussion and Action Items
20-1169 Manty Health & Wellness Center 2021 Agreement and Clinic Services
Discussion
Jessie Lillibridge explained to the Committee that the contract with Manty
Health and Wellness Clinic is expiring on December 31, 2020. The clinic is
planning to increase costs to the City significantly. Jay Scott, benefits
consultant with USI, gave a bit of a history of the relationship with the clinic
and the City to the Committee. Scott also explained that the City did go out
for an RFP to Bellin and Holy Family Memorial to try and stay local. Bellin
declined to respond because of their relationship with Holy Family
Memorial and did not want to compete with them. Holy Family Memorial's
proposal was unacceptable due to the fact that it was just repositioning and
offering services that are already available today under the City's health
plan at Holy Family Memorial. They were not responding by using a model
that exits today with the partnership between the City and the School
District. USI negotiated with Aurora to help lower the costs in the new
contract for 2021. Scott's recommendation to the Committee was to accept
the agreement as written for 2021 and the City will go out early in 2021 and
revisit the RFP and look at an alternative model for the City.
Moved by Sitkiewitz, seconded by Schlei, that this request to enter into an
agreement with Aurora for the utilization of the Manty Health and Wellness Clinic
for 2021 be accepted and referred to Council. The motion carried by the
following vote:
Aye: 4- Czekala, Sitkiewitz, Hansen and Schlei
