[00:15:04]

ADOPTION SCHEDULE. THANK YOU SIR. REPORT ON THIS IS MR. ERNEST. OKAY. THANK YOU AGAIN.

MAYOR. THIS IS THE SECOND READING OF THIS ORDINANCE FOR VACATING A THREE FOOT WIDE EASEMENT. THIS IS TO THE RESIDENTS HAVE REQUESTED IT TO BRING THE POOL ENCLOSURE BACK INTO COMPLIANCE SO THAT THEY CAN DO RESCREEN AND REPAIRS. PREVIOUSLY, COUNCIL HAD INQUIRED WHAT THE COST WAS FOR DOING ONE OF THESE ABANDONED AND VACATE REQUESTS FOR EASEMENTS. THAT'S APPROXIMATELY $780 FOR THE PROCESS, AND THEN WE CHARGE A DIRECT FEE BASED ON THE ADVERTISING COST ON TOP OF THAT. SO 780 FOR THE CITY COST. AND THEN WE PASS ALONG THE ADVERTISEMENT COST FOR THE ABANDONED AND VACATE. SO THAT'S USUALLY AROUND 3 TO $400. OKAY.

THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS MAYOR REAL QUICK I'M NOT GOING TO REHASH OLD BUSINESS. YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS. NOW WE'VE GOT THE NUMBERS $780 PLUS THREE, $400 ON A MISTAKE THAT A CONTRACTOR, A BUILDER MADE. AND SO THIS IS YEARS LATER. SO I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME PATHWAY AND HOW WE CAN REMEDY THIS FOR THE CITIZEN, FOR THE FOR THE HOMEOWNER, THE RESIDENT, SO THAT THEY'RE NOT BURDENED WITH THIS COST AND THIS WHOLE OPERATION OF SORTS. THAT'S ALL.

I'M STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOU ALL. MISS LAMBE, THERE'S A COUPLE OPTIONS HERE. CITY ATTORNEY JUST BROUGHT ONE OF THEM UP. WE COULD ADD THIS AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW INSTEAD OF IT COMING TO COUNCIL. AND THEN THAT WOULD ELIMINATE SOME OF THOSE COSTS. BUT THE OTHER THING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT POOL WAS PROBABLY PUT IN 20 PLUS YEARS AGO, AND WHO KNOWS WHEN THE CAGE THE SCREEN WAS PUT IN AROUND IT. AND THESE ARE NEWER OWNERS. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THAT'S MOSTLY USUALLY THE CASE.

AND WHEN YOU BUY A HOME, WHAT DO YOU GET? YOU GET A SURVEY. AND THAT SURVEY PROBABLY SHOWED THAT POOL AND THAT ENCLOSURE AND THAT EASEMENT. SO THEY MAY JUST BE DOING CLEANUP FOR THAT.

IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE. IT'S NOT. IT'S THAT THEY GO TO REDO THEIR SCREEN AND IT'S LIKE, OH, WE NEED TO FOLLOW THE RULES THIS TIME. BUT THAT IS SOMETHING FOR US TO CONSIDER AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. AND THAT WOULD HELP REDUCE THE COSTS. OKAY. PERFECT. ANY QUESTIONS? DO YOU WANT TO GO. SHOULD WE GO IN SAY CAN WE GO FORWARD WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW. THAT WOULD BE A CODE CHANGE, AN ORDINANCE CHANGE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE'D HAVE TO BRING BACK. BUT IF THERE'S COUNCIL CONSENSUS WE CAN START WORKING ON THAT. AND MAYOR 20 YEAR OLD HOUSE. IT'S PRETTY NEW HOUSE IN THIS COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY OVER. AND IT'S BEACHSIDE. SO IT'S IN RIO VILLA. YOU KNOW I KNOW THE DISTRICT. IT'S FINE. YEAH I LIVE DOWN THE STREET. SO IT'S IT'S A LITTLE DISHEARTENING, ESPECIALLY IN THAT WHOLE AREA THAT SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT CONVERSATION. OKAY. THIS IS A QUASI ITEM. DISCLOSURES I NOTE NO DISCLOSURES. THE PUBLIC HEARING BUT WE HAVE NO SIGN UP SHEET. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL. MAYOR. SIR, APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 20 2560. OKAY. AND I'LL SECOND THAT. SO WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. LARUSSO. I'LL SECOND THAT ONE FOR ITEM NUMBER TEN. ROLL CALL.

COUNCILMEMBER. HANLEY. VICE MAYOR. KENNEDY. MAYOR ALFREY I VOTE AYE, AND THAT MOTION PASSES. HELLO, MR. ELLIS. ALL RIGHT, NOT MISS DITTMER, ITEM NUMBER 13. THIS IS A RESOLUTION

[13. Resolution No. 4394: A resolution authorizing the approval of a Locally Funded Agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation and the City of Melbourne for the Ellis Road Widening Project and authorization for the City Manager to execute the agreement.]

FOR APPROVAL OF A LOCALLY FUNDED AGREEMENT WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE ELLIS ROAD WIDENING PROJECT. THE ELLIS ROAD WIDENING PROJECT IS COUNCIL IS FAMILIAR WITH AS A PRIORITY PROJECT TO WITH SPACE COAST TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE A ENLARGED CONNECTION BETWEEN I-95 AND THE MELBOURNE ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. JULY 2023 COUNCIL COMMITTED $1.1 MILLION TO TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES FOR COUNTY ROADWAYS AND SUPPORT OF THIS REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ROADWAY. IN DECEMBER 2024, THE SPACE COAST TPO, DOT AND BREVARD COUNTY ANNOUNCED IT HAD OBTAINED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THE PROJECT. IN 2020 5TH FEBRUARY, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED AN OFF SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT AND THEN THE FINAL PHASE OF DESIGN FOR THIS PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE ADVERTISED FOR CONSTRUCTION IN JUNE OF 2026. AT THIS TIME, DOT IS REQUESTING THE CITY ENTER INTO THE LOCALLY FUNDED AGREEMENT PROVIDING FOR THE CITY'S FUNDING COMMITMENT IN ANTICIPATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. REGIONAL FUNDING COMMITMENT OF THE PROJECT IS $1.1 MILLION WAS TO BE DERIVED FROM ZONE ONE TWO OF THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES FOR COUNTY ROADWAYS. HOWEVER, DUE TO RECENT SHIFTS IN DEVELOPMENT REDEVELOPMENT PATTERNS, THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE ZONE TWO TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES FOR COUNTY ROADWAYS. FUNDING IS AVAILABLE IN THE PROJECT BUDGET PROJECT NUMBER 64126 AND WE'RE REQUESTING APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 4394 OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. ERNEST? YES. GOOD. MISS HANLEY, I THINK THE QUESTION HOW ARE WE HAVE OTHER COMMUNITIES. WE THIS IS NOT A MELBOURNE ROAD AND ELLIS ROAD IS NOT A MELBOURNE ROAD. WHERE WHERE THE WIDENING IS IT IS A COUNTY ROAD AND IS WEST MELBOURNE ROAD. SINCE I'M ON THE TPO, I LIKE TO TELL EVERYBODY HOW MUCH DID WEST MELBOURNE PUT INTO THIS ROAD? WEST MELBOURNE ALLOCATED $500,000 FOR THEIR ROAD FOR THEIR PORTION OF THE ROADWAY. BREVARD COUNTY ALLOCATED APPROXIMATELY 7.4 MILLION. AS WE DISCUSSED, WE'VE ALLOCATED 1.1 MILLION. AND THEN THE DOT HAS MADE UP THE BALANCE OF THE PROJECT BETWEEN CONSTRUCTION FUNDS, TPO FUNDS, TRIP AND FUNDS, WHICH GRANT FUNDING AND A STATE INFRASTRUCTURE BANK LOAN. SO THOSE ARE THE FOUR MAIN SOURCES OF FUNDING. THAT IS, THEY HAD TO PULL PULL IT OUT OF WEST MELBOURNE AND IT'S NOT OUR ROAD, BUT WE'RE DOING IT. I'M DOING IT. PARDON ME. I'M SORRY, MISS HANLEY, BUT I DON'T. THIS IS MONEY THAT WE COULD HAVE FOR OUR CITY ROADS, BUT WE'RE WE'RE PICKING UP THE TAB FOR WEST MELBOURNE AND WEST MELBOURNE. I BELIEVE THIS IS MAY OR MAY. THE ONLY TIME WE GET TO TALK REALLY ABOUT THIS KIND OF STUFF. THIS COLLABORATION BETWEEN MANY AGENCIES AND MANY TOWNS. WELL, I UNDERSTAND, BUT IT STARTED WITH THE THE INTERCHANGE ON 95. I MEAN, ON, ON THE 95 PARKWAY.

[00:30:01]

AND SO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INTO THE AIRPORT ALONE IS WORTH THE INVESTMENT FROM ALL THESE AGENCIES GOING INTO IT'S NOT JUST OUR THEIR ROAD, HIS ROAD, THEIR ROAD WORK, BANKING ON FDOT, FAA, WITH THEIR GRANTS. THEY LOOK AT THIS TO SEE IF WE QUALIFY FOR MANY OTHER GRANTS FOR THE AIRPORT. SO THIS IS A BROADER BRUSH. IT REALLY IS I UNDERSTAND. BUT THEY'RE WEST MELBOURNE HAD A THING OF WELL, IT'S NOT FOR THE BENEFIT OF US BUT IT'S THE ROAD. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THEY THEY HAVE SPOKEN AND SAID, WHY ARE WE PUTTING THIS MONEY UP? BECAUSE IT'S BENEFITING MELBOURNE. IT'S NOT BENEFITING OUR CITY. OKAY. THAT'S FINE OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE SAYING THAT HERE. WE PUT 1.1 AND IT'S THERE. WE'RE IT'S THEIR ROAD. BUT YET MELBOURNE IS PAYING FOR IT. THAT'S PAYING ALL OF IT.

WE'RE PAYING A PORTION. BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MAKING IT SOUND LIKE. BUT WE'RE PAYING.

WE'RE PAYING MORE THAN WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO. HOLD ON. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD.

WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. WE'RE DOING SO WELL TONIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE GOING DOWN THAT PATH. ALL RIGHT. NO, KEEP IT MOVING I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND IT'S A REAL PET PEEVE BECAUSE I GET THE WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT WELL IT'S BENEFITING YOU. WE DON'T HAVE ANY BENEFIT. THEY DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE ANY BENEFIT. WELL, THEY ALSO GOT SEVEN MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WITH 14 PEOPLE LIVING IN THE CITY. SO IT DOESN'T MATTER OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. YEAH. GO AHEAD. SIR, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION. NUMBER 43, 94. SECOND. SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. NEWMAN. SECOND, BY MR. SMITH. THERE YOU GO. YES.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. I NEVER LIKED YOU. ANY OPPOSED? I VOTE AYE, AND THAT MOTION

Hibiscus Boulevard, Melbourne, FL for the Hibiscus Boulevard Booster Pump Station, Project No. 31319 - $376,000 plus closing costs.]

PASSES. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT, LET'S SEE HERE. MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 14. REPORTING ON THIS IS MISS MAGNOLIA. LOOKS LIKE MISS MAGNOLIA. ARE YOU DOING GOOD? HOW ARE YOU? HAPPY NEW YEAR. HAPPY NEW YEAR. DID YOU GROW AN INCH? I WISH IT'S JUST THE SHOES. OKAY. GOTCHA.

THE SHOES. GOOD EVENING. MAYOR COUNCIL, THIS ITEM IS A FOR A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE A CONTRACT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF MELBOURNE AND L3 HARRIS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1025 WEST HIBISCUS BOULEVARD IN MELBOURNE. AND UP ON YOUR SCREEN, YOU SEE THAT IS THE L3 HARRIS, THE FULL PROPERTY. AND AT THE VERY SOUTH END YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE RED GOES INTO THE PROPERTY AND GOES RIGHT AROUND OUR EXISTING BOOSTER STATION. WE HAVE AN EXISTING 1 MILLION GALLON TANK AND A BOOSTER STATION THERE. AND WHEN WE PREVIOUSLY HAD DONE SOME WATER MODELING, WE WERE LOOKING FOR A LOCATION TO PUT A NEW STORAGE TANK, AND IT'S BEEN IN THE BUDGET FOR QUITE SOME TIME, AT LEAST FOR THE DESIGN PORTION. AND PREVIOUSLY THE WATER MODELING SHOWED THAT THE HIBISCUS LOCATION IS ACTUALLY THE MOST EFFICIENT AND BEST LOCATION. IT HELPS TO MOVE THE WATER TO THE DOWNTOWN AND THEN WON 92 OUT TO THE BEACHES. NONE OF THE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT WE LOOKED AT WHERE THERE WAS VACANT LAND PROVIDED THE SAME BENEFIT AS FAR AS WATER AGE AND WATER QUALITY. SO IN THE FACT THAT SINCE WE PUT THAT PROJECT IN THE BUDGET, IT HADN'T REALLY MOVED, WE DECIDED THAT THIS YEAR WE THOUGHT WE WOULD AT LEAST ASK L3 HARRIS IF THEY WOULD BE INTERESTED INTERESTED IN SELLING A PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS ON THE NEXT SLIDE. AND BASICALLY WE JUST SQUARED IT UP SO THAT IT'S AN ADDITIONAL, I THINK, 1.7 ACRES. IT'S CURRENTLY A 1.71. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 0.59. SO ON THE EXISTING SITE IT'S VERY TIGHT. NO, NO WAY TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. SO BY GAINING THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY WE CAN BUILD A 2 MILLION GALLON TANK WHICH WILL DOUBLE THE SIZE AND HAVE ROOM FOR THE GENERATOR, ELECTRICAL BUILDING AND ALL THE IMPROVEMENTS WE NEED THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. PROPERTY CURRENTLY JUST HAS SOME OVERFLOW PARKING FOR L3 HARRIS, AND WHEN WE MADE CONTACT WITH L3 HARRIS, THEY WERE VERY INTERESTED IN MAKING A DEAL WITH US AND WE'VE HAD THE PROPERTY APPRAISED. WE WENT THROUGH THE THE FEDERAL UNIFORM RELOCATION AND REAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION POLICY. SO WE FOLLOWED THAT. GETTING THE APPRAISAL, HAVING TO GET A

[00:35:01]

SURVEY CURRENTLY AND A PHASE ONE ASSESSMENT. AND THE APPRAISAL WAS FOR THE $376,000.

AND SO WE REQUEST THE APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION FOR THE PROPERTY PURCHASE AND CLOSING COSTS. ONE OF THE REASONS TO BRING IT UP IS BECAUSE WE WILL BE HAVING TO COME BACK TO YOU WHEN WE DO THE DESIGN. SO WE IT WASN'T NECESSARILY REQUIRED TO BRING THIS TONIGHT FOR A PROPERTY PURCHASE, BUT SINCE WE'LL BE BACK, WE CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE SURE BEFORE WE PURCHASE THE PROPERTY THAT COUNCIL WAS. NOT OPPOSED TO IT. OKAY. AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTION. YES, SIR. I SOUND LIKE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CITY AS WE CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND GROW FOR SERVICE FOR THE RESIDENTS. SO JUST BIG PICTURE QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS. SO WITH THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERTY APPROVAL, ANY IDEA TIMELINE WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO KIND OF GET IT READY AND MAYBE START TO BUILD THAT. YES. WELL I MEAN, SO I THINK IT'S LIKE ANOTHER 60 DAYS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS TO CLOSE. AND THEN WE'D LIKE TO GET IT A TASK ORDER IF WE CAN, AND GET STARTED WITH THE DESIGN. THIS YEAR WE'RE ALREADY FUNDED FOR DESIGN, AND WE MAY BE USING A COMBINATION OF EITHER SOME FEDERAL LOANS OR SRF, OR THE BOND FUNDING IS WHAT WILL BE USED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT. IF WE HAVE DO WE HAVE A MOTION I MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4395. SECOND I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

[15. CONSENT AGENDA:]

ANY OPPOSED? I VOTE AYE, AND THAT MOTION PASSES. ITEM NUMBER 15. THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS A THROUGH P WITH NOTHING PULLED. DO WE HAVE A MOTION, MAYOR? GO AHEAD. MA'AM, REQUEST APPROVAL OF CONSENT ITEMS FROM A THROUGH P, AND I'LL SECOND THAT. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE.

AS THE NEXT PHASE, WE BROUGHT FORTH THE OPTIONS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED AND ARE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALONG THE WAY. THE PLANS FOR 2026. WE DID KEEP THE RECOMMENDATION THAT I PRESENTED AT THE LAST MEETING, WITH ALL FIVE OPTIONS TO PROVIDE YOUR EMPLOYEES WITH A MENU OF PLANS TO PICK THE ONE THAT BEST MEETS THEIR FAMILY NEEDS. WE HAVE THE CHOICE PLAN THAT WE REVIEWED THAT'S THE MOST LIKE YOUR CURRENT PLANS TODAY. IT'S THE FULL NATIONAL NETWORK. SIMILAR OR IT MATCHES YOUR PLAN DESIGN THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE HMO, WHERE THE BULK OF YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE ENROLLED.

RIGHT NOW, THE SUREST PLAN, WHICH IS THE TECH ENABLED ZERO DEDUCTIBLE PLAN, THAT MAY BE A GREAT FIT FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR ALL IN PRICING, AND LIKE THAT AIRBNB FEEL OF BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT A PHONE AND SEE THE PRICE FOR SERVICES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS BASED ON

[00:40:02]

LAST MONTH'S MEETING, THEN I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THAT. ON THE SUREST PLAN. THE HMO PLAN HAS THE LOWER DEDUCTIBLE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY, AND IT IS PRICED SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW. AND IT CAN BE A GREAT OPTION FOR FAMILIES THAT ARE LOOKING FOR THAT EXTRA PER PAYCHECK, SAVINGS IN THEIR PREMIUM AND THE LOWER COPAYS THAT THAT PLAN AFFORDS. IT DOES COME WITH A NARROWER NETWORK, WHICH WOULD BE EXPLAINED DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT. THE CHOICE HSA PLAN.

THIS IS FOR SOMEONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. I'VE OUTLINED AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN AND AT THE TOP OF YOUR PAGE WHAT AN HSA IS. IT'S AN EMPLOYEE OWNED SAVINGS ACCOUNT. THE CITY DOES NOT CURRENTLY OFFER A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. IT HAS TO BE PAIRED WITH A HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN UNDER IRS REGULATIONS. AND THERE ARE SOME TAX ADVANTAGES THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT. AND SO IF IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE EMPLOYEE, THEY WILL SEE PRETAX CONTRIBUTIONS, TAX FREE GROWTH. SO ONCE YOU HAVE $1,000 IN YOUR HSA YOU CAN INVEST IT IN THOSE INVESTMENT. EARNINGS ARE NOT TAXED. TAX FREE WITHDRAWALS FOR ANY QUALIFIED MEDICAL, DENTAL OR VISION EXPENSES FOR THE EMPLOYEE OR ANY OF THEIR TAX DEPENDENTS, WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE ENROLLED ON ANY OF THE PLANS. SO THAT CAN MAKE SENSE FOR SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT HIGH. UTILIZERS OF THE HEALTH PLAN. THE HSA PLAN, SAME PLAN DESIGN AS THE CHOICE, BUT IT COMES WITH A LOWER PRICE POINT. IT CAN BE A GREAT OPTION FOR A LOW UTILIZER OF THE HEALTH PLAN THAT DOESN'T MIND THE NARROW NETWORK AND IS REALLY LOOKING FOR THAT PRETAX VEHICLE, BUT ALSO THE LOWER PREMIUM. ALL PLANS, AS YOU'LL SEE, WILL HAVE $0 EMPLOYEE ONLY COVERAGE, AND THE DEPENDENT COVERAGE WILL PAY LESS. TODAY, AMONGST ALL THE PLANS AND ALL THE TIERS, MY QUESTION FOR YOU. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. YOU REALLY? YOU POINTED OUT THAT THE SUREST PLAN HAS AN APP. SO I GUESS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS, WHAT ARE THE OTHER PLANS SHOW UP AS FAR AS THE TECHNOLOGY, THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO SEE ALL OF THEM HAVE APPS. SO THE SUREST PLAN IS APP DRIVEN. SO THERE IS AN APP THAT EMPLOYEES WOULD HAVE THAT THEY PUT IN THE NAME OF THE PROCEDURE THAT THEY'RE HAVING. THE AN EXAMPLE THAT I WOULD SAY IS HAVING A BABY, AND IT WILL PULL UP THE COST OF THAT FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE OF HAVING A BABY AT ALL OF THE FACILITIES IN YOUR AREA SO IT CAN RANGE AND YOU'LL SEE IN A MOMENT WHAT THAT RANGE IS. AND IT REALLY DRIVES EMPLOYEES TO PROVIDERS AND FACILITIES WITH BETTER OUTCOMES AND MORE EFFICIENT CARE. AND SO BEHIND THE SCENES, THERE'S AN ALGORITHM THAT SAYS, IS THIS PROVIDER OR FACILITY HAVE MORE READMISSIONS, MORE COMPLICATIONS? ARE THEY MORE EFFICIENT WITH THEIR CARE DELIVERY? IT'S NOT LOWEST COST NECESSARILY. IT'S JUST BETTER OUTCOMES AND LOWEST COST COMBINED. AND THE OTHER PLANS TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOU HAVE AN APP JUST LIKE YOU HAVE TODAY WITH AETNA WHERE YOU CAN SEARCH FOR PROVIDER. YOU CAN PULL YOUR EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE NETWORK DIRECTORY, THE BASIC THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TODAY. THE SUREST PLAN JUST TAKES THAT AS MORE OF A SHOPPING EXPERIENCE, WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE TRUE PRICE. AND UNLIKE PLANS, EVERY OTHER PLAN ON THE MARKET WHERE YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW THE PRICE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE, THERE'S NO SURPRISE IT'LL SHOW YOU ALL IN $600 FOR THAT BABY. OKAY? HAVE THAT BABY OKAY. A LOT ON THIS PAGE, BUT IT'S RECAP FROM THE LAST MEETING. AND WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE ARE YOUR TWO PLANS THAT YOU HAVE TODAY WITH AETNA ON THE LEFT. THE DEDUCTIBLES, THE CO-PAYS, THE OUT OF POCKET MAXIMUMS AT THE VERY BOTTOM, THE TOTAL PREMIUM THAT AETNA CHARGES PER MONTH ON THE RIGHT. WE HAVE THE PLANS THAT I JUST DESCRIBED TO YOU BUT WITH THE DETAILS. SO FOR THE SUREST PLAN IT'S THE SECOND ONE FROM THE LEFT UNDER SUREST YOU'LL SEE THAT IT HAS NO DEDUCTIBLE. IT DOES HAVE A $6,000 OUT OF POCKET MAXIMUM. BUT THAT IS DIFFICULT TO GET TO BECAUSE EVERYTHING ON A PLAN HAS A COPAY. SO THERE'S NO DEDUCTIBLE AND COINSURANCE.

THERE'S NO SURPRISE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY CHARGE IS GOING TO BE. AN EXAMPLE THAT I'VE LEARNED IS YOU GO TO THE DERMATOLOGIST, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS AT THE DERMATOLOGIST, WHETHER THEY DO A BIOPSY OR NOT. IT IS THAT COPAY FOR THE DERMATOLOGIST. YOU'LL SEE THE TOTAL PREMIUMS AT THE BOTTOM. AND THEN I'VE ALSO CALCULATED THE ANNUAL SAVINGS. AND THIS IS THE TOTAL PREMIUM SAVINGS, NOT THE CITY VERSUS EMPLOYEE YET. SO YOU'LL SEE FOR THE MOST EXPENSIVE PLAN, WHICH IS THE CHOICE PLAN, EMPLOYEE ONLY IS ABOUT $283 IN SAVINGS PER MONTH.

THAT'S THE PREMIUM THAT UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHARGES. AND THEN ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT, YOU'LL SEE THAT THE HSA PLAN OR SORRY, THAT IS ANNUAL. AND ON THE FAR RIGHT, YOU CAN SEE THE HSA PLAN, WHICH IS THE LOWEST COST. IT SAVES A TOTAL OF $4,829 PER YEAR IN PREMIUM, AND FOR A FAMILY, OVER 16,000. SO THERE'S PREMIUM. THAT IS, THERE'S A VERY THERE'S A VARIETY OF PREMIUMS THAT ARE CHARGED AND BASED ON WHAT WILL MAKE SENSE FOR THE EMPLOYEE, THEY WILL CHOOSE WHAT WHAT THEY DO. THAT WILL MAKE MORE SENSE IN A MOMENT WHEN I SHOW YOU THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. SO THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS IN GRAY, YOU'LL SEE WHAT THEY'RE PAYING

[00:45:06]

TODAY. THIS IS PER MONTH. SO PER MONTH EMPLOYEE ONLY THEY HAVE FREE. SO THE VAST MAJORITY OF YOUR EMPLOYEE ONLY ARE ENROLLED ON YOUR HMO PLAN. BUT MOST OF THE DEPENDENT TIERS ARE AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, A FAMILY ON YOUR CURRENT HMO IS PAYING $389 PER MONTH OUT OF THEIR PAYCHECK. AS YOU GO ACROSS THE SPECTRUM, YOU CAN SEE THAT FOR FAMILY COVERAGE, THE UHC CHOICE PLAN IS PRICED BELOW THAT AT $380, BUT THE SUREST IS 320, THE HMO, 270, THE CHOICE HSA AT 220, AND THE HSA AT 150. SO THERE COULD BE REAL PREMIUM DOLLARS THAT ARE SAVED. AND I HAVE A FURTHER EXHIBIT THAT'LL SHOW WHAT THAT IS PER PAY FOR AN EMPLOYEE. AND THESE I RECOMMENDED THESE CONTRIBUTIONS, AND THEY WERE REVIEWED BY YOUR FINANCE TEAM AND LEADERSHIP.

AND THEY ONCE I EXPLAINED WHY THEY WERE SET UP THAT WAY, IT MADE SENSE. YOU WANT TO HAVE AN ELEMENT OF CHOICE WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE GOING THROUGH THEIR OPTIONS. RIGHT NOW, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL. AND SO WHEN AN EMPLOYEE IS GOING THROUGH OPEN ENROLLMENT, THEY DON'T REALLY HAVE, THEY DON'T STOP AND THINK. THEY JUST SAY, KEEP ME IN WHAT I HAVE TODAY. NOW WE'RE GIVING THEM THE EDUCATION AND PLAN DESIGN DIFFERENTIATORS, BUT ALSO CHARGING THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT BECAUSE OF A NARROW NETWORK OR A HIGHER DEDUCTIBLE OR A THE SUREST PLAN IS JUST PRICED BELOW THE CHOICE PLAN. THAT'S WHAT UNITEDHEALTHCARE CHARGES. SO WE'RE PRICING IT A LITTLE AS WELL. NO ONE IN THE AUDIENCE CAN SEE THIS, BUT THERE IS A LOT ON THIS PAGE REALLY. THE POINT OF IT IS ON THE FAR RIGHT, THE PER PAY CHANGE FROM THE HMO PLAN TODAY IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO CALL OUT FOR THE CHOICE PLAN.

IT'S NOT SIGNIFICANT. IT'S ABOUT 3 TO $5 PER PAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO SAVE IF THEY STAY IN THE PLAN. THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE TODAY. AS YOU GO DOWN THE PAGE, YOU CAN SEE FOR THE SUREST PLAN AN EMPLOYEE WITH FAMILY COVERAGE WOULD SAVE $35 PER PAY. THOSE THAT ARE ON THE HSA PLAN ALL THE WAY AT THE BOTTOM WOULD SEE THE MOST SAVINGS AT 100, AND JUST UNDER $120 PER PAY. IF THEY TAKE THAT PLAN VERSUS STAYING WHERE THEY'RE AT TODAY. SO BECAUSE THE PREMIUMS ARE DIFFERENT AND THE PLAN DESIGNS ARE DIFFERENT, THERE ARE SOME ASSUMPTIONS THAT IT'S OUR JOB TO MAKE AND HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHERE WE THINK PEOPLE WILL LAND. THIS IS AN ESTIMATE, BUT WE HAVE ASSUMED THAT 60% OF THOSE WITH EMPLOYEE ONLY COVERAGE UNDER THIS MODEL WILL STAY WHERE THEY'RE AT TODAY. THEY'LL SAY, I DON'T. ALL THE REST OF IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO LEARN ABOUT IT. I'M GOING TO STAY WHERE I'M AT. 20% WOULD TAKE THE SUREST PLAN. IT HAS NO DEDUCTIBLE. IT'S ALL IN PRICING. THE COMMITTEE REALLY FOUND THAT THAT WAS ATTRACTIVE WHENEVER THEY HEARD THE NUANCES OF IT, THAT IF I GO FOR MY DERMATOLOGIST, IT GETS TRULY $10. IF I GO TO THE RIGHT DERMATOLOGIST AND IT INCLUDES MY BIOPSY, HAVING A BABY, I KNOW MY BABY'S COST ME BETWEEN 4 AND $6000, DEPENDING ON WHICH YEAR IT WAS, AND YOU CAN HAVE A LABOR AND DELIVERY FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY LESS. BUT SO 20% OF EMPLOYEE ONLY WOULD TAKE THE SUREST PLAN 20% ON THE HSA PLAN, BECAUSE THE RECOMMENDATION IS FOR THE CITY TO FUND $1,500 FOR EMPLOYEE ONLY AND 3000 FOR FAMILY COVERAGE INTO THE HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. THAT IS, A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT IS OWNED BY THE EMPLOYEE. AND SO FOR AN EMPLOYEE, THAT'S NOT A HIGH UTILIZER OF THE HEALTH PLAN. IF ALL THE PLANS ARE FREE, THAT MIGHT MAKE THE MOST SENSE FOR THEM, RIGHT? THEY THEY ARE GETTING A BONUS OF $1,500 INTO A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT TO USE IF THEY NEED TO. THEY CAN ALSO SUPPLEMENT THAT WITH THEIR OWN PER PAY DEDUCTIONS THAT ARE PRETAX. FOR THE FAMILY TIERS. SO ANYTHING OTHER THAN EMPLOYEE ONLY COVERAGE, WE'VE ASSUMED 20% STAY IN THE CHOICE PLAN, BUT BECAUSE THE PREMIUMS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS, I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MORE MIGRATION IN THE FAMILY TIERS.

SO THEY'RE NOT ALL FREE. WE'VE ASSUMED 20% ENROLL IN THE CHOICE PLAN, 20% SURESTE, 30% IN THE HMO. IT'S GOING TO HAVE RICHER BENEFITS AND LOWER PREMIUMS. SO FOR A FAMILY THAT DOES NOT TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF BREVARD FOR MEDICAL CARE, DOESN'T HAVE NEEDS WHERE THEY NEED TO GO UP TO MAYO THAT THEY KNOW OF, THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THAT AND SAY, WOULD I RATHER HAVE A LOWER DEDUCTIBLE, RICHER COPAYS IF MY KID GETS SICK AND SAVE UP TO, LET'S SAY, WHAT IS THE NP $75 PER OR, SORRY, $120 PER PAY? I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME PEOPLE THAT MAKE THAT CHOICE. THE 30% HSA. OH, THAT'S THE ONE. THAT'S $120 LESS. SO THAT ONE IS FOR THE FAMILY. THAT IS NOT A HIGH UTILIZER YOU STILL GET FREE PREVENTIVE CARE. SO ALL THOSE

[00:50:02]

WELL-CHILD AND IMMUNIZATIONS AND THINGS THAT POP UP, YOU HAVE COVERAGE FOR THAT AT 100%.

IF A KID GET SICK, YOU'RE JUST PAYING WHATEVER THE SICK VISIT IS. YOU ALSO HAVE TELEMEDICINE ON ALL OF THESE PLANS. THAT IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER PRICE THAN GOING TO A BRICK AND MORTAR. IF THE MIGRATION ASSUMPTION LANDS, WHICH IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THIS. BUT THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD ASSUMPTION. THEN AT THE VERY BOTTOM, WE'VE CALLED OUT THE PREMIUM SAVINGS. SO THE TOTAL PREMIUM SAVINGS IS NOT ONE OF MY BOXES, BUT IT'S 18%, ABOUT TWO POINT JUST UNDER $3 MILLION VERSUS WHAT THE TOTAL PREMIUM BEING PAID TODAY. BUT THE CITY'S PREMIUM SAVINGS IS 2.4 MILLION. AND WITH THAT HSA SEED. SO YOU'RE GIVING EVERYONE A HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT. ONCE THAT MONEY IS FUNDED, IT'S OUT THE DOOR. YOU DON'T GET IT BACK. IT'S NOT LIKE A HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT WHERE IT'S BASED ON WHAT THE CLAIMS. SO YOU'RE GIVING EVERYONE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT TAKES THOSE PLANS, AND THAT WOULD GET YOUR NET TO ABOUT $2 MILLION IN SAVINGS VERSUS WHAT THE CITY IS PAYING TODAY. EMPLOYEES WOULD SAVE 34% UNDER THIS SCENARIO, BUT IT WILL DEPEND ON THE PLAN AND TIER THAT THEY CHOOSE. NOW IN ANTICIPATION OF QUESTIONS.

WHAT IF EVERYONE STAYS WHERE THEY'RE AT TODAY AND THE CHOICE PLAN? IT WOULD SAVE YOU ABOUT $300,000, SO THAT'S HOW MUCH IT CAN VARY $300,000 IF EVERYONE STAYS IN THE EXACT SAME PLAN THAT THEY HAVE TODAY. BUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR IS A LITTLE BIT PREDICTABLE. I DON'T THINK THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE EVERYONE STAY WHERE THEY ARE TODAY BASED ON THE PREMIUMS THAT THEY'RE CHARGED IN THE PLAN. DESIGN DIFFERENTIATORS. THE UHC AGREEMENT. TO RECAP, IT HAS THE FOURTH QUARTER CARRYOVER. THE GOAL OF THIS PROCESS WAS TO REMOVE SOME OF THE CONFUSION AROUND OUR BENEFITS FOR NEW ON APRIL 1ST, BUT OUR DEDUCTIBLES RESET ON JANUARY 1ST. SO WHAT UNITEDHEALTHCARE HAS AGREED TO DO IS THE CITY WILL HAVE A PLAN YEAR DEDUCTIBLE AND OUT OF POCKET MAX BEGINNING IN APRIL. SO THAT'S WHEN THE DEDUCTIBLE AND OUT-OF-POCKET MAX WILL START. BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GRANDFATHER EVERY CLAIM THAT HAPPENS BETWEEN JANUARY 1ST AND THE END OF MARCH. UNDER AETNA. THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A REPORT AND POPULATE THEIR SYSTEM TO GET THAT OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM AND DEDUCTIBLES CREDIT. SO WHAT IF IT'S THE PLAN THAT HAS A ZERO DEDUCTIBLE. WELL IT GOES TOWARDS THE OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM. THE THEN BEGINNING IN APRIL OF NEXT YEAR YOU'LL JUST RENEW AND IT'LL MATCH. SO DEDUCTIBLES AND OUT OF POCKET MATCH YOUR RENEWAL DATE. THE UHC REWARDS WELLNESS PROGRAM IS A $300 PER YEAR, AND INCENTIVE PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEES AND SPOUSES, IS FUNDED BY UNITEDHEALTHCARE. IT'S A YOU EARN POINTS BY DOING VARIOUS WELLNESS INITIATIVES. THE THE SUREST PLAN IS IT'S FILED DIFFERENTLY. SO UNITEDHEALTHCARE REQUIRED TOURISTS BECAUSE THEY REALLY LIKE THE VALUE OF IT WHEN THEY DID THAT. SURE. IT IS NOT FILED YET TO HAVE THAT UHC REWARDS PROGRAM. SO THAT WILL BE COMMUNICATED DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT. THEY ARE WORKING TO GET THAT APPROVED WITH THE OFFICE OF INSURANCE REGULATION GOAL OF 2027. BUT THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED $125,000 ADMIN CREDIT FOR THREE YEARS IF YOU ARE WITH UNITEDHEALTHCARE. SO JUNE OF 2026, 2027 AND 2028, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO STAY WITH THEM. AS I TOLD THE COUNCIL, IT'S MY BEST PRACTICE TO DO A MARKET CHECK AT LEAST EVERY TWO YEARS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GETTING A FAIR PRICE. CITY PLANS TO USE THE 125,000 FOR WELLNESS PROGRAM INITIATIVES, SO PART OF THAT COULD BE USED TO INCENTIVIZE THOSE THAT ARE ON THE SUREST PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE A WELLNESS PROGRAM, AND THEN OTHER VARIOUS INITIATIVES THAT WE CAN DETERMINE. THERE'S A RATE CAP FOR THE 2027 RENEWAL OF 14.9.

BUT TO REMIND YOU ALL, THAT IS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO. IF YOUR CLAIMS ARE PERFORMING BETTER THAN THAT, THEN YOU WILL NOT SEE THE 14.9. THAT'S NOT SAYING WHAT IT WILL BE. IT'S SAYING WORST CASE. TO ADD SOME CONTEXT AROUND THAT. WITH AETNA, YOU'VE HAD SEVERAL THAT WERE OVER 15%, A COUPLE THAT WERE CLOSE TO 20. SO THIS IS BELOW WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. DEDICATED ON SITE RESOURCE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE CITY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT UNITEDHEALTHCARE CAME TO THE TABLE WITH DURING THEIR FINAL PRESENTATION. AND IT WAS INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE ANYTIME A CITY SPECIFICALLY CHANGES INSURANCE CARRIERS, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AND NEED HELP. AND THIS WOULD BE SOMEONE NOT ONLY FOR THE TRANSITION BUT ONGOING. THAT WOULD COULD IF THE CITY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THEM UP ON THIS. AND I BELIEVE THAT THAT IS THE INTEREST. HAVE SOMEBODY ON SITE FROM CITY HALL, THE AIRPORT, VARIOUS LOCATIONS TO BE THERE TO FEEL THOSE QUESTIONS, HELP WITH CLAIMS AND AUTHORIZATION ISSUES AND BE THE FACE OF UNITEDHEALTHCARE. WE WOULD ALSO LEAN ON THAT RESOURCE FOR WELLNESS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT. SO THEY WOULD WORK WITH MY TEAM, WORK WITH CITY STAFF TO ROLL OUT AND KEEP THE STEAM GOING FOR WELLNESS INITIATIVES, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE TOOLS, AND THEN IT'S HOW DO WE CONTINUALLY THINK ABOUT THAT ON

[00:55:04]

TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR? THE ANCILLARY LINES WERE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT. UNITEDHEALTHCARE WOULD BE THE CARRIER FOR LIFE VISION, SHORT AND LONG TERM DISABILITY, AND THE NEW SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE AFLAC THEY PAY YOU AND NOT THE DOCTOR. ACCIDENT, CRITICAL ILLNESS AND HOSPITAL INDEMNITY PLANS.

SAVINGS ON THE PLANS ARE MATCHING CURRENT BENEFITS OR ENHANCING COVERAGE. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF INSURABILITY THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE DISABILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMEBODY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE SHORT OR LONG TERM DISABILITY AND THEY WANT TO TAKE UNITEDHEALTHCARE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO EOI, WHICH IS A ONE TIME THING. THAT'S TYPICAL WHEN YOU CHANGE THESE TYPES OF PRODUCTS OVER TO ANOTHER CARRIER, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF INSURABILITY UP TO THE GUARANTEE ISSUE ON THE VOLUNTARY LIFE INSURANCE EITHER. NO PREEXISTING CONDITION LIMITATIONS AND HIGHER VOLUNTARY LIFE MAXIMUM FOR THE SPOUSE FOR THE EOI APPROVAL CLAIMS INTEGRATION. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS UNIQUE TO UNITED MEDICAL CLAIMS. IF SOMEBODY IS ENROLLED IN MEDICAL AND LET'S SAY HOSPITAL INDEMNITY, IT WILL AUTO GENERATE A PAYMENT IN MANY CASES TO THAT EMPLOYEE. SO WE KNOW THAT YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL, YOU HAVE HOSPITAL INDEMNITY AND YOU WILL GET A CHECK FOR THAT, THAT PAYMENT.

OR IF YOU ARE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WE KNOW YOU WERE THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION. IT WILL PAY OUT ACCORDING TO THAT SCHEDULE OF BENEFITS. IT DOESN'T PAY ALL OF THEM CRITICAL ILLNESS. THEY NEED A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION SOMETIMES, BUT IT IS. MORE THAN 50% OF THOSE CLAIMS ARE AUTO PAID. THE REST ARE EMAIL REMINDERS. THREE YEAR RATE GUARANTEE FOR LIFE, SHORT TERM AND LONG TERM DISABILITY, AND THE VOLUNTARY BENEFITS. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CRITICAL ILLNESS, WHICH THE STATE DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DO MORE THAN TWO YEARS AT A TIME. THE NEXT PAGE IS JUST A RECAP ON THE WELLNESS WEIGHT LOSS FITNESS PROGRAMS, THE ONE GYM MEMBERSHIP WHERE THEY CAN GO TO THE BOUTIQUE FITNESS CENTERS, AND A WHOLE NETWORK OF GYMS FOR A LOWER PRICE. THE REAL APPEAL WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM, WHICH FOCUSES ON SMALL, SUSTAINABLE, SUSTAINABLE STEPS TO HELP PEOPLE STAY HEALTHY. THE WELLNESS DIGITAL WELLNESS PLATFORM THAT'S FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE MORE APP AND TECH SAVVY WITH DIGITAL COACHING. AND I HAVE SOME BRIEF INFORMATION ABOUT OPEN ENROLLMENT, BECAUSE SOME OF THE CONCERN AT THE LAST MEETING WAS THIS A LOT OF CHANGE, HOW OUR EMPLOYEES GOING TO NAVIGATE THE CHANGE, AND HOW ARE THEY GOING TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES IN ALL OF THESE BENEFITS? YOU'VE GOT FIVE MEDICAL PLANS, CHANGES IN ALL OF THESE CARRIERS. SO I, PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL TODAY, WILL BE PRESENTING AT TWO SESSIONS PER DAY, THREE DAYS NEXT WEEK AS EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS. THIS IS BEFORE OPEN ENROLLMENT. THIS IS TO EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS AND LET PEOPLE START CONTEMPLATING THAT AND FORMULATE QUESTIONS. THE DETAILED REVIEW OF THE OPTIONS WILL BE WHO WILL THESE BE A GOOD FIT FOR, WITH EXAMPLES SO THAT AN EMPLOYEE CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND WHICH 1ST MAY MAKE THE MOST SENSE FOR THEM. MY GOAL IS NEVER TO DRIVE PEOPLE INTO THE LOWEST COST PLAN. I WILL STAND UP AND TELL YOU THAT THE HSA OPTION IS NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR MANY OF YOUR EMPLOYEES. IT MEANS THAT THEY HAVE TO MEET A LARGE DEDUCTIBLE BEFORE THEY HAVE COVERAGE OUTSIDE OF PREVENTIVE CARE THAT'S NEW FOR THEM. THAT INCLUDES PHARMACY BENEFITS. SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT A BRAND NEW MEDICATION IS NOT 30 OR 50 OR $70. IT'S IN THE THOUSANDS IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES. SO ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WILL BE CLEAR. THAT INFORMATION WITH THE EXAMPLES WILL ALSO BE IN BENEFIT GUIDES. SO SOME EXAMPLES OF A TYPE OF EMPLOYEE AND WHAT PLAN MAY MAKE THE MOST SENSE FOR THEM. TENTATIVE OPEN ENROLLMENT DATES ARE FEBRUARY 16TH THROUGH THE 27TH, WHICH LEADS US INTO BEING ABLE TO HAVE TIME TO PROCESS THOSE ENROLLMENTS, GET THEM OVER TO UNITED, AND HAVE ID CARDS IN HAND BY APRIL 4TH OR APRIL 1ST.

WE DO HAVE A NEW COMMUNICATIONS AND SUPPORT PARTNER THROUGH BROWN AND BROWN OWENS WINSTON BENEFITS. THIS IS FULLY FUNDED FOR THE CITY. YOU'RE NOT PAYING ANYTHING FOR THIS, BUT PROFESSIONAL BENEFIT COMMUNICATION PIECES ARE BEING DEVELOPED. THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE. WE HAVE THE PHOTOS, BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE CONTENT YET. PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL, THAT WILL ALL BE ADDED QUICKLY. THEY HAVE OVER 30 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. THEIR FIRST CLIENT WAS ACTUALLY THE POLICE OFFICERS IN NEW YORK CITY. WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING A CALL CENTER AND ON SITE ENROLLMENT, SO EMPLOYEES DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT WILL BE ABLE TO MEET FACE TO FACE WITH AN ENROLLMENT COUNSELOR. MY TEAM WILL BE ON SITE. ALSO, IN ADDITION TO THE CITY'S HR TEAM, MAKE SURE EMPLOYEES HAVE THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE A DECISION AND TO GET THROUGH THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS. IT IS AN ACTIVE ENROLLMENT. OBVIOUSLY, THAT MEANS EMPLOYEES HAVE TO TAKE ACTION. THERE'S NOTHING CAN ROLL OVER WHEN EVERYTHING IS CHANGING, SO THEY DO NEED TO TO GO IN AND MAKE THAT CHANGE OR MAKE THAT ELECTION. THE CALL

[01:00:07]

CENTER IS LICENSED ENROLLMENT COUNSELORS THAT CAN GUIDE THEM THROUGH THEIR OPTIONS AND ALSO ENROLL THEM IN THEIR BENEFITS. SO WE HAVE A NEW PLATFORM THAT IS THAT EMPLOYEES WILL BE ENROLLING IN. IT'S IT WILL FEED WITH MUNIS, YOUR CURRENT SYSTEM, BUT IT IS MORE USER FRIENDLY FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT AND BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION. SO HR WILL HAVE A BETTER EXPERIENCE PULLING REPORTS AND GETTING THE INFORMATION THEY NEED, AND EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE A SMOOTH EXPERIENCE DURING THE OPEN ENROLLMENT PROCESS. BUT WHAT IF THEY'RE NOT TECH SAVVY? WHAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE GOING INTO A SYSTEM AND CLICKING THROUGH AND CHOOSING THEIR ENROLLMENTS? THAT'S WHERE THE CALL CENTER COMES IN. THEY CAN DO ZOOM MEETINGS WITH AN EMPLOYEE AND THEIR SPOUSE TO MAKE IT A FAMILY DECISION. GO THROUGH ALL THE OPTIONS, ANSWER QUESTIONS THEY CAN CALL IN ON THE PHONE. THEY CAN JUST SAY, I THINK I WANT THESE THREE BENEFITS, BUT I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END WILL ENROLL THEM FOR THEM. I DO HAVE ANCILLARY INFORMATION AS AN APPENDIX. IF YOU WANTED TO SEE THAT, I'M HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU. THERE WAS ALL OF THE RATES WERE AT CURRENT EXCEPT FOR SHORT TERM. DISABILITY IS BELOW CURRENT AND SO IS THE VISION. THESE ARE MATCHING YOUR CURRENT BENEFIT PLAN DESIGNS. THE VISION IS LIKE AN EYE EXAM, BUT THEY'VE MATCHED YOUR CURRENT BENEFITS. THE THINGS THAT ARE SHADED IN GRAY ARE JUST THE OUT OF NETWORK REIMBURSEMENT LEVELS, WHICH ARE RICHER THAN WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY. EMPLOYEES WILL SAVE OUT OF THEIR PAYCHECK TO ON THE VISION PLAN. THEY HAVE A BROAD NATIONAL NETWORK. THEY PARTNER WITH WARBY PARKER. THERE'S A LOT OF BELLS AND WHISTLES ON THE VISION, THE ACCIDENT PLAN I SHOWED YOU LAST TIME. SO THESE ARE BENEFITS THAT STACK ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER. IF SOMEBODY HAS AN ACCIDENTAL INJURY AND IT PAYS OUT ACCORDING TO WHAT HAPPENED ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ACCIDENT. EACH OF THE VOLUNTARY SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFITS COME WITH A WELLNESS BENEFIT OF $50. SO THAT MEANS IF SOMEBODY HAS A PREVENTIVE EXAM, THEY GET A $50 CHECK. SO IT'S A GREAT BENEFIT FOR THEM. AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. OKAY. I'LL START OUT, MISS HANLEY, SINCE WE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE WE'VE HAD HEALTH FIRST. THEN WE ROLLED OVER TO AETNA. NOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SOME OF OUR EMPLOYEES THAT DON'T. SIGN UP BUT THEY'RE THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR WE PAY THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. WHAT PLAN ARE WE GOING TO BE PUTTING THEM IN? I BELIEVE THAT WOULD BE A STAFF QUESTION. MY MY HEART WOULD SAY IF THEY DO NOTHING, THEN YOU WOULD JUST PUT THEM IN THE CHOICE PLAN OR YOU WOULD NOT PUT THEM IN ANYTHING. OUR PRACTICE HAS BEEN THERE ARE DEADLINES. YOU HAVE TO MEET, THOSE DEADLINES. THERE ARE. WE'RE HAVING SENDING POSTCARDS OUT THIS YEAR. WE'RE HAVING TRAINING, WE'RE HAVING TELEPHONE. THERE'S ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLATFORMS. IF THE EMPLOYEE DOES NOT WANT TO SIGN UP FOR HEALTH INSURANCE, THEY WILL NOT BE RECEIVING HEALTH INSURANCE. AND WE HAVE HAD THAT IN THE PAST. AND THAT TO ME, OTHERWISE WE ARE TRACKING PEOPLE DOWN. AND, YOU KNOW, SIX MONTHS LATER WHEN SOMETHING FINALLY HAPPENS TO THEM, THEY ARE WANTING TO TO GET BACK ON AND IT'S A NIGHTMARE. WELL, AND I'LL MAKE A COMMENT THAT I KNOW RUTH AND AND OUR STAFF, THEY DO A GREAT JOB WITH, WITH, YOU KNOW, REMINDING AND REMINDER. REMINDER. SO, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE CAN ALL OUR DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS ARE TASKED WITH REMINDING THEIR EMPLOYEES. WE GET REPORTS ON THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SET UP FRONT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER WE WERE GOING TO JUST AUTOMATICALLY PUT THEM INTO THE CHOICE PLAN OR IN AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, MISS LAMB, THEY'RE THE EMPLOYEES BECAUSE EVERY YEAR THEY NORMALLY ARE THERE AT O'GALLEY CIVIC CENTER, AND THEY CAN GO WHILE ON DUTY AND WHILE THEY'RE WORKING. CORRECT? YES.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE HAVING IT O'GALLEY CIVIC CENTER, BUT ALL OF THIS TRAINING, ANY ANY OF THIS CAN BE DONE DURING WORK HOURS OR WORK HOURS. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT GREAT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT. YOU HAD A QUESTION, SIR? YES. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND GOING THROUGH THIS AGAIN. PRETTY COMPREHENSIVE. MY WIFE AND I HAVE PORED OVER IT AND WE AND WE REACHED OUT TO ONE OF YOUR STAFF MEMBERS AND ASKED A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. SHE GOT RIGHT BACK TO US AS WELL. ONE QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, THEY'RE BECOMING FEWER AND FEWER IN OUR SOCIETY. DOCTORS, NURSES, HEALTH TECHS, ETC. SO THIS OF COURSE JUMPS UP OUR COSTS. WE WERE CONFRONTED BY FROM AETNA WITH A THIRD PARTY SOURCE IN IN THE FRONT END. I FORGET WHAT THEIR NAME WAS. YOU RECALL SOMEWHERE. THERE YOU GO. AND SO THEY WOULD DENY BEFORE AETNA DENIED. AND THEN OH THE

[01:05:01]

AUTHORIZATION COMPANY AND THEN YOU COULD ALWAYS COME BACK AND AND GO TO AETNA SPECIFICALLY AND JUMP OVER THEM. BUT THE DENIAL IS ALREADY IN YOUR FILE AND IS ALREADY FLASHING ON THE SCREEN. AND SO I GUESS MY FEAR IS AND WE FOUND MORE AND MORE DENIALS WITH THIS THIRD PARTY UP FRONT THAT WE ALL EXPERIENCED IT. SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, DO WE HAVE ANY I DON'T KNOW IF GUARANTEE IS THE RIGHT WORD, BUT IS THERE ANY SPECULATION AS TO THIS BEING PART OF THEIR UNITED FIRST BUSINESS MODEL BY ADDING ANOTHER PARTY IN THE FRONT TO TO KIND OF LIKE DO TRIAGE OF SORTS? IT IS LACK OF A BETTER WORD. IT IS VERY COMMON. AND I HAVE TO DEFER TO AMBER REAL QUICK BECAUSE I CANNOT REMEMBER BETWEEN THE FIVE CARRIERS I WORK WITH. DO YOU OUTSOURCE? NO, WE DO NOT. THEY THEY HANDLE UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT AUTHORIZATIONS IN-HOUSE. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE I THINK THAT DOES THAT. SO CIGNA ALSO USES EVICORE. BLUE CROSS USES A DIFFERENT ONE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN GOING INTO THIS. NOW THERE ARE STILL AUTHORIZATIONS THAT ARE REQUIRED UNDER ANY INSURANCE PLAN. SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY THERE'S NO AUTHORIZATIONS. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE AN ARBITRARY THIRD PARTY LOOKING AT IT AND MAKING THAT CALL. AGAIN, THAT WAS MY QUESTION AND THAT WAS OUR CONCERN, AND THAT WAS OUR DEFEAT IN SO MANY. AND THAT WAS AETNA'S DEFEAT ACTUALLY, AS WELL TO THEIR OWN MAKING. SO I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING DIDN'T JUST DROP IN LIKE A TORNADO WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND AFFECT ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY WITH AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN OF TRYING TO GET THEIR HEALTH CARE ACCEPTED AND APPROVED. RIGHT. SO THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WAS WORRIED ABOUT. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU'RE WELCOME. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. MISS HANLEY TO YOU, MR. LARUSSO. I SPOKE TO DOCTOR'S OFFICES ABOUT WHICH PLAN. YOU KNOW WHICH. WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT THIS CIGNA, AETNA AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. AND I WAS TOLD THAT A LOT OF THE PROCEDURES WITH UNITED, THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE PRE-AUTHORIZATION. THEY DON'T THEY DON'T REQUIRE PRE-AUTHORIZATION MORE THAN ANY OTHER INSURANCE AGENCY, INSURANCE COMPANY. SO I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW, THAT WAS ONE OF MY QUESTIONS WHEN I ASKED THEM, HOW DO THEY DO? HOW DO THEY HANDLE? AND THEY SAID, NO, THEY'RE VERY QUICK ABOUT IT, TOO. THEY'RE THEY'RE ONE OF THEIR FASTEST TURNAROUND TIMES. MR. MAYOR, MAY I RESPOND, PLEASE? OKAY. YES I AGREE. AND SO MY PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN PASSED AWAY. AND SO GOOD LUCK.

WELL, WELL, HE YOU KNOW, HE LIVED A GOOD LIFE AND HE WAS AND HE WAS A DARN GOOD DOCTOR.

YOU KNOW, HIS SON TOOK OVER THE PRACTICE AND HIS SON IS NOT A VERY GOOD DOCTOR. SO WE WERE WE WERE ON THE HUNT FOR A NEW PRIMARY. AND SO EVERY ONE THAT WE TALKED TO, YOU KNOW, THE ONES THAT I INTERVIEWED BEFORE, I WOULD COMMIT TO ANYTHING AND I DID COMMIT. THAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION. YOU KNOW, AT FIRST, WHAT DO YOU THINK? WELL, THIS PHYSICIAN AND THEIR GROUP RAVED. THEY ABSOLUTELY RAVED. SO I FEEL EVEN BETTER, MORE CONFIDENT THAN THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE. YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I'M, I'M BEFORE I CAME, YOU KNOW, COMING THIS BEFORE COUNCIL. I EVEN CALLED UP THE OFFICE AND ASKED, YOU KNOW, DOCTOR'S OFFICES AND I GO THE STAFF, THE ONE THAT HAS TO DEAL WITH THE INSURANCES. AND THEY SAID NO, THEY, THEY WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THEY SAID NO, YOU'LL GET GOOD RESPONSES THROUGH THEM. PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD.

MR. GREAT. GREAT PRESENTATION. I DO HAVE A GENERAL QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE UHC REWARD WELLNESS PROGRAM AND THE ONE PASS FITNESS PROGRAM. SO DOES THE CITY, THE CURRENT HEALTH PROGRAM OFFER THAT ALSO THAT TYPE OF BENEFIT. WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY WITH AETNA IS A WELLNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM, BUT THEY GIVE YOU A WELLNESS FUND. I BELIEVE IT'S $125,000 TO SPEND TOWARDS THAT. THOSE WELLNESS INCENTIVES. SO UNITEDHEALTHCARE IS GIVING A FUNDED AMOUNT OF $300 PER EMPLOYEE AND PER SPOUSE THAT THEY ARE PAYING FOR, IN ADDITION TO THE 125,000, THE ONE PASS FITNESS IS UNIQUE TO UNITED. AETNA HAS A FITNESS NETWORK. I THINK THEY TAP INTO ACTIVE AND FIT, WHICH IS A GYM NETWORK. THE DIFFERENCE HERE IS THAT THE ONE PASS ALLOWS YOU TO GO TO PILATES AND THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT THE NORMAL GYM NETWORKS THAT MANY OF US PREFER. AND THEN MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO THAT IS WHAT? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THE CURRENT UTILIZATION IS OF THE OF PEOPLE USING IT? AND THEN DO YOU FORESEE IT BEING USED UNDER THIS? UNITEDHEALTHCARE? I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'VE GOTTEN ANY REPORTING ON GYM UTILIZATION, BUT I WOULD DEFER TO STAFF WELLNESS GYM, ALL OF IT, THE TOTALITY OF IT.

THE REPORTING HAS BEEN A LITTLE LIMITED ON THE WELLNESS FRONT, WHERE YOU'RE AT TODAY ON THE GYMS, YOU WON'T GET UTILIZATION REPORTING THERE BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY A PARTNERSHIP THAT UNITED HAS WITH ONE PASS AS THE VENDOR. AND THEN EMPLOYEES GET DISCOUNTED PRICING TO GO WITHIN

[01:10:05]

THAT NETWORK, WITHIN THE WELLNESS INCENTIVE PROGRAM THAT WILL BE TRACKED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS BY MYSELF, THE UNITED HEALTH CARE TEAM AND STAFF. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. VICE MAYOR, PLEASE. SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THIS. I THINK THIS STINKS. HOWEVER, I THINK THIS IS A HEALTH CARE PROBLEM, NOT A CITY OF MELBOURNE PROBLEM OR UNITED HEALTH CARE PROBLEM. MY FEAR FOR THE CITY IS THIS. I LIKE THE CHOICES. HOWEVER, THE CHOICES. IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE PAYING THE PREMIUMS, THEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET. IF, GOD FORBID, KNOCK ON WOOD, SOMETHING HAPPENS OR YOU'RE PAYING REALLY HIGH DEDUCTIBLES OR YOU'RE IT'S COMING SOMEWHERE. SO KNOWING SOME OF THE EMPLOYEES THAT WE HAVE, MY SON BEING ONE OF THEM, WHO THIS IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY CONFUSING FOR SOME OF OUR EMPLOYEES. SO I KNOW YOU'RE HAVING THE MEETINGS, BUT I CAN SEE SOMEONE COMING BACK AT US A YEAR FROM NOW AND SAYING, I DIDN'T REALIZE, I DIDN'T KNOW. SO I DON'T ENVY YOUR JOB RIGHT NOW TO EDUCATE THE MASSES IN THIS, BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND ONE OF YOUR MEETINGS, EVEN THOUGH I DON'T TAKE THE HEALTH INSURANCE, JUST SO THAT I CAN HELP HIM THROUGH THE PROCESS AND HELP SOME OF HIS OTHER EMPLOYEES THROUGH THIS PROCESS. BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXTREMELY HARD PROCESS AND EXTREMELY HARD DECISION TO MAKE. I SYMPATHIZE WITH THAT.

AND I SPENT THE LAST 16 YEARS IN PUBLIC SECTOR. I'M AWARE OF THE THE CHALLENGES WITH THE VARYING WORKFORCE, AND PEOPLE ARE NOT USED TO A LOT OF CHANGE. USUALLY THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLUCTUATION LIKE THERE IS IN PRIVATE SECTOR WHERE THEY'LL BOUNCE AROUND A LOT MORE. MANY OF MY FRIENDS HAVE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE YOUNG ADULT PHASE LOOKING AT THEIR INSURANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND THEY ARE SENDING IT TO THEIR PARENTS TO REVIEW AND HELP. SO I GET THAT. I WOULD INVITE YOU TO COME TO ANY OF THE SESSIONS. THE REASON THAT I WAS ADAMANT THAT WE GOT THE CALL CENTER AND THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND, ONE ON ONE ENROLLMENT COUNSELORS WAS ALSO FOR THAT REASON. YOUR STAFF IS GREAT, BUT I WANT AS MANY PEOPLE AS WE CAN HAVING ONE ON ONE CONVERSATIONS AND BEING CONSULTATIVE THROUGH THIS PROCESS AS WE CAN DO, UNDERSTANDING THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT RECALL OR REMEMBER ALL THE NUANCES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM THE BEST INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION. FOR THOSE THAT ARE EMPLOYEE ONLY, THEY HAVE FIVE FREE PLANS TO CHOOSE FROM. THAT'S GOT TO BE TOUGH. I WOULD ASK THEM QUESTIONS WHEN GUIDING THEM THROUGH THAT PROCESS. ARE YOU ON MEDICATIONS? HOW MANY DOCTORS VISITS DO YOU GO TO A YEAR? MANY OF THOSE YOUNG ADULTS AREN'T DOING ANYTHING. THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO THE DOCTOR AND JUST PRAYING THAT NOTHING HAPPENS. WHAT'S YOUR ER VISIT COPAY LOOK LIKE? WHAT WILL IT COST YOU TO GO TO URGENT CARE? WHAT'S THE WHAT'S YOUR MEDICATION LOOK LIKE IF YOU GET SICK? THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT CAN HELP THEM GUIDE A LITTLE BIT. THOSE THAT ARE ON A MORE INTENSE HEALTH JOURNEY AND NEED TO HAVE A BROAD NETWORK, WE'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO STEER THEM AWAY FROM THE NP PLANS. IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAYO CLINIC, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT IN-NETWORK UNDER NP. BUT I GET IT. IT'S IT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR THEM TO DIGEST.

AND WE'RE GOING TO GET A SCHEDULE OF WHEN THOSE MEETINGS ARE. YES IT'S PENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL. I THINK HR STAFF HAS IT READY TO GO OKAY OKAY. ANY ANYBODY ELSE. THANK YOU. AND THE TEAM HAS DONE VERY WELL THIS YEAR. THANK YOU MAYOR. WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CHANGE. AND ANYBODY IF NOBODY HAS ANYTHING, DO WE HAVE A MOTION, MAYOR MA'AM. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT. AWARD FOR THE GROUP. MEDICAL AND AUXILIARY COVERAGE TO UNITEDHEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY AND AUTHORIZATION THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MELBOURNE AND UNITEDHEALTHCARE INSURANCE COMPANY. AND I'LL SECOND. DO WE HAVE A MOTION? AND SECOND, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I VOTE AYE. MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. NOW THE REAL WORK BEGINS. MOVING ON TO ITEM

[18. Ordinance No. 2026-01, Administrative Final Plat Approval: (First Reading/Public Hearing) An ordinance amending the City Code of Melbourne, Chapter 2, Administration; Appendix B, Section 4, Planned Unit Development (PUD); and Appendix D, Chapter 8, Subdivision Code, to address recent State of Florida legislative changes (F.S.177.073) to provide administrative approval of final plats. (Applicant - City of Melbourne)]

NUMBER 18, ORDINANCE NUMBER 2026. IT'S THE FIRST ORDINANCE OF THE YEAR, MR. CONLEY. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS ORDINANCE NUMBER 2020 601, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MELBOURNE, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL OF FINAL PLATS MAKING FINDINGS, AMENDING CHAPTER TWO OF THE CITY CODE ENTITLED ADMINISTRATION AMENDING SECTION 2-3 29 AUTHORITY AND DUTIES OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. AMENDING APPENDIX B OF THE CITY CODE ENTITLED ZONING AMENDING ARTICLE NINE ZONING APPLICATIONS AND PROCEDURES.

[01:15:02]

AMENDING APPENDIX D OF THE CITY CODE ENTITLED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE. AMENDING CHAPTER EIGHT, SUBDIVISION CODE PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION, PROVIDING EFFECTIVE DATE, AND PROVIDING AN ADOPTION SCHEDULE. THANK YOU. REPORT ON THIS IS MISS DEAN. HEY, CHERYL DEAN, CITY OF MELBOURNE PLANNING MANAGER. IT'S A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT. I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU TONIGHT ABOUT THE FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ON ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVALS OF FINAL PLATS. THIS IS A REQUIREMENT THAT'S COME THROUGH FROM THE LEGISLATION. AND THE STATE LEGISLATION IS NOW REMOVING THE PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS FOR FINAL PLAT REVIEW.

LOOKED THROUGH THE CODES, FOUND FOUR PLACES. WHY IS IT 50 PAGES? RIGHT. SO LET ME JUST SUMMARIZE THAT FOR YOU. MOSTLY IT KIND OF FALLS BACK TO LAST YEAR. STAFF BROUGHT A ORDINANCE LEGISLATIVELY REQUIRED FOR EXPEDITED REVIEWS FOR PERMITS. AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME, STAFF MADE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FINAL PLATS. WELL, CITY COUNCIL IS NOT GOING TO SEE FINAL PLATS ANYMORE. SO WE STAFF LOOKED AT TAKING THOSE REQUIREMENTS, MAKING THEM CONSISTENT AND PRELIMINARY PLATS SO THAT THERE IS A MORE ROBUST AREA OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD, CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT, PUBLIC HEARING ON THE THINGS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR THE PLANNING PROCESS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS CRITICAL IS THE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE SECTION. IN THE PAST, YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN A FINAL PLAT COME THROUGH, AND AS PART OF THAT, THERE'S A SUBDIVISION VARIANCE. OH, WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS CUL DE SAC. OH, WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THIS STORMWATER POND IN A TRACT. RIGHT. SO THEY COME TO YOU AT THE LAST MINUTE ALONG WITH THE FINAL PLAT TO DO SOME OF THESE THINGS? WELL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE FINAL PLAT NOW. SO WHAT WHAT WE'VE PROVIDED IN THIS ORDINANCE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO GO BACK TO PUBLIC HEARING, GO BACK THROUGH THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD AND CITY COUNCIL SO THAT YOU, AS CITY COUNCIL, HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY DURING PUBLIC HEARING TO HEAR THAT INFORMATION. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR REVISIONS AND COMMENTS ON WHETHER OR NOT A SUBDIVISION VARIANCE IS A REQUIREMENT. SO WITH THAT, THERE ARE FINDINGS. THE ORDINANCE IS 2020 6-01, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THAT BASED UPON THE FINDINGS CONTAINED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM. OKAY.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR MISS DEAN THIS PUBLIC HEARING? DO WE HAVE ANY SIGN UP SHEET? CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING. BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL. MAYOR. I'M SORRY, BEFORE WE GO TO VOTE, THERE WAS THERE WAS ONE THING WE WANTED TO ADD ON PAGES 42 AND 43 OF THE ORDINANCE. THERE ARE SECTIONS ABOUT WHAT WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS EFFECTIVELY, THE STATUTE TALKS ABOUT AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY AND AN ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL TO BOTH TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THESE FINAL PLATS ADMINISTRATIVELY. NOW, WE'RE PROPOSING CITY MANAGER, OF COURSE, TO BE THAT ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIAL THAT WILL EXECUTE THE PLATS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. THE LANGUAGE AND CODE SPEAKS TO THE CITY MANAGER'S AUTHORITY TO APPROVE AND EXECUTE THE PLATS.

OFTENTIMES, THERE ARE ANCILLARY SUBDIVISION DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FINAL PLAT.

STORMWATER MAINS AGREEMENT, A RIGHT OF WAY USE AGREEMENT, OTHER THINGS. AND SO WE WANT TO WORK WITH STAFF TO EXPAND THE AUTHORITIES OF COUNCIL FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THOSE DOCUMENTS WHEN APPROVING A FINAL PLAT ADMINISTRATIVELY. SO FOR WITH YOUR APPROVAL, WE'LL WE'RE GOING TO BE AMENDING SOME LANGUAGE ON PAGE 42 AND 43 FOR, FOR SECOND READING. AND THAT IS PAGE 874 AND PAGE 875 IN YOUR AGENDA PACKAGE. AND WE'LL POINT OUT THAT LANGUAGE FOR YOU ON SECOND READING. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THAT INTENDED REVISION FOR SECOND READING.

PERFECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, MAYOR, GO AHEAD SIR. MOVE FOR APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NUMBER 2020 601. BASED ON THE FINDINGS CONTAINED IN THE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEMORANDUM, SECOND MOTION BY MR. SMITH, SECONDED BY MR. NEWMAN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I VOTE AYE, AND THAT MOTION PASSES. MOVING ON TO ITEM

[19. Ordinance No. 2026-02: (First Reading) An ordinance amending Chapter 2, Article II, Melbourne Code of Ordinances regarding public participation and standards of decorum at City Council meetings.]

NUMBER 2020 602. THANK YOU. MAYOR. THIS IS AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MELBOURNE, BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, RELATING TO PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND STANDARDS OF DECORUM DURING CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS. MAKING FINDINGS, AMENDING CHAPTER TWO OF THE CITY CODE ENTITLED ADMINISTRATION AMENDING SECTION TWO DASH 29. ORDER OF BUSINESS. AMENDING SECTION TWO. DASH 32.

ADDRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL TIME LIMIT. AMENDING SECTION TWO DASH 36 STANDARDS OF DECORUM. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION. PROVIDING EFFECTIVE DATE AND PROVIDING AN ADOPTION SCHEDULE. AND I WILL BE REPORTING ON THIS. AS COUNCIL MAY RECALL, THERE

[01:20:08]

WERE SOME DISCUSSIONS ON THIS FROM LATE LAST YEAR, OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. I PROVIDED COUNCIL WITH SOME GUIDANCE ON STANDARDS OF DECORUM AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WITHIN CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AND BASED ON THAT, COUNCIL GAVE ME DIRECTION TO DRAFT THIS PROPOSED ORDINANCE. I CAN QUICKLY GO THROUGH THE PROPOSED CHANGES FIRST WITHIN SECTION TWO DASH 29, IN THE ORDER OF BUSINESS, I THINK THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF AN ARTIFACT IN THIS SECTION.

THERE WAS A PARENTHETICAL THAT DESCRIBED HOW THE PUBLIC THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION WITHIN OUR COUNCIL AGENDA, THE TIME LIMITS DESCRIBED IN CODE DIDN'T APPLY TO THAT SECTION.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT THAT LANGUAGE EXISTED PRIOR TO 2013, WHEN WE ADDED TIME LIMITS FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT. AND SO IT JUST IT DIDN'T GET CAUGHT IN THE CLEANUP OF THAT. AND SO I'M SUGGESTING TO DELETE THAT PARENTHETICAL, BECAUSE I THINK THE INTENT IS TO HAVE THE THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT BE APPLICABLE TO GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS.

NEXT, WITHIN SECTION TWO DASH 32, THIS WAS A DISCUSSION BETWEEN THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND OUR OFFICE. LAST YEAR. WE ADOPTED NEW LANGUAGE REGARDING THE REQUEST TO SPEAK FORM TO MAKE IT A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT. PRIOR TO MAKING PUBLIC COMMENTS. IN PRACTICE, I THINK THAT'S BECOME FAIRLY DIFFICULT AND UNWIELDY. AND SO THE LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE PROPOSING WITH THIS ORDINANCE IS TO PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY JUST TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE ARE FILLING OUT THE REQUEST TO SPEAK FORM, WHETHER THAT BE BEFORE THEY MAKE COMMENTS OR AFTERWARDS. RIGHT. CLEARLY THE THE PREFERRED PROCEDURE IS TO HAVE THEM DO IT BEFOREHAND. IN THOSE ONE OFF SITUATIONS WHERE THEY DON'T. WE'RE STILL TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT THE THAT THE PUBLIC FILL OUT THOSE REQUESTS TO SPEAK FORMS SO THAT WE HAVE THEIR INFORMATION FOR THE RECORD. ALSO IN SECTION TWO, DASH 32. THERE WAS DISCUSSION LAST YEAR ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO DIRECT COMMENTS TO COUNCIL AS A BODY VERSUS INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM THE BREVARD SCHOOLS CASE LAST YEAR IN FEDERAL COURT, THE COURT'S OPINION DISCUSSED HOW A RESTRICTION ON ADDRESSING AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBER MAY ONLY BE CONSTITUTIONAL IF IT'S APPLIED VERY SPECIFICALLY AND AND UNIFORMLY ACROSS THE BOARD. AS THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE.

I'VE PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE LANGUAGE TO TO EXPAND THAT SCOPE A LITTLE BIT, TO ALLOW PUBLIC SPEAKERS TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL AS A BODY OR INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS. RIGHT. YOU KNOW IT. IT HAS THE POTENTIAL, YOU KNOW, WHEN WHEN YOU'RE HEARING POSITIVE FEEDBACK TO A SPECIFIC COUNCIL MEMBER, IT'S, OH, THAT'S FINE. AND THEN THE MOMENT BECOMES CRITICISM. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S, OH NO, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T HAVE THAT. RIGHT. AND THAT'S THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A PROCEDURE THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE LOOKED ON FONDLY. SO I AM SUGGESTING THAT WE EXPAND THAT AUTHORITY TO ALLOW PUBLIC COMMENTERS TO EITHER ADDRESS COUNCIL AS A BODY OR WHEN IT'S RELEVANT, YOU KNOW, ADDRESS AN INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBER. SO THAT LANGUAGE IS PROPOSED. AND LASTLY, WITHIN THE STANDARDS OF DECORUM, A COUPLE COUPLE OF PROPOSED REVISIONS HERE. ONE LAST YEAR BASED ON, YOU KNOW, SOME TOUGH PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT THAT WERE PRESENTED IN JULY OF LAST YEAR. THERE WAS LANGUAGE ADDED TO THE STANDARDS OF DECORUM SECTION TO PROHIBIT PEOPLE BEING DISRESPECTFUL. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE CONSTITUTIONALLY APPLIED IN A LOT OF SITUATIONS. AND THE BREVARD SCHOOLS CASE, IN THE OPINION THERE, SORT OF REFLECTS THAT. AND SO I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE REMOVE THAT LANGUAGE AS AS A MEANS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE REMAINING CONTENT NEUTRAL IN THESE REGULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, I'M RECOMMENDING THAT WE ADD DEFINITIONS TO PARTICULAR PROVISIONS WITHIN THIS, INCLUDING DEFINING WHAT IT MEANS TO BECOME BOISTEROUS, DEFINING WHAT AN IMPERTINENT REMARK MEANS, DEFINING WHAT A PERSONAL REMARK MEANS. AND AGAIN, RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S NOT A PERSONAL REMARK, ISN'T NECESSARILY ONE ABOUT A PARTICULAR COUNCIL MEMBER, ABOUT A PARTICULAR PERSON. THE INTENT HERE IS WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING AND MAKING PUBLIC COMMENT, THEY'RE SPEAKING TO YOU AS AS THE GOVERNMENTAL BODY.
