Regular City Council Meeting <br />August 14, 2003 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />plus the city provides $15,000.00 life insurance per employee and that cost is <br />approximately $50.00 a year. He advised that there was long-term disability. <br />Councilman Guest stated that there is a 13% increase that is going to happen. <br />Mr. Anderson advised that talking with TML and letting them help analyze the <br />city's claim data, they recommended $487.00 or $497.00 contribution a month <br />per employee and they feel that $500.00 will cover the claims.
