Session 1234, Minutes Page 5 December 17, 1979 Councilman Kelley asked T1r. Goldman if he felt the possibility of traffic jams had been alleviated with the change in plans, and Mr. Goldman said he felt it had. In response to a question from Councilman Glickert, Mr. Schicke said the expected peak of business would be during the lunch hour, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Councilman Adams called for the question, and all voted Aye. HEALTH AND MEDICAL INSURANCE POLICY The City Manager said the Board of Trustees of the Non -Uniformed Employees Pension Plan moved unanimously at its last meeting that the Council provide financial sup- port for health and medical insurance premiums to prospective early retirees of the City who had 30 years of service and attained the age of 62 years. The support would equal the then current contribution which the City made toward the premium for a single employee and would continue until the age of 65 or until the employee was certified for Medicare. The impact on the current budget would be insignificant. Also, the Boardnmoved unanimously that prospective early retirees be permitted to m nn,t4. remain in the group health and medical insurance plan of the City until qualifiedsy�� for Medicare. The premium cost of membership for such employees would be financed entirely by the retirees, and there would be no financial consequence for the City budget. In answer to a question from Councilman Adams, Mr. Ellman said this would apply to prospective retirees only. Councilman Sabol moved approval of both provisions, as stated above. The motion was seconded by Councilman Metcalfe and passed unanimously. PERSONNEL REPORT The Personnel report for the week ending December 15, 1979, was received and ordered filed.
