Date: August 14 1995
Item No. 95-362
Item/Subject: RESOLVE: Appropriation from Reserve for Self Insurance
Workers' Compensation
Responsible Department: Finance
The IMS system used to provide some claims information but not all that was
needed. Since the implementation of Pentamation, and the anticipated phase
out of the IMS system, it is necessary to purchase a workers' compensation
claire tracking system. Charlie Mitchell, the City's claims consultant, has
had extensive exposure to the packages available. Charlie recoumiends
Kirtland Associates of Michigan. They have developed a program that is
specific to the laws of Maine at an estimated cost of $10,000 excluding
hardware.. Others available are higher priced or provide information that is
at best difficult to assimilate. It would be necessary to obtain a waiver of
the Purchasing Regulations to proceed with this acquisition.
Based upon our recent actuarial study of the self-funded Workers'
Compensation plan, the City will have no unfunded liability. Therefore,
adequate funding exists in the reserve to cover the costs. In addition, the
cost would be apportioned to the funds as part of the cost of administering
the Workers' Compensation.
