8. Discussion/Action on Receipt of Bids,Employee Health Insurance,Mr. Robert
L. Feike, Feike and Associates.
Mr. Feike went over the bids received, the Companies that submitted the bids
and their bid price. He spoke of"pre-existing conditions" of some employees
that had a direct effect on the bid prices. He recommended that the Council
approve the bid from the Humana Health System for a plan offering a PPO and
HMO—"MO4". Though each offering will have an increased cost to the
employee,via hi er co-payments and deductibles, these plans will provide
quality health overage to the employee. Affordability to the City is a major
consideratio in any expenditure. These recommended plans appear to be the
best coverag�and the amount within the approved City Budget.
� r
Motion to accept Mr. Feike's recommendation: Councilman Buell
Second: Councilman Campbell
For: All Against: None
9. Discussion/Action on GVEC proposal to construct a 5,000 square foot building
in the Industrial Park.
City Administrator presented the concept proposed by GVEC'that would
require the City to waive the normal costs associated with plan review and
inspection costs on the construction. Upon the closing after the sale of the
building, GVEC then would split the profit from the sale with the City. Similar
buildings in Marion and Schertz have brought in profits in excess of the charges
waived by the respective cities. It is reasonable to assume the building in Cibolo
will experience a similar outcome. Further, the City would gain a tax paying
business, a utility customer for water and sewage, foster economic development
and increase the number of job opportunities in Cibolo.
Motion to waive charges: Councilman Buell
Second: Councilwoman Tokar
For: All Against: None
10. Discussion/Action on Amendment Number One to City Ordinance Number 455
to add stop signs on Deer Creek Blvd. at the intersection of Oak Creek Drive in
the Deer Creek Subdivision of the City of Cibolo, TX.
Chief Riffe reported that after a traffic study of the intersection, review of the
number of violations of speed limits and total number of citations issued by his
Police Force and other circumstances, this intersection merited the addition of
the stop signs making the intersection a four-way stop.
Motion to Amend the Ordinance: Councilman Glisar
Second: Mayor Pro-Tem Ridge
For: All Against: None
