HomeMy WebLinkAboutJ- 5 Staff Report Worker's Compensation PO
CONSENT CALENDAR
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: VICTORIA CROSS, DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES/PERSONNEL OFFICER
VIA: RICK COLE, CITY MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 7, 2003
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR AN INCREASE IN THE BLANKET PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER 310721
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIMS EXPENSE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT OF $100,000
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.
