Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

I respectfully request an appropriation of $435,000 to the Workers Compensation Insurance Fund for the purpose of paying Workers Compensation payments in FY2022.

 

My administration seeks the creation of a Workers Compensation Insurance Fund in FY2022 to provide a vehicle to pay Workers Compensation salaries, claims, medical/dental bills, and judgments and settlements.

Currently, all of these matters are paid from the General Fund

 

We seek approval to appropriate a total of $735,000 into the Workers Compensation Insurance Fund for FY2022.  A total of $435,000 is to be appropriated from the Tax Levy and a total of $300,000 is to be appropriated from Free Cash.

 

The total appropriation of $735,000 supports the following budget for FY2022:

 

517001 ---Workers Compensation -               $425,000

530001----Medical & Dental Services-          $200,000

576000----Judgements/Settlements                $110,000 

 

My staff will be available to address any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration of this item.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
