COUNCIL ACTION 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. n(� nFVAnTMF'NT RFAn Manager's Comments: i_/✓��9mlA V�d/N-1MuvNXWYX �UI.e-'n+'anao o��GCA'ra.P uk V !'ITV M➢NA(: F.R Associated Information: Budget Approval FI OI FrTOR Legal Approval v A Introduced For Passage First ReadingPage of Referral 6p m+L Assigned to Councilor Tyler August 14, 1995 95-362 0 CITY OF BANGOR (TITLE.) geSUIUPI.. _.
