MEMORANDUM

L.D. Pollock City Administrator

a M.S.A. Dental Contract

We have received notification of new rates on the Dental Plan covering City employees. We are under Contract with Medical Services Association and they

have forwarded a renewal rider covering the following rates:

. Single Family Old Rate: $6.54 $16.50

New Rate: $7.86 $19.82

Increase is therefore $1.32 per month for a single individual or $3.32 per month for a family, of which the City picks up 50%.

The Plan has been in operation since January of 1974 and the experience statement indicates that the operation of the Flan is still in a considerable deficit position, therefore the increased rates are necessary. Dental rates were reviewed recently when the Firemen's Contract was being discussed and the new rate appears to be in line with what other municipal groups are paying.

a I wouid recommend that the Contract with Medical Services Association for Dental Coverage be renewed at the new rates.

The main difference in the new notice is the advancing of the Change Notice from April of each year to December and, as I have pointed out, this is merely to bring it into conformity with the Municipal Taxation Year.
