RESOLUTION NO.: 2022-18
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ESTABLISHING CITY CONTRIBUTION
TO EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR 2022
WHEREAS, the Scandia City Council has determined that it is the best interest of the City to
provide a health insurance plan to help maintain the health of its current employees and to enable the city
to attract and retain a quality workforce; and
WHEREAS, health insurance coverage for non-union full-time and eligible part-time employees
is provided by the Minnesota Public Employees Insurance Program’s (PEIP) Advantage Health Savings
Account (HSA) Plan, a high-deductible health insurance plan. The deductible is the amount the employee
must pay toward certain covered services each year before the Claims Administrator begins to pay benefits;
and
WHEREAS, the City has been contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) for covered non-
union employees of $105/month for those on a single plan and $140/month for those on a family plan
since 2007. In 2017, HSA contributions were increased to $120/month for those on a single plan and
$160/month for those on a family plan. Funds in the HSA account may be used to pay for medical
expenses that are not reimbursed by the high-deductible health plan; and
WHEREAS, deductible amounts have been increasing over the years without an increase to the
City’s contributions to an employee’s HSA account; and
WHEREAS, it is now necessary to increase the City’s contribution to those on a family plan;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby
does approve the City of Scandia’s contribution to the total cost of providing health insurance benefits
shall be as follows: 100% of premium for single coverage, 80% of premium for family coverage,
$125/month HSA contribution for those on single plan and $500/month for those on a family plan,
retroactive for HSA contributions beginning in January 2022.
Adopted by the Scandia City Council this 1st day of June, 2022.
