Explanation
1. A Resolution directing the City Administrator to modify the non-union employee group
benefit package to incorporate the changes as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto relating
to health benefits. (Alison Fleming, Human Resources Manager)
Explanation: The City currently provides one health insurance plan, the Choice Plus 80/60 plan, to
eligible employees and retirees. City staff has met with the employee health committee and union
leadership and discussed cost saving options. This agenda item would modify the Choice Plus 80/60
Plan, as well as implement a high deductible health plan for the 2018 Plan Year. Modifications to the
Choice Plus 80/60 plan and the benefit structure of the high deductible health plan are outlined in
Exhibit A. All four unions have agreed to these terms. These changes are expected to help control longterm
healthcare costs and provide a cost savings to the City, the total amount of which is dependent
upon enrollment in each plan. Additional documentation attached.
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Fiscal Impact: Savings to the Health Fund
Public Notice/Recording: N/A
Goals Impacted: Financially Strong City
2. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute an Agreement between BiState
Regional Commission and the Governments of East Moline, Milan, Moline, Rock
Island, Silvis, and Rock Island County, Illinois, for contractual services related to the
preparation and monitoring of a contract for Enterprise Zone application assistance and
requiring each of the municipalities to pay a share of the cost for said Agreement.
(Ray Forsythe, Planning & Development Director)
Explanation: The Cities of East Moline, Moline, Rock Island and Silvis, the Village of Milan, and the
County of Rock Island applied to designate an area as an Enterprise Zone for certification by the Illinois
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity; however, the application was not granted. The
member communities of the Quad City Enterprise Zone now wish to retain a firm for contractual
services related to the holding and administration of a contract for a new Enterprise Zone application
assistance and technical support. The City’s share of the cost for said services is $25,749. Bi-State will
be responsible for administering the contract. Additional documentation attached. This item will also
appear on the City Council Agenda on October 17, 2017, under “Items Not on Consent.”
Staff Recommendation: Approval
Fiscal Impact: -$25,749 from Account No. 010-0715-463.03-22
