MEDICAL COMMITTEE REPORT

David Peters stated that with further review of their recommendation to increase the medical premium rates, they have decided to change the increase from 3% for actives and 7% for retired to 2.5% for active and 7% for retired. He stated that the decision was based on the information obtained about active members not receiving a subsidy increase for the second year. He mentioned that the increased rate allows them to continue to offer the plan enhancements that were offered at the last Board meeting.

The committee recommends and I so move to change the medical premium rate increases from 3% for actives and 7% for retired to 2.5% for active and 7% for retired. He also mentioned that they were able to change the ambulance benefit to 100% coverage for emergency transportation in and out of network and 80% for non-PPO non emergency transportation. There was no further discussion or objections.

Motion carried to approve the change in medical premium rate increases from 3% for actives and 7% for retired to 2.5% for actives and 7% for retired.
