IV. VILLAGE'S BENEFIT COMPENSATION PROGRAM
In July of this year, the Village adopted the necessary
initial documents to implement a Flexible Benefit Program
for our employees. At that time, employee contributions for
their portion of the Health Insurance Plan was the only item
included in that Plan. In an employee survey taken earlier
in the year, the respondentstindicated their desire for
greater medical benefits and expressed an interest in
pursuing flexible benefit identification.
Subsequently, with the help of A. S. Hansen, Inc., we were
able to construct a Benefit Plan that satisfies IRS require-
ments and yet permits employee discretion in choosing
benefits that are applicable to his or her family situation.
This Plan is commonly referred to as a Cafeteria of "" Benef its
whereby an employee can increase s ome benefits through
either increased payroll deductions or the reduction of
other benefits. These Plans have been approved by the IRS
and we recommend their consideration by the Mayor and Board
of Trustees.
A,
Attached for your review is a memorandum from the Village
Manager's office, an explanation of the mechanics of the
system by Mr. Jepson and the Plan document itself as
prepared by A. S. Hansen. A representative of Hansen's
office as well' as -Mr. Jepson will be available at the
meeting to review the Plan in detail. If The Village Board
agrees with the recommendations, it will be necessary to
take action at a subsequent Village Board meeting so that
the Plan can be placed,into operation by February 1, 1986.
V SAFETY BONUS SYSTEM
As assigned by the Mayor and Board of Trustees, the Execu-
tive Safety ConTnittee has been evaluating various formats to
implement a Safety Bonus Awa.rd Program. Periodically, we
have distributed to each of you copies of the Executive
Safety ConTnittee reports and minutes.
While the staff has diligently examined numerous opportuni-
ties to implement such a Program, the concept of a Bonus
System is not workable or measurable in t h e V i I I a,g e
Manager's opinion. I recorrrnend that in lieu of a Bonus
Program, the $6,000 appropriation presently in the budget be
earmarked for a Safety and Health Awareness Program
administered through the Village Manager's office and funded
through the Risk Management account. Our current safety
record for this s 'current budget year anticipates the savings
of some $57,000 of initial budget projections. A Safety and
Health Awareness Program would give us the opportunity of
maintaining that level of achievement.
