II. Emergency Funding for Health Insurance. (Human Resources Director Williford
and Acting Finance Director Briggs)
In November 2007, the City of Ocoee began a self-insurance plan for health care coverage to its employees and
dependents. In April 2008, the City opened its own health care clinic to contain medical costs and provide
efficient medical services to the City's employees and their families. By self-insuring and providing medical
services through the clinic, the City has realized substantial savings over the years of approximately$600,000
yearly.
During the past year the City has experienced several major medical claims that have strained the City's medical
financial accounts. The claims have resulted in a required increase to our surplus level of$200,000. Staff
recommends City Commission approve a transfer from general fund accounts for the emergency funding of
$200,000 to the Health Insurance Fund. Enterprise funds will reimburse the General Fund when specific
accounts have been identified.
