MODIFYING THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
GROUP HEALTH PLAN
WHEREAS, health care costs are rising at a rate of 20 percent per
year; and
WHEREAS, the City cannot continue to absorb all of these costs; and
WHEREAS, the City's current health plan does not contain incentives
which promote consumer awareness in the selection of health care services;
and
WHEREAS, both the City and its employees support the fair treatment of
employees in compensation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council asked that staff make recommendations to
address the rising cost of health care being borne by the City; and
WHEREAS, key policy parameters have been identified with regard to
this issue and the following changes to the City's health plan for
employees would best address the problems identified above.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS as follows:
Section 1. That the City's health plan be modified to increase the
deductible from $100 per individual and $300 per family to $200 per
individual and $500 per family, effective April 1, 1990.
Section 2. That a $10 co-payment for each office visit, to be paid by

Section 3. That the maximum premium to be paid by the City be
increased to $235 per month for family coverage, effective January 8, 1990.
Section 4. That the policy of total compensation (meaning a measure
which includes the cost of salary, health care, vacation, holidays, sick
leave, and all other benefits together) is the appropriate method for
determining guidelines for setting the level of salaries and benefits paid
to employees. Further, the City Manager is directed to prepare a workplan
addressing implementation of a total compensation policy and to present
same to Council for its consideration by early February, 1990.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held this
