Renewal premiums for the City's current healthcare program have come in at a 5.04% increase over the current year. Last year we experienced a 7.90% increase and in 2011-12 the increase was 8.83%. In comparative terms, the rate increase is moderate as many employers are experiencing sharp double-digit rate increases. Also, the City’s healthcare costs remain well below the “hard cap limits” set by PA 152 and remain cost competitive with the standards set by EVIP for new hires. These are good independent indicators that the City’s program is cost- effective. For 2012-13, the City will continue to pay the HRA deductible if the employee and spouse complete the four-step wellness initiative prior to April 30th; non-participants in the wellness program will continue to pay the first $500 (single)/ $1,000 (double/family) of the deductible. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Following is an estimate of gross premium costs for the Priority Health HMO program compared with the current healthcare plan year: 2013 14 2012 13 Single Double Family Single Double Family Monthly Premium $ 432.74 $ 973.67 $ 1,168.40 $ 411.99 $ 926.96 $ 1,112.37 Rate Increase 5.04% 5.04% 5.04% 7.90% 7.90% 7.90% Annual Premium 5,192.88 11,684.04 14,020.80 4,943.88 11,123.52 13,348.44 Current # Employees 28 41 132 35 40 134 Total Annual Premium 145,400.64 479,045.64 $ 1,850,745.60 173,035.80 444,940.80 $ 1,788,690.96 2,475,191.88 2,406,667.56 Add: HRA Deductibles Paid by City 160,000.00 140,056.47 Less: 10% Employee Premium Copays (247,519.19) ( 182,471.00) $2,387,672.69 $2,364,253.03 Equals: Employer Cost 2013 PA 152 Hard Cap Limits PA 152 Hard Cap Limits $ 5,692.50 $ 11,385.00 $ 15,525.00 $ 5,500.00 $ 11,000.00 $ 15,000.00 159,390.00 466,785.00 2,049,300.00 192,500.00 440,000.00 2,010,000.00 $2,675,475.00 $2,642,500.00 Full-time City employees now pay 10% of the above premium costs through payroll deduction.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Authorize staff to execute documents with Priority Health to renew employee healthcare coverage for the coming year. 1 Commission Meeting Date: April 9, 2013 Date: March 28, 2013 To: Honorable Mayor & City Commission From: Planning & Economic Development Department RE: Environmental Program Mowing and Trash Clean- up Contract SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The contract for mowing of lots and trash clean up of public and private properties previously held by Earth Creations LLC. had expired on March 31, 2013. A request for bids was advertised and five companies placed bids. Earth Creations LLC of North Muskegon is the low bidder for a two-year agreement. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None - Funds budgeted for this activity. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve a 2 year contract with Earth Creations LLC. and to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreements, for the mowing of lots and trash removal on properties located within the city. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None Planning Department Memo To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission From: Hope Mitchell, Code Coordinator Date: March 28, 2013 Re: Environmental mowing & trash contract bids Staff requested bids for a possible two year contract with an optional contract extension typically set at two years. The bid documents also had an area for submission of a three year bid with an option to extend that, which is typically set at two years. This request for bids resulted in five submissions from area contractors to perform the services needed and are shown in the tables located later in this document. Because of the varying prices submitted by the different bidders, staff would like to recommend that a two year contract be awarded to Earth Creations LLC with a two year extension possible. Awarding contracts as indicated would be accepting the low bidder, Earth Creations LLC. The reasoning for the two year agreement with Earth Creations LLC is that they had submitted a bid for a two year contract due to the rising costs of gas prices. Staff believes that the management of two contractors, versus one contractor, would still be the best to do.

In the event, (whether or not the installations have been completed), the Company has not expended the funds it has represented on its application that it would invest for the installation of equipment, the abatement shall be reduced prorata, and any remaining value of equipment shall be placed on the regular tax roll. 4.4 Job Creation and Retention. In the event the promised number of jobs have not been created or retained at the end of the two (2) years after the grant of the certificate by the State Tax Commission, the abatement shall be proportionately reduced. 4.5 Affirmative Action Goals.

Page 4 4.7 Special Assessment. For any amount due to be paid to the City, under this Section 4, the Company consents that the City shall have a personal action against the Company for the said amount, and in addition, cumulatively, and not by election, the City shall have a special assessment lien on all the property of the Company personal and real, located in the City, for the collection of the amounts due as and in the manner of property taxes and in such case the collection of the said special assessment shall be accomplished by addition by the City to the Company’s property tax statement regularly rendered. 5.
