4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
This action in necessary to formally renew our contracts with KPS Health Plans for 2002 to provide coverage for
those employees enrolled in KPS Health Plans. The rates reflect an increase of 15.4 % over 2001 rates, and the
policies were renewed "as is", with no additional benefits. The current budget includes funding to cover the cost of
the rate increases. The delay in bringing this before Council was due to KPS converting our contract and benefits
booklets to their standardized form. Both the new contract and benefit booklets were reviewed by staff, our
benefits consultants, Willis of Seattle, and the City Attorney's office for content and correctness. We received the
final revised contracts for execution and benefits booklets fi.om KPS on July 16, 2002.
8. RECOMMENDATION:
1. Motion to approve renewal of the contracts between the City and KPS Health Plans for 2002 and authorize the
Mayor to execute same.

2. CLEARANCE COMMENTS:
5. IMPACT OF NON-PASSAGE:
Failure of the Council to approve this contract renewal would result is no medical coverage for those
employees who elected KPS to provide their healthcare.
6. IMPACT ON STAFFING~ BUDGETS~ FACILITIES~ EQUIPMENT OR OTHER RESOURCES:
The cost of renewing these contracts is based on the premium rates as attached, times the # of employees
and dependents covered in each category, less any contributions they are required to make towards the cost
of coverage. Sufficient funds are available in the 2002 budget to cover the cost of these contracts.
