A-032304-4 ITEM NO. E-2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: March 23, 2004 AGENDA�ITEM: Request to approve health insurance rates for fiscal year 2004-2005 SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens Director of Finance APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: Recommend approval of the rates and structure as proposed by staff. Diane Hyatt and Rebecca Owens have negotiated an excellent benefit for Roanoke County employees. Please remember that there was no increase in health care rates last year. The proposed rates are much lower than staff had originally anticipated. In addition, we are also proposing to shift more of the County's contribution from single employee coverage to family coverage to be consistent with other localities in the area. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The County of Roanoke and Roanoke County Schools participate in a joint health insurance program for their eligible employees. As the County is self insured with respect to health insurance provided to County and School eligible employees, the County purchases administrative services, access to the network physicians and facilities, and claims administration from Anthem. The Anthem contract also provides excess risk coverage that limits the County's dollar liability for any individual plan participant and the group as a whole. On February 23, 2004, Anthem presented a proposal for a 12.3% increase for fiscal year 2004-2005. Subsequently, this increase was negotiated down to an overall increase of 9.7%. This increase compares favorably to national and regional trends of 12% to 14%. While no benefit changes will be made for the 2004-2005 plan year, some of the factors that contributed to this increase in expenses are: • The enrollment in the plan has increased more than 6% during the last year. • Net medical claims paid increased 12.1 % and prescription drug expenses increased 6.3% from the prior year. • The incidence of large claims paid on the plan also increased this year to 21 claimants with claims over $50,000 compared to 15 claimants a year ago. • The average per claim for inpatient and outpatient hospital care continues to track higher than Anthem's norms. Admission rates for the County and Schools, however are tracking lower than Anthem's average. • The top claim payments on the plan were for treatment of patients with a cancer diagnosis, followed by circulatory conditions. • The average number of prescriptions per member increased 5.6% this year and the average cost to the patient increased 2.5%. Implementation will not be an issue as the current insurance cards will remain valid. Only those employees who are new or those wishing to change coverage will need to enroll or re -enroll. Attachment A shows the current and proposed rates for County eligible employees as well as the monthly increase in cost. The percentage paid by the employer and employee was restructured to be more comparable with neighboring localities. The School Board is scheduled to consider this proposal at their meeting on March 22, 2004. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of the renewal at an overall increase of 9.7% will increase the County budget $251,244 and the School budget $771,063. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the attached health insurance rates with Anthem for fiscal year 2004-2005. 6 2 VOTE: Supervisor Church motion to approve staff recommendation Motion Approved cc: File Rebecca Owens, Director, Finance Diane Hyatt, Chief Financial Officer Penny Hodge, Director, Budget and Data Management Joe Sgroi, Director, Human Resources Dr. Linda Weber, Schools Superintendent Brenda Chastain, Clerk to School Board 3 Yes No Abs Mr. McNamara ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Church ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Wray ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Altizer ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Flora ® ❑ ❑ cc: File Rebecca Owens, Director, Finance Diane Hyatt, Chief Financial Officer Penny Hodge, Director, Budget and Data Management Joe Sgroi, Director, Human Resources Dr. Linda Weber, Schools Superintendent Brenda Chastain, Clerk to School Board 3 0 d N CA O tY r L CO Cn T O Cl) LO 0 LO co r r U C C/) i Il0OI`N V +: CN O N ~ N C O O + Cu D m E Q—) aii ct1 1'� U U w U)— U_ _ L E -0Vcn U) LL 2 H- OOOCD O Co in Ch C) co O O — N LO N CD U E c W o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 N O O O O M O0 CCD co CMO. 000. 7 M N N Ed r C Cc7 COr1 W a) O N co co CA coC07 0 co 0O N� O(D M N n E t1 T CO T T Cl) T _ W C CD 0 00Cn,�0 Q G NCCDDCC)N 00 C O C CD I-� vi N CO N I" r - CC 0 (D N N — LOC CCO CO a CO U,) (0 0 O I CM a0-00CL mCC) t L It N m co Il- C_C) O O a) LO LO 0 tl Cf) It co co co LO CC) co a� a> cl 0 0 U U c c U U er C- o C-6 O 7E O 00 C r r 000 r r + + O L U CM L U cm 0 CO .(D .fl co a) U U—_ N d .10� E c�� E r- Ucnu)LL12 cccoU L2i d N CA O tY r L CO Cn T O Cl) LO 0 LO co r r U C C/) i Il0OI`N V +: CN O N ~ N C O O + Cu D m E Q—) aii ct1 1'� U U w U)— U_ _ L E -0Vcn U) LL 2 H- ACTION NO. A-032304-5 ITEM NUMBER E-3 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: March 23, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: Request to renew the program to compensate Roanoke County employees activated for federally funded military duty for the difference between regular pay and the military pay received SUBMITTED BY: Joe Sgroi Director of Human Resources APPROVED BY: Elmer C. Hodge County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S CQMMENTS: It is anticipated that departments will be able to absorb the cost of this supplement within their budgets. If they are unable to do so, this matter will be brought back to the Board at a later date for approval of additional funding. SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The Board of Supervisors approved a military supplement program for the period October, 2002, through September, 2003. Between the dates of October 1, 2002, and September 30, 2003, four Roanoke County employees were called to active duty. These four employees have since returned from duty and have continued employment with Roanoke County. The County did not have to compensate any of these employees due to the fact that their military income was greater than their County rate of pay. Even though there was no supplement needed for those employees, the program is a safety net in case there is a loss of income due to serving in active military service. It provides good will and heart felt support to our reservists. Currently, there are 14 Roanoke County employees that are active in the Reserves, and five have been recently called to active duty at this time. Staff is recommending that the military supplement program be renewed and approved to compensate any County employee who is a military reservist and is called to active duty related to our country's war on terrorism through September 30, 2005. An amendment was added by the General Assembly to the Code of Virginia in 2002. This amendment provided for local governments to pay employees activated for federally funded military duty all or any portion of the difference between the regular pay rate and the military pay rate. Staff conducted a survey of neighboring localities to determine how this issue was being handled. The City of Roanoke, City of Salem, and Bedford County indicated they supplement military pay upon the employee's return to work. Botetourt County has not had to address this issue. This compensation is in the form of a supplement equal to the difference between the employee's regular County salary and military base pay plus any other compensation received for military service. Employees are responsible for providing the Department of Human Resources with the necessary documentation to establish eligibility for the supplement. All other County benefits are applied in accordance to the current leave policies of the County as stated in the Employee Handbook. Employees who are reservists participating in regular annual training are not eligible for this supplement, but are compensated according to the Employee Handbook under Chapter 4, Section F, Military Leave, which provides 15 days of paid leave per year (October 1 through September 30). FISCAL IMPACT: Military pay was greater than the employees' pay for the four employees called to and returning from active duty. No supplemental pay was needed. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the renewal of the program. 2. Do not approve the renewal of the program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of a supplement through September 30, 2005. At the end of this period, the Board of Supervisors should consider the termination or the continuation of this benefit. 2 VOTE: Supervisor Altizer motion to approve staff recommendation Motion Approved cc: File Joe Sgroi, Director, Human Resources Rebecca Owens, Director, Finance Yes No Abs Mr. McNamara ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Church ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Wray ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Altizer ® ❑ ❑ Mr. Flora ® ❑ ❑ cc: File Joe Sgroi, Director, Human Resources Rebecca Owens, Director, Finance AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA, HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON MARCH 23, 2004 RESOLUTION 032304-�6 AUTHORIZING RENEWAL OF A LEASE OF REAL ESTATE FROM LEE C.
