COMMITTEE REPORTS: FINANCE ALDERMAN RYAN MAYHEW, CHAIRMAN DISCUSS, CONSIDER AND VOTE ON A RESOLUTION TO INCLUDE CASH PAYMENTS RELATED TO HEALTH INSURANCE AS IMRF EARNINGS The City offers employees an incentive to opt out of the group health insurance for the employee or the spouse. If the employee or spouse opts out of the insurance the City pays a spousal opt out incentive in the amount of$450.00 per quarter to the employee. These have been allowed as reportable wages to IMRF. In December 2017 IMRF now requires municipalities to adopt a resolution and have it on file if the municipality wants to continue to have the spousal opt out incentive dollars as reportable earnings for IMRF. The City currently has approximately 15 employees participating in the opt out program. The annual cost to the City is approximately$3200.00 for opt out program. This will be tabled until the next meeting. BUDGET MEETING The City will hold a budget meeting on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 at 5:30pm at the Historic Depot.
