WITH COMPBENEFITS TO PROVIDE GROUP DENTAL AND VISION INSURANCE

DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNT NUMBERS RESPECTIVELY; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Reason /Need: We have received renewal rates from our current group dental and vision insurance
carrier, CompBenefits. CompBenefits proposed a 10.0 % increase for the Dental coverage
and 0.0% increase for the Vision coverage.
The insurance Committee met and reviewed the proposed rates. The Committee

George Greene
Lisa Morton
James McCants
Maria Stout -Tate
Lorenzo Woodley
Slaven Kobola

Code Enforcement
Motor Pool (AFSCME)
Police (PBA)
South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency
Parks & Recreation
Parks & Recreation
Public Works & Engineering
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.
