B. Insurance - C14232 Resolution A Resolution of the City of Sunrise, Florida, awarding third-party administrative services only for self-funded HMO and NPOS Open access Employee Group Health Insurance Plans, including Pharmacy Benefit Management to AVMED, Inc.; and providing for an effective date. MOTION A motion to approve Item 4B made by was seconded by. City Manager Alan Cohen explained that the city was moving to a self-funded model. The city would pay for direct health costs and administrative costs, but not profits. This would garner cost savings. Over 10 years, it cost $6.6 million to pay profits to the provider. The City would maintain its own reserve. The cost liability will be mitigated by reinsurance. Separately, the health and wellness center would be pursued. There would be no changes in benefits or the copayments in insurance. The ancillary services would not change. The HMO and POS would be open access. There would be no change in how the claims were processed. Sunrise would only reimburse AvMed for their costs. There would be a 96% overlay of providers from Humana to AvMed. Highly used physicians would be asked to join AvMed. If someone was in the middle of treatment, there would be a continuity of care provision. Only a few hospitals did 2

3 not participate. The premiums would be lower on average. Sunrise would have a new onsite advocate. There would be an expanded network of physicians throughout the country compared to the limited amount with Humana. Out-of-area emergency care would be considered in-network. The City contacted the unions and the healthcare advisory committee. commented every year there was a risk aversion to moving this way. As he understands it, many municipalities have done this. Every year the insurance companies asked for a 10% increase in premiums annually. This is an opportunity for us to all work together to try and keep those premiums down. When they are kept down, through wellness or otherwise, everyone benefits from it, and it is not just the insurance companies harvesting that profit. He appreciated the effort and thanked Risk Manager Bill Mason. We will have to watch this year-to-year, but this is a good first step to manage our own healthcare. thanked Mr. Mason for taking time to answer his questions. He thought the PCHS system was quite robust. The number and quality of physicians was incredible. He thought it would be great. asked what the reserve amount would be. City Manager Alan Cohen stated $4.1 million. asked how much was required and if it would be at the maximum level.

5 negotiations with the mall, City Attorney Kimberly Kisslan proved she was professional and composed. He complimented Mr. Lubelski as well. Two garages would be built and then leased back to the mall and managed by the mall. Some of the structures would be used for valet parking. They would be used by the City as training facilities and ancillary parking for overflow from other large entities in the area. It was a great example of a public/private partnership. A special assessment area would be created and paid for by the mall. asked if there would be a payment for parking. He asked if there would be the availability of metered or paid parking in the future. City Manager Alan Cohen replied that it would not be wired for meters, but the City would share in the profits of the valet parking. said it would make sense to wire the garage prior to being built. replied that most places have a centralized meter. City Manager Alan Cohen said that the valet parking would not be free. The remainder of the garage would be free. said that if they chose to have a payment system, he did not want Sunrise to bear the burden of the cost of installing a payment system in the future. City Attorney Kimberly Kisslan stated that the City would share in the valet parking revenue. It was the City s garage. They were not authorized to make it paid parking on the other floors. asked if it was going to be a special tax district. He asked if this was going to be a special tax district, too.

City Manager Alan Cohen. Timothy Welch, Utilities Director. MOTION A motion to approve Item 4AG was made by Assistant Deputy Mayor Rosen and seconded by. The City needed to consider using purple pipe, i.e. water reuse. Deputy Mayor Sofield stated that the city made decisions for today, and for tomorrow. Reuse was a loss in money today, but in the future, there will be restrictions on using canal water. He toured the Pompano Beach reuse plant. Pompano Beach watered their golf course with reuse. The reuse protected the land from salt water intrusion. Water was wasted every day. Sunrise missed an opportunity to run a line north and south along Pine Island Road. said if the City was interested in installing the purple pipe, natural gas lines should be run as well. The gas could get to the street, but the line would have to be extended to the house, and the house would have to be replumbed for gas. He asked about the credits for reuse. Mr. Welch responded that the City has maximized the credits by placing the reuse close to the plants. There was purple pipe on the golf course. asked if it would be metered. Mr. Welch stated the homes would have a meter. The expected the dry lots to utilize it. 11

12 asked if there could be a surcharge for the pipe. He said if the city was going to lose money on the water, it should try to make some back on the gas. Mr. Welch stated that the $2.4 million was for service and meters for every property. The owner would have to pay for the plumbing connection for the irrigation meter, and the permit. The City could charge back the costs. Pompano Beach was installing the hardware and recovering the costs. asked which of the new developments would have to have purple pipe. Mr. Welch replied an ordinance was being prepared for that purpose. The businesses volunteered to install purple pipe. All developments would be examined for utility services. said he would not support this measure. He thought that new projects should have natural gas. But with existing homes, it was very expensive to run the lines and refit the homes. He would rather see this go to large irrigation projects rather than to residences. One of the items being explored was the use of reservoir water first. SFWMD and FDEP would allow the use of reservoir water as a lower cost. At first he thought purple pipe would be the best choice, but now he knew of better alternatives. commented that initially he would have supported the measure, but hearing s concerns, he needed more information at this point before he could make a decision. He asked for the matter to be tabled. said the City should have a sustainability workshop. This was about a services contract, but the consequences were enormous. If there was salt water intrusion, it would be costly. One strategy was to install purple pipe, but not deliver the water. Problems could occur if the line was not used. He did not think there was enough information tonight to make a decision. He asked if this could be tabled for the next 30 to 60 days. City Manager Alan Cohen responded that there was time to make a final decision on the purple pipe, but authorize the resolutions tonight. He asked how much time the contractor would need before it would be too late for purple pipe. Mr. Welch said two to three months. asked if they would have to go through redesign. Mr. Welch said it was logistically easier to add it in now, but it could be added in later with not too much trouble. 12

13 Tom Jensen, Malcolm Pirnie, asked if there would be a problem going through Community Development. He wanted to know if it would be an issue. He otherwise had no problem. Andres Diaz, Ric-Man, said it was not an issue. asked if they agreed on the timeframe. Mr. Jensen said once awarded, it would take about sixty days. City Manager Alan Cohen said the Commission could move forward tonight, and address the concerns of the Commission at a later date. said it was substantial information that was needed. The City needed to know the alternatives, the experience of other communities, and the impact on the Utilities budget. The analysis was substantial. Mr. Welch replied that operationally it would be straight forward, but it was the economics of the issue that would be difficult to ascertain. asked reverse osmosis would be used. Mr. Welch stated it would be deep sand filtration with disinfection. This method would cost $6/gallon versus $10 to $11/gallon with reverse osmosis. commented to the City Manager that this issue, and other large, impactful issues, should either be discussed in a workshop, or individually with the commissioners. It had too many consequences to be discussed under these circumstances. asked if the bid would expire if it was tabled tonight. Mr. Welch said the bid would expire in about 45 to 60 days. wondered if staff would be able to discuss the complexity of the issues within 30 days. did not want the project to get started only to find out it was too late to put in the pipe. asked if the bid could be extended. City Manager Alan Cohen said the bid was opened on June 11 th. There were 30 days left to accept. 13

14 said that this was about replacing pipe in a particular area. The City may have to go back out to bid. City Manager Alan Cohen replied the bid could be placed on an agenda for August 26 th. Mr. Welch commented that the vendor could extend the bid for longer than 90 days. City Attorney Kimberly Kisslan said August 26 th was scheduled as a workshop. answered that a Special Meeting could be scheduled. MOTION A motion to table Item 4AG to August 26, 2014 at 4:45 p.m. was made by. City Manager Alan Cohen said that this would be the only item on the agenda. These items would be tabled to August 26 th. SECOND seconded the motion to table. AH.

Mr. Welch explained the goals of water reuse. Credits would be given for reuse. City Manager Alan Cohen stated it was an economic analysis of water reuse.
