You have. already received a current list of com- missions and commission members. In reviewing these, it should be noted in some cases there are more members than our ordinances provide for and there are also some conflicts pertaining to length of terms. Either the ordinance should be changed or the commissions amended to meet our ordinances. Additionally, there may be some commissions that no longer meet regularly, if at all, and some thought might be directed to their elimination. One thought might be to appoint all commission members to annual terms except for the HRA commission, which by statute provides for five year terms. It may be argued that by the time a commission member familiarizes himself with the commissionts duties and purpose his term is up. However., a member can be reappointed for another term. It also allows a less active member to be replaced in a relatively short time ij- rather than waiting 3-$. years. POSSIBLE ACTION: Recommendations ,for appointment of commissions and members for 1976. This will allow time for prospective members to be contacted and greatly expedite this matter the first meeting in January. Agenda Item 2. Review of applicants for Liquor Store Manager. Iam enclosing a list of applicants for the position of liquor store manager.. POSSIBLE .ACTION: Attempt to narrow choice to 314 individuals and. then. council could inter- view these applicanto. Agenda Item 3. Review of wages, for 1076- I:nclosed you will :find, the base salary schedule for city employees for 1973-75. Some consideration should be given to the possibility of the cl ly picking up the entire group insurance' costs for employees and increasing the coverage. 'Q dh �J I have reviewed several insurance plans with local agents and would recommend Bankers Life Insurance should the benefits be increased. Listed below is a schedule comparing our present coverage with proposed coverage: PROPOSED PRESENT Life insurance $5,000 $5,000 Accidental death $5,000 -0- dismemberment 2/3 income for 213 income for 26 weeks (max. 13 weeks (max. $150/week). $50/week). Hospital coverage $60 a day $4U a day Major medical $250,000 $25,000 80% first 80% first $2,000- 100% $5,000 - 100% over $2,000 over $5,000 Maternity benefits payable under not payable under major medical major medical - allowance of $300 If the city were to increase the benefits and pick up the entire insurance premium it would mean an additional $37 per employee except for Walter Mack, Alta Parnick, Karen Hanson and Mary Jo Quick, who do not have their dependents covered and, there- fore would not benefit by the city picking up the entire tab. POSSTBLE ACTION: Setting up wage scale effective January 1, 1976 and decision on in:lurance coverage. Agenda Item 4.
