Summary
Council approved staff's recommendation for an HRA with Wellmark (partial self-funded, Tristar-administered) with $5,000 single/$10,000 family deductibles and a buy-down option; a self-funded dental plan managed by Tristar was also approved.
The Denison City Council on Dec. 3 approved staff-recommended changes to employee health and dental coverage, adopting an HRA with Wellmark and a self-funded dental plan administered by Tristar.
City Clerk Jodie Flaherty presented the recommendation, saying staff favored a partially self-funded HRA administered by Tristar with a $5,000 single/$10,000 family deductible and an option to buy down to $2,500/$5,000. Flaherty said the proposed dental plan would also be self-funded and managed by Tristar.
Councilmember Zupp-Smith moved to approve the HRA with Wellmark and the Tristar-administered dental plan; Councilmember Curnyn seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
No dollar cost estimates, premium rates or projected city contributions were provided in the meeting record; the transcript notes only the deductible levels and administration arrangement. The council did not record any amendments to the recommendation. The council's decision directs staff to implement the insurance changes consistent with the plan terms.
