BILL SUMMARY FACT SHEET Approve 7 – 0 Mike
Weinstein, former Jacksonville CFO, went over the concerns of the Council
Auditors as well as outlining the agreement between the City and the
Firefighters and Police unions. Both unions want to leave the self-insured
City policy. The premium costs will go down from 68% to 58% for how much the City pays for employees’
health coverage. The unions agreed to stay under the City’s plan until
January 2020 and under the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan until December 2022. Kim
Taylor, Assistant Council Auditor, outlined concerns about the agreement that
are outlined in the attachment from the Council Auditor’s Office. The concern
of de-consolidation and need to dip into the City’s reserves. The creation of
whatever benefits package is decided upon will not come before the City
Council for approval. Randy
Wyse (IAFF) and Steve Zona (FOP) said they agreed with everything Mr.
Weinstein had said regarding the collective bargaining agreements. Mr.
Weinstein clarified that the retirees that would be allowed to come into the
new health plans are not currently a part of the City’s premiums so this
would not add to any cost for the City. |

Estimated Annual Cost (net of

Overall Concerns:
1.
Deconsolidation
– The option for
IAFF and FOP members to split from the City’s healthcare plan further chips
away at and reduces the benefits of consolidated government. Different
healthcare plan rates and benefits for these employees could be negotiated by
the City while these employees remain a part of the City’s healthcare plan
rather than allowing them to form a separate plan.
2.
Loss of Control
– The City will
have little to no control or oversight over the new healthcare plans for FOP
and IAFF members except during collective bargaining. The City will be
responsible for paying its portion (58.8%) of healthcare costs for FOP and IAFF
Members even though the City and City Council will have no involvement in
decision making regarding the benefits to be provided to these employees.
Enriched plans could result in significantly higher costs for the City.
3.
Impact to City/Other City
employees – Assuming
the separate plans occur, the City’s actuary projects that in calendar year
2020, the current healthcare plan costs for all other City employees/retirees
will be $15.6 million (or 40.3%) more than what will be paid in by the City and
other City employees/retirees. If these additional costs are covered through
the use of the healthcare reserves, this would significantly reduce the reserve
balance. Most importantly, the use of one-time reserves for recurring costs
does nothing to address the problem that rates paid by the other City
employees/retirees would be significantly out of synch with the actual costs
and therefore, would necessitate significant future increases. For calendar
year 2021, using the actuary’s assumption that there will be an 8% increase in
claims, without any rate increase, this would mean that the healthcare plan
costs for all other City employees/retirees would be $19.8 million (or 51.3%) more
than what would be paid in by the City and other City employees/retirees.
4.
Self Insured vs. Fully Insured – Given the unknowns surrounding
these plans, if the FOP and IAFF decide to go self-insured, it is unknown how
their initial reserves required by State Statute (60 days of average claims on
hand) would be funded. The City could have to pay 58.8% of the costs if built
into the premium.
5.
Impact from Retirees – Currently the City contributes
nothing toward retirees’ healthcare costs and retirees are not allowed to
rejoin the City’s healthcare plan once they leave the plan. If retirees have
the ability to rejoin the proposed new plan, this would significantly increase
the City’s costs because the City has agreed to pay 58.8% of the total cost of
the plan. (For example, if the cost of a retiree’s plan is $10,000 and the
retiree rejoins under the proposed plan, the City would now be required to
contribute an additional $5,880 to the plan versus $0 under the current
structure.)
6.
Access/Audit/Investigative Rights – We are awaiting confirmation
on whether the Council Auditor’s Office and the Office of Inspector General
will have the same audit/investigative rights that we have related to the
current plan. Also, we have asked what the City will be able to access and
review as part of normal day-to-day activity including such tasks as approving
payments related to the new plans.
Council Auditor’s Office
Bill 2018-817
Summary:
The
proposed bill will authorize a Redevelopment Agreement with 2018 Leila Jax, LLC
(Developer), along with a Property Exchange Agreement and other related
documents. Pursuant to the terms of the Redevelopment Agreement and the Property
Exchange Agreement, the Developer proposes to convey a 0.53 acre parcel, with
an estimated value of $896,237, to the City in exchange for the City to convey
a 0.63 parcel, with an estimated value of $680,000, to the Developer. The City
parcel to be conveyed consists of a portion of May St. and the “jug handle”
located on the corner of Leila St. and Riverside Ave. The City will also
contribute the necessary credit acres of Water Quality Compensatory Credits for
all the improvements with an estimated value of $108,000.
After
the property exchange, the Developer intends to develop approximately 15,000
square feet of retail improvements and a surface parking lot to support the
retail improvements, with an estimated Capital Investment of $6 Million. The
Developer will also construct a public use surface parking lot (Surface Parking
Lot) on the parcels conveyed to the City, with an estimated cost of $154,933
and will make road repairs to Leila St. adjacent to the project parcel, with an
estimated cost of $173,388.
Upon
substantial completion of the Surface Parking Lot, the DIA will make an up to
$99,500 contribution to the Developer as a reimbursement of costs for the
design and construction of the Surface Parking Lot. All cost overruns will be
the responsibility of the Developer.
The
total estimated City investment for this project will be $887,500. This
consists of the land conveyed to the Developer, Water Quality Compensatory
Credits and the contribution for the City Parking Lot.
Once
the City conveys the property it owns to the Developer, the City has no further
recourse with the Developer if the retail improvements are not constructed.
However, this property would be on the tax rolls and there will be performance
bonds or a letter of credit to ensure completion of the Surface Parking Lot and
Leila St. Improvements.
