Advantages Disadvantages
Avoid state mandated coverage Some potential for higher costs
Avoid state premium tax (2%) (Stop Loss only) Fluctuation of costs month by month
Reserves belong to the City, and are used to Level of employer involvement (i.e. data review,
stabilize the costs for future claims and learning curve) — some mitigation by on line
unpredictable costs administration
Flexibility/Control of plan — City has final say HIPAA compliance responsibilities
Detailed claims reporting; employee advocate
Lower non-claims cost
Self-funded Plans will not be subject to increased
fees and surcharges beginning in 2014 due to Health

12/12 contract means all claims incurred and paid in 12 months are covered.
If incurred in December but billed in January — no coverage.
The 12/15 Employer's Health Coalition of Washington (EHCW) contract is more

This city had been fully insured for many years and did not have any claims data available. Using data from six other self-
funded cities, undervvriting was able to establish expected liability at approximately 22% less than the fully insured premium.
The city contracted MillimanUSA to do an independent evaluation of EHCW underwriting assumptions and conclusions.
MillimanUSA stated that projections were "aggressive" but within reason. Stated that in their opinion, city would fare better
over the long term if self funded.
By July, it was very clear that EHCW underwriting was actually quite conservative. Reserves were accumulating 37% faster
than was predicted. (Specific # will be finalized by the end of January)
At this time, the 2012 renewal for this city was 5.76% increase over 2011 — AWC's increase was 11%.

EHCW Partially Self-Funded Cost = Projected maximum claim liability multiplied by 125% ($4,472,306) plus the fixed costs

The estimated 1 year cost differential figure is the difference between AWC Premium and EHCW's recommended partially
Self-Funded cost.
EHCW recommends that the City set the first year's medical budgets at the premium amount that the AWC renewal would have
been then set aside any potential difference between premium and the gross maximum liability to mitigate future increases due
to claim trending or reform costs.

L al Resolution No.4418
Administrative Recommendation:
Discussion only.
Background Summary:
Pierce County Transit—or its Transportation Benefit Area Board has raised the issue of whether
Auburn desired to remain in the Pierce County Transportation Improvement Benefit Area. The
issue is potentially complicated by Sumner's potential departure from that area.
It may be that Sumner will choose not to depart, in which case this is a non-issue. But if Sumner
decides it does wish to depart, the Lakeland Hills transit service area(in Aubum)potentially
becomes an impermissible island. Island service areas may not be permitted as the:service areas
aze all supposed to be continuous. But assuming that Auburn wishes tostay in the benefit area
it was in the benefit area pre-annexarion of Lakeland Hills) and assuming that Sumner departs,
the issue of the noncontiguous island would need to be addressed. There aze some argumenu we
could make but would need to know if tkiat is consistent with the City s posirion.
At any rate,Aubum is served currently served by the Interlocal Agreement in which Pierce
Transit is a party. That a reement would continue regazdless of whether Auburn is or is not in
the benefit area.
