Discussion regarding the City's health insurance. There have been

Mutual of Omaha has been our carrier since August 1, 1985. It was
suggested that the Insurance Committee take a look at this.
Don reported on the mill levies allowed for the Airport Authority
and for the Piremen's Relief Association. It appears that contract
revenue from the fire districts could also be used for firemen's
relief. Even though the amount in the fund exceeds 4% of the
taxable valuation, the actuarial report of 1992 indicates that the
firemen's relief association is underfunded. The Committee will
consider this further during the 1995-96 budget preparation.
