MOVED by McCluskey, SECONDED by Dakan that the Council authorize the issuance of warrants for any property acquired at the appraisal prices. MOTION CARRIED (GROUP INSURANCE POLICY) The Mayor introduced Mr. Jim Hoffman who represents Grange Mutual Life Insurance Company from Harrison Frank Agency here in Caldwell. The Mayor said that he was there to present to the Council his proposal on group insurance for all of the City employees as well as a policy excluding the Police and Fire Departments. Mr. Hoffman stated that it would be to the City's advantage to have a combined policy including the Police and Fire Department as this would bring the premium down as well as make available family or dependent coverage for all employees. Each employee would have to be contacted as to whether they would want this coverage. He suggested a letter to be sent to each employee explaining the 60g deduction for this coverage. If the Police and Fire Department were to drop their coverage from Southwestern, the City would have to check as to whether there was a thirty day clause in the contract. If so'the proposal or contract drawn up by Grange Mutual would have to read that the Fire and Police Department coverage would begin on July 1st, 1975, where the other employees policy would read as of June 1st, 1975. Mr. Hoffman stated that he would give the City a figure in December of each year for the next year's premium so that this could be taken into consideration when preparing the budget. MOVED by Williams, SECONDED by Banks that the City accept the insurance proposal of Grange Mutual for $12,000 coverage for the Police and Fire Department at a rate of $5.16 with $2.30 paid by the employee and $2.86 paid by the City; and $3,000 coverage for all other employees at a rate of $1 ;29 with 64p paid by the employee and 65� paid by the City. The premium would be 60� more to be paid by the individual if spouse and children were to be included. This would be effective June 1st, 1975, providing that there was not a 30 day clause with the Police and Fire Department's current policy. If there was such a clause, the Police and Fire Department would be effective on July lst, 1975. MOTION CARRIED Mr. Hoffman also asked for the Council's approval to send a letter to the City Department Heads explaining the policy and particularly the employee's choice as to coverage of spouse and children. The Council agreed to this procedure. (PROPERTY TRADE WITH OTTER - REGARDING BARN) The Mayor informed the Council that Mr. Otter would like to move the barn involved in the proposed property trade right now. The Council agreed that Mr. Otter should sign an agreement stating that if this proposed property trade did Book 16 Page 116 not go through because of the Public Hearing he would allow the barn to be sold at an auction where he moved it.
