Reason /Need: We have received renewal rates from our current group dental and vision insurance

The Insurance Committee made a recommendation to the City Commission to renew with
CompBenefits for another year without any changes to the current benefit plan designs.
The City would cover the 50% of the employee rate for Dental of $24.70 which is $12.35.
Based on current enrollment assumptions (125 FTE), the annual increase from this year
to next year would be approximately $18,525.00. Current staffing levels are at 144 full
time employees.
