Wick made a motion to accept the election results as presented,declaring the following winning
candidates: Mayor, Rick Schultr; Council Members Anne Buckvold and Brian Theisen. The

2019 Emplovee Health Insurance: Weyrens reported that she has received a request from AFSME to re-
consider how the health insurance is administered. As the City is considered small group, the premiums
are age banded which results in disproportionate cost sharing. The City could participate in the
Resources Training and Solutions Coop, which would allow the City to provide insurance as a large group
having one rate for single and one for family. AFSCME is requesting the Council considering increasing
the cap for family coverage if small group insurance is the option, or increasing the cap for both single
and family if the large group option is selection.
The Council expressed concern with opening the contract for insurance as if you open for one bargaining
unit, they must do the same for the other unit. By consensus the Council was not agreeable to opening
the contract regarding insurance.
Adiourn: Schultr made a motion to adjourn at 7:50 AM; seconded by Wick and passed
unanimously by t present.
