AGENDA ITEM NO. 1: Authorize staff to advertise for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for insurance broker.
This item was deferred from the February 19, 2008 regular City Commission meeting. Human Resources Director Kellie Howard explained to the Commission that the qualifications of the broker had been broadened so that both local and out-of-town brokers would be able to submit qualifications.
Ms. Howard stressed that money would not be taken away from employees to pay broker fees nor would any employee’s medical information be given to the broker. In response to a comment made at the February 19th meeting, she assured the board that she would never be a party to anything that would waste taxpayer’s money.
Ms. Howard estimated broker fees at $15,000 or less and also stated that the broker would be utilized for a six-month period.
In response to a question from Commissioner Stephens, Ms. Howard affirmed that once the broker issue was approved, insurance negotiations and selection would be back in the hands of city management.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Peterson, seconded by Commissioner Holt, to approve authorization of staff to advertise for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for insurance broker. Motion carried 5-2
AYE: Peterson, Holt, Stephens, Mills, Young
NAY: Schrzan, O’Neal
