SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AN INCREASE IN THE BLANKET PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER 310721

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve an increase in the Blanket Purchase Order
Number 317021 in the amount of $100,000 for a total new amount of $350,000.
BACKGROUND
Blanket purchase order number 310721 for the Workers' Compensation Claims Expense Account
was originally established at$250,000 for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. The blanket purchase order was
exceeded due to changes in Workers' Compensation Law changes effective January 2003,which
in turn created higher medical payments. Additionally, there was a slight increase in the medical
treatment related to Workers' Compensation claims filed.
FISCAL IMPACT
This action increases purchase order number 310721 by$100,000. There are sufficient funds in
the City's Self Insurance Fund Budget to cover this increase.
