Committee backs recommendation that employees submit insurance claims until $2,500 deductible
Summary
At a Jan. 7 meeting, the Police, Fire, and Personnel Committee voted 3-0 to recommend that employees submit their own insurance claims and that the city not reimburse anything until a $2,500 deductible is met. The recommendation will be forwarded to the council for consideration.
The Police, Fire, and Personnel Committee recommended on Jan. 7, 2025, that employees submit their own insurance claims and that the city not reimburse any costs until a $2,500 deductible has been reached.
The recommendation, moved by committee member Jesse Swing and seconded by committee member Dave Carlson, passed on a 3-0 vote. Swing framed the change as a limit on automatic reimbursement, saying employees should "submit their own claims and not reimburse anything until the $2500 deductible." The committee recorded the vote as 3 Ayes, 0 Nayes.
Committee members said the item was intended to clarify how automatic reimbursements for insurance claims would be handled going forward. The motion was recorded as a recommendation to the full council; the council will receive the committee's recommendation for any final policy change.
The committee meeting began at 5:05 p.m. and adjourned at 5:50 p.m. The recommendation carries a clear numeric threshold ($2,500) for when reimbursements would be considered; the city council will decide whether to adopt the committee’s recommendation into policy.
