Employer-paid benefits expenses in this fund are decreased $365,510, or 1.7%, based on actual trends in expenditures. - Budgeted reimbursements are increased $335,640, or 135.5%, due to increased rebates provided by the City s prescription drug provider. - The budgeted addition to fund balance is the net of addition to fund balance in the Retiree Life and Health Fund (+$1,067,650) and a projected use of fund balance in the Employee Taxes and Benefits Fund (-$398,860). - Budgeted expenditures in the Health Benefits Fund are increased $1,700,370, or 8.7%, almost entirely due to rising health care costs. The proposed budget includes an anticipated increase of 5% in premiums paid by employees for health insurance to help cover the rising cost of health care.
