The Oceanfront is not a "standard" policing environment. The Police Department must take into
account a lot of different facts. The Police Department recognizes that having the wrong Police Officer
at the Oceanfront will cause more issues. Police Officers will initially ask for voluntarily compliance.

CAVALIER RENOVATION and DEVELOPMENT
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION
ITEM #62910
4:10 P.M.
Mayor Sessoms opened the discussion regarding the Cavalier Renovation and Development, as requested
by Councilman Dyer.
Councilman Dyer expressed his appreciation to have the opportunity to clam his position. While he
respects all of the initiatives to preserve the Cavalier Hotel and Virginia Beach being one of the best
managed cities in the country, Councilman Dyer is concerned regarding the issue of trust in the
community. Councilman Dyer has a personal problem with some of the public/private arrangements and
has concern for the City's going into business with private companies. Councilman Dyer would like to
see a better process put into place for such future projects.
Council Lady Ross -Hammond stated she had received phone calls from citizens asking why it seemed that
the City was only willing to work with one developer.
Councilman Dyer advised that when the City deals with a particular individual or company, time and
time again, it raises concern.
Councilman Uhrin stated there should not be any perception on the City working with a particular
individual or company on this project. City Council unanimously voted on a Resolution to offer
incentives for any developer that was willing to step up and save the Cavalier. The City went through a
formal process, met with the broker and responded to every single developer that submitted a bid. This
process could not have been more open to any developer and the perception that says otherwise is greatly
unjust.
Councilman Dyer advised his biggest problem comes with special arrangements and he feels $8 -
MILLION is an excessive amount. The City has a host of things that need saving and, in other situations,
developers find ways to finance their projects without the City's help.
Councilman Uhrin reminded everyone that short of the City's participation, the Cavalier was not going to
be saved. City Council had numerous discussions as a group regarding this fact.
Council Lady Henley advised this particular project is very unique in that the City developed an Incentive
Package before knowing who the developer was going to be, which means the Incentive Package was for
anyone who would be willing to save the Cavalier Hotel. City Council discussed this at the Retreat and
saving the Cavalier and, without any opposition, the Cavalier's historic value to the City was made a
priority. On April 91", when City Council adopted the Resolution and Incentive Package, that vote was
unanimous with no opposition from the public. It was only after the bid was awarded that we begin
hearing opposition. If the opposition is coming now because of who was awarded the bid, then that is
discrimination.
Councilman Moss has received numerous phone calls about the Incentive Package. The concern isn't
who was awarded the Bid; the concern is the deal is too" rich ". Councilman Moss stated the financial
structure of the deal has the City offering more than what is necessary to save the hotel.
Councilman Davis stated: purely from a business perspective, this deal works. When Amerigroup came
to the City they received 3.25%, Lifenet received 2.4% in EDIP. In future years, the City will see a return
in excess of $40 -MILLION, plus the value of properties around the hotel will only increase.

CITY MANAGER'S BRIEFING
CAVALIER RENOVATION and DEVELOPMENT
CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION
ITEM #62910(Continued)
Councilman Uhrin stated the reason there was not a dollar amount given prior to now is because it was
up to the Developer to provide their intentions to the City. The EDIP Formula is the same as any other
economic development in the City. The City told each prospected Developer that the City would be
willing to provide incentives.
Council Lady reminded everyone that there were several bidders.
Councilman Moss feels that anyone that entered into something contractionally took a risk upon
themselves.
Councilman Uhrin advised City Council provided the incentives in good faith.
Councilman Davis reminded the group the Developer has two plans: one that saves the hotel and one that
does not. This is not a "bail out" situation.
Councilman Dyer has come to respect Bruce Thompson and acknowledges that he and his company do
great work and are involved in a tremendous amount of charities. He would like to discuss coming up
with better guidelines and understanding for future projects.

ITEM #62912
Mayor Sessoms advised the Chesapeake City Council is being briefed today on a program very similar to
what the City has addressed re encroachments around Oceana. Delegate Barry Knight advised Mayor
Sessoms of the Briefing. Chesapeake is in a position to come up with 50% of a State Dollar Match for
2015 Budget Issue. There is a possibility that some of the State Funds the City of Virginia Beach receives
could be taken and given to Chesapeake to address encroachments. The BRAC Agreement states we are
to address encroachments around Virginia Beach and Chesapeake.
ITEM #62913
Councilman Moss expressed his appreciation of the Report relative to the UVA analysis of population but
would like to see if we look across a relative time span between what we are predicting and their
projections. Also, what are the consequences of their revenue projections being used versus what the
City projects.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED as an officer of TowneBank (which has a corporate office located at 297
Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), he is directly and indirectly involved in many of TowneBank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles,
TowneBank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he
does not have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
TowneBank has an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Prudential Towne
Realty, which is an affiliate of TowneBank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and
spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the `Act'), it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to idents any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict. If, during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a `personal
interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to be included in the official records of City Council. Mayor Sessoms' letter of
March 24, 2009, is hereby made a part of the record.
June 25, 2013

Vice Mayor Jones DISCLOSED, for many years, he served on the Board of Directors of Resource Bank.
Three (3) years ago, Fulton Financial Corporation ("Fulton Financial') purchased Resource Bank. On
March 31, 2007, Vice Mayor Jones retired from the Board of Directors. Although, he is no longer a
Board Member, he owns stock in Fulton Financial and that stock ownership causes him to have a
"personal interest" in Fulton Financial. However, due to the size of Fulton Financial and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Fulton Financial, or any of the banks that are owned by Fulton
Financial, may have an interest in numerous matters in which Vice Mayor Jones has no personal
knowledge. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local
Government Conflict of Interests Act, it is his practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting
of City Council for the purpose of identifying any matters in which he might have an actual or potential
conflict. If, during his review, he identifies any matters, Vice Mayor Jones will prepare and file the
appropriate disclosure letter to be recorded in the official records of City Council. Vice Mayor Jones
regularly makes this disclosure. Vice Mayor Jones' letter of April 10, 2007, is hereby made a part of the
record.

the National Historical Registry. Mr. Thompson has a number of meetings set with a variety of
individuals that may be affected by this transaction.
Mac Rawls, 612 Thalia Road, Phone: 463-2423, Chairman of the Cavalier Hotel Task Force. Mr. Rawls
advised the Site is far more valuable than the hotel and the City agreed to offer incentives to any
developer that would be willing to save the hotel. Eight (8) developers submitted bids. Mr. Rawls
expressed his appreciation to the City for their efforts to preserve the hotel.
Nancy Creech, President Neptune Festival, spoke in FAVOR. Ms. Creech stated the City is fortunate
that someone stepped up to the plate to save the property. Mr. Thompson does a tremendous job with all
of his properties and is assuming a huge risk. The City had no hand in selecting the winning bid and she
takes personal offense to individuals accusing City Leaders of participating in "back door deals".
Marlayna Castelluzzo, Virginia Beach Taxpayers Alliance, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Castelluzzo
stated it appears the City is a secret partner with Bruce Thompson and Cavalier Properties, LLC. The
City is going against the EDIP Policy and questioned whether the Gap Financing Incentive was
communicated to all Bidders. Mr. Thompson is taking advantage of this program.
Petey Browder, spoke in OPPOSITION. Ms. Browder stated this project should not be considered as the
$18 -MILLION is not the City's to give away. Government has no business in the hotel business.
Fred Aucmap, Ocean Hills Homeowners Assoc., 3928 Oak Ridge Cir, Phone: 425-7359 , spoke in
FAVOR. Judge Aucamp reviewed the Term Sheet and it appears to be the only option unless the hotel is
demolished. This project is far more desirable than having 2,800 high rise condominiums. Judge
Aucamp would like to have the traffic on Holley Road addressed and will be meeting with Mr. Thompson
on this subject in the near future. Judge Aucamp thanked City Council for their efforts in preserving this
historical hotel.
Bernice Pope, VB Historic Preservation Commission, 214 44th Street, Phone: 343-8666, spoke in
FAVOR. Ms. Pope feels if the City loses the hotel the reality is the City loses a connection to the Resort's
past. This is a great opportunity to save this "grand old building ".

PUBLIC COMMENT ITEM #62922(Continued)
Joe Bellec, 605 Barbertion Drive, Phone: 348-5543, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Bellec expressed
concern over the expediency of this deal and why so many incentives are being offered.
Chris Bonney, 813 Gilbert Cir, Phone: 481-7030, spoke in FAVOR. Mr. Bonney is a long time City
resident and created a FaceBook Page, entitled: "Save the Old Cavalier Hotel ". Today more than 3,400
are taking part in this FaceBook conversation. Mr. Bonney applauds City Council for extending
incentives to the bidders and cannot wait to see what happens with this hotel. This is a win/win for
everyone as it will create year `round jobs and bring visitors to the City.
Scott Cutchin, Cavalier Task Force, 404 54th Street, spoke in FAVOR. Mr. Cutchin is excited at the
possibility of the hotel being renovated into a 5 -Star Hotel and will become a Grand Historical Hotel.
Currently, the Commonwealth has only 4 Historical Hotels.
Tanya Arney, 744 Tan Oak Court, Phone: 513-4056, expressed concern about funding and stated families
in the City should not incur the tax burden. Mrs. Arney recommended the City work with the Developer
to allow him to gain more capital to finance this project solely. The City must have good business
practices and remember all taxpayers.
Chris Arney, 744 Tan Oak Court, Phone: 513-4056, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Arney resides in Rose
Hall District and a number of families are struggling to make ends meet. Citizens should not take on this
tax burden.
G. George Minns, 236 Shipp Lane, Phone: 575-8109, stated Seatack Community is the oldest African
American Community in America and the City has done nothing to preserve it. Mr. Minns expressed
concern regarding the City's approach being used which is exclusive to "White Businesses ". Mr. Minns
would like to see a change in the way the City does business. They should follow recommendations of the
Minority Business Council.
Andrew Jackson, 153 Upperville Rd, Phone: 472-0901, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Jackson expressed
concern over the funding and the City's business approach.
Jiminy Frost, 2240 Windom Place, Phone: 343-6768, spoke in FAVOR.
Dean Anninous, 1545 Wolfsnare, Phone: 759-7795, spoke in OPPOSITION expressing concern over the
funding.
Robert Rust spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Rust expressed concern over the funding and feels it is an insult
to the rest of the hard working citizens.
Henry Howell, Jr., Eminent Domain Law Group, spoke in FAVOR. Mr. Howell is a property rights
advocate and endorses public/private partnerships as an alternate use of Eminent Domain.
R. C. Harding, spoke in OPPOSITION, stating he felt compelled to appear in person to express his
outrage over this project. Corporate welfare cannot continue.
James Alverson , 2452 Seven Kings Road, Phone: 817-1796, spoke in FAVOR. Mr. Alverson drives from
the City to Langley every day because he and his wife , after being in Virginia Beach on two Military
assignments, chose to make the City their home. Mr. Alverson advised this is a win/win project and
makes good business sense.

Kristina Chastain, 5401 Lakeside Avenue, Phone: 615-0920, owner of Captain George 's Seafood
Restaurant and a major tax contributor to the City, spoke in FAVOR. Ms. Chastain stated historic
properties are rare in Virginia Beach. The City should not miss the opportunity to save this hotel.
Robert Dean spoke in OPPOSITION Mr. Dean advised the recent Virginian Pilot On -Line Poll showed
77% of individuals do not feel the City should participate in this deal. Mr. Dean stated the hotel does not
provide anything to the City and is just another example of government picking "winners and losers ".
B.A. Andrews, spoke in OPPOSITION and requested the City let the Cavalier "die ". The City does not
have the funds to put toward this project.
Marlayna Castelluzzo, spoke in OPPOSITION and stated it is interesting to see how much money is found
when it comes to helping "friends" of the City.
Albert Burckard, spoke in FAVOR and urged City Council to do everything possible to save this "grand
old hotel ".
Waverly Woods, Chairwoman, Hampton Roads Tea Party, 2453 Haversham Close, Phone: 749-8266,
spoke in OPPOSITION to the $18 -MILLION investment. Ms. Woods requested the City allow Mr.
Thompson to assume the risk on his own as the City never has enough money for public safety or
education. The City Council's priorities are not in line with the citizens' priorities.
Reid Greenmun , 2405 Cliff Cutter Drive, Phone: 426-5589, spoke in OPPOSITION and requested City
Council not support the deal. Mr. Thompson should assume the risk alone and this is just another
example of government picking/choosing winners and losers.
Keith Freeman, Hampton Roads Tea Party, spoke in OPPOSITION. Mr. Freeman stated the hotel should
be saved but should not be done with public monies.
There being no speakers, Mayor Sessoms CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING.

26 the season ticket holder is entitled to attend. If an event is comprised of several
27 performances, and an admission charge must be paid for each separate
28 performance, each performance shall constitute an "event" for purposes of this
29 article. "Admission charge" shall not include the registration fee paid by persons
30 who attend a conference, convention, seminar, symposium or similar event
31 provided a majority of the attendees are, prior to registration, members of the
32 organization conducting the event.

The Honorable Mayor and

Subject: 2014 Health Care Plan Design & Rates
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
MUNICIPAL CENTER
BUILDING 1, Room 234
2401 COURTHOUSE DRIVE
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23456-9001
The Benefits Executive Committee (BEC) appreciated the feedback provided by city and school
leadership during the June 4, 2013, comprehensive briefing on our 2014 Health Plan projections
and strategy. The attached document provides answers to questions asked during the briefing as
well as a revised recommendation on changes to plan design and the resulting impacts to
employee rates and total plan cost.
The BEC has spent a tremendous amount of time over the past five months along with Mercer,
our health care consultant, to analyze our health care data, trends, costs, plan design change
options and strategies. Based on your feedback, the BEC has developed revised
recommendations that will reduce projected plan costs by $3.8 million. We believe the new plan
design more closely approximates the cost savings city and school leadership desires while still
providing reasonable cost sharing with our employees.
An ordinance outlining the revised Health Plan recommendations will be prepared and placed on
the June 25, 2013 agenda for your consideration. If you have any questions before you consider
the ordinance, do not hesitate to contact me or Linda Matkins, Director of Benefits at 263-6917.
Sincerely,
Deputy City Manager

2014 Health Care Plan Update
and Recommendation
VIRGINIA BEACH CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
H H EAD OF THE CURVE
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools June 14, 2013
Is the $200 maternity payment a copayment for each visit?
Increase POS global maternity office visit copay to $200 ($50) (< $0.1 million) Yes
The $200 global maternity office visit copay would not be for each visit. The Maternity Care
benefit on the Point of Service plan provides coverage at 100% following the payment of the
annual deductible, a $40 copay for confirmation of pregnancy visit, and a $50 copay for
remaining outpatient OB services referred to as the global payment. This covers routine
prenatal and postnatal care rendered by the OB/GYN, and does not cover inpatient hospital
admission or any other applicable charges. The recommendation is to increase the global
payment from $50 to $200 for a cost savings to the plan of approximately $100K. While the
change is not a large cost savings, it brings our plan design in alignment with our neighboring
municipalities and school divisions.
Provide an explanation of the difference between the limited and preferred pharmacy options,
and why we selected one over the other.
Limited pharmacy network ($1.1 million) NO
Preferred pharmacy network ($0.6 million) Yes
Preferred Pharmacy — The preferred pharmacy option allows employees to have prescriptions
filled at any pharmacy currently under the Optima Health network; however, copays would be
lower if prescriptions are filled at the two preferred pharmacies. By incenting prescriptions to
be filled at preferred pharmacies, there would be a projected savings to our plan of
approximately $600K due to lower negotiated rates with the preferred pharmacy providers. A
review of our plan data indicates that 35% of our current members have prescriptions filled
with the recommended preferred providers. This is the highest utilization of a chain pharmacy
in combination with another available retail pharmacy to achieve these savings.
Limited Pharmacy — The limited pharmacy option excludes prescriptions to be filled at one of
the retail chain pharmacies, representing 27% of scripts filled. There would be a projected cost
savings of $1.1M due to lower negotiated rates with other participating pharmacies.
We would recommend increased pharmacy copays in either scenario; however under the
preferred option the employee may avoid the higher copay by filling prescriptions at a
preferred pharmacy. Additionally the preferred pharmacy option creates an option for
employees to be better consumers, and allows employees to obtain maintenance medications
to manage their health; which aligns with the mission of the vBWellnessforLife program.
The Preferred Pharmacy option is recommended over the Limited Pharmacy option due to
disruption to employees.
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools 2 June 14, 2013
Provide a greater explanation of the individual mandate, reinsurance, and comparative
effectiveness fees. Must we maintain our own reinsurance coverage if we have to pay this
federally mandated reinsurance fee?

Total $9.3
Individual Mandate — Individuals must obtain minimum essential coverage through an
employer, individual exchange, or Medicaid, or face an individual penalty. The penalty would
be the greater of a flat dollar amount or a specified percentage of income. There are 2057
school and 588 city benefits eligible employees that are not enrolled on the City/Schools' health
care plan. The Consolidated Benefits Office conducted a survey of these employees. A 20%
response rate was received with 96.7% of the responses stating they have other health care
coverage. Of those that responded, 49% have coverage through their spouse's plan and 42.1%
have Tricare. Based upon the survey results and other assumptions made by our actuary, it was
assumed for projection purposes that 25% of those not enrolled will elect coverage for
January 1, 2014. The projected cost assumed that these employees would enroll in the lowest
cost plan at the employee -only tier.
Reinsurance Fees —The federally mandated Reinsurance Fee is expected to be temporary
through 2016 to stabilize insurance premiums in the individual market by funding reinsurance
payments to health insurance issuers that cover high-risk individuals on the individual market
and providing revenue to the federal government. The fee equals the average number of
covered lives (includes dependents) during the benefit year, times the national contribution
rate for that benefit year. It is payable by self-funded plans as well as health insurers. For 2014
the national contribution rate is $63 per covered life. Enrollment must be reported by
November 15th each year (2014, 2015, and 2016). Then the Department of Health and Human
Services will provide notice of final fees by December 15th. Payments are due 30 days
thereafter. Separately as a self-funded plan, we carry $500K individual stop -loss coverage,
which we will continue, to protect our plan from high cost claims. Our stop loss carrier pays
claims in excess of $500K per individual.
Comparative Effectiveness Fee — The Comparative Effectiveness Fee, or Patient -Centered
Outcomes Research Institute fee, is a federally mandated payment to fund research on
outcomes and clinical effectiveness of medical treatments. The fee is $1 per covered life per
year in 2013, will increase to approximately $2 in 2014, and will be adjusted in future years
through 2019 based upon projected per capita amount of national health expenditures.
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools 3 June 14, 2013
Of the 9% trend, what portion is attributable to medical versus pharmacy? Nationally, the
health care spend is 6%.
Mercer's actuarial trend guidelines for 2014 allow for pharmacy trend to 8.5% and medical
trend to 9%. 2012 trend exceeded both of those estimates with pharmacy specific trend for
2012 at 13.5%. When developing rates for 2014 we had no real trend information for 2013
because of the timing of our analysis. We estimated trend at 9% for both medical and pharmacy
for 2014. Pharmacy represents 22% of our total health care spend.
Note that while the vBWellnessforLife program incentive did not begin until January 2013,
employees received biometric screenings required for the program between April 1, 2012 and
October 31, 2012. Identification of certain conditions and adherence to medications for these
conditions may have contributed to the increase in pharmacy spend in 2012. An increase in
costs was anticipated in the first year of the program due to physician visits for chronic
conditions and medication adherence. Proper management of chronic conditions is expected
to avoid utilization of higher cost services as we extend into the second year of the program
into 2014.
While the national trend is approximately 6%, it is net of plan design changes. National trend
prior to plan design changes has been approximately 8.5%.
Nationally a family of four spends $20,000 on health care. How does this compare to our plan?
The 2013 Milliman Medical Index sites the total annual cost of healthcare for a typical family of
four covered by a PPO plan is $22,030. The figures presented by Milliman include the employer
contribution towards the total cost of the health care coverage. Accordingly, of the $22,030
total medical cost for a family of four, pursuant to Milliman data the employer pays about
$12,886 toward this cost while the employee pays the remaining $9,144, consisting of $5,544 in
employee contributions and $3,600 in employee out-of-pocket expenses.
The potential costs for a family on the Virginia Beach POS plan in 2013 assuming participation in
vBWellnessforLife vary depending on utilization of the plan. However, the employer is expected
to pay on average $11,182 toward families' costs, while the employee pays the remaining
$6,386 in employee contributions for a total of $17,568. For out-of-pocket expenses highlighted
in the Milliman Medical Index, high -utilizing employees on the Virginia Beach POS plan utilizing
in -network services may pay up to the maximum out-of-pocket limit of $3,000. Note that
members utilizing out -of -area network and out -of -network services may incur additional costs.

What are the criteria to be compliant in the vBWellnessforLife program? Is the incentive based
on achieving certain outcomes?
The incentive for the vBWellnessforLife program is not based upon achieving health outcomes
or goals, but rather determines health risk through a biometric screening and lifestyle
questions, and requires quarterly participation with a health coach if 2 or more health risks are
present. The program looks at the following health risks:
• Body Mass Index (BMI) - equal to or greater than 27 (determined by height and weight)
• Blood Pressure — If greater than or equal to 140/90 (if higher in either number)
• Total Cholesterol — If greater than or equal to 200
• Hemoglobin Alc — if 7% or greater
• Weekly exercise — If Tess than 3 times each week
• Tobacco use in the past 3 months
Health coaching services are provided through Optima Health's clinical care team and their
partner Healthyroads®. Healthyroads® provides a comprehensive telephone -based health
coaching program with award winning online tools. Health coaches work with participants to
help set and meet participant's goals and design personal meal and exercise programs.
Participants can also measure their progress with online trackers and have 24/7 access to
health information.
The City/Schools have not yet considered an outcomes -based approach to the vBWellnessforLife
program. In the October 2012 Benefits Magazine from the International Foundation of
Employee Benefit Plans, they state "due to the lack of scientific evidence, the controversial
nature of this approach and the potential backlash from employees, companies considering this
strategy should do so cautiously." The article goes on to explain that "reward programs, or
carrots, are more likely to convey a sense of cooperation between employer and employee in
seeking a mutually beneficial goal -healthier employees. One of the controversial outcomes
stated in the article discusses that "the most vulnerable individuals may end up having to pay
more. Research shows the rates of poor outcomes tied to behaviors (smoking, for example)
tend to be higher for racial and ethnic minorities or workers who are less educated, older or
poor. Often, those are the employees without access to healthy, affordable food or safe spaces
in their communities where they can be physically active."

Please provide outcomes data on the on-site pharmacy being offered by Chesapeake Public
Schools.
The independent pharmacy established by Chesapeake Schools opened March 18, 2013, and
while there are no outcomes data at this time, we will follow and monitor the progress of this
program.
A suggestion was made for outside organizations and large employers to participate on our
Benefits Executive Committee.
The City/Schools do not have representation of outside organizations participating on the
Benefits Executive Committee; however, the oversight of the plan is managed as follows:
The Benefits Executive Committee is comprised of executive leadership within the City and
Schools, bringing the interests of the financial, human resources, and benefits perspectives to
the discussion of health care.
The City Attorney's Office provides an attorney as legal counsel to ensure that the health plan
meets all legal requirements.
The Director of our Consolidated Benefits Office is an Executive Board Member of the Virginia
Business Coalition on Health and a Member of the Virginia Chamber of Commerce's Executive
Health Care Committee, collaborating with other business leaders, both public and private, in
the Commonwealth regarding health care.
Mercer contributes to the BEC meetings, providing actuarial and healthcare expertise for the
analysis of our clinical data, financial projections, knowledge of trends, industry standards, and
leading edge options and solutions for consideration. Mercer has the experience and expertise
in all aspects of employee benefits related to public and private employers, with a diverse client
base in terms of size, maturity, industry sector and geographic location. Mercer's Survey of
Employer -Sponsored Health Plans is the nation's largest, most authoritative annual survey on
the top of health benefits. Mercer utilizes data from their national survey, providing Virginia
Beach with benchmarking data that provides the opportunity to compare our plan to our peer
groups.
What would be the percent increase on our plan without the added cost of the Affordable Care
Act?
The combined medical and pharmacy trend claims trend is expected to be 9% versus the 12.2%
increase with the added cost of the Affordable Care Act.
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools 6 June 14, 2013
Why did the BEC not recommend the spousal surcharge change for 2014?
Surcharge for spouses with available employer coverage
($0.8 million) No
To remain competitive for recruitment and retention, the City and Schools are concerned with
implementing this option. Administration of this option would be reliant upon self-reported
certification by the employee that the spouse did not have access to other coverage. Spouses
currently represent 11% of total enrollment.
Explain the expansion of Medicaid in Virginia, and if it would be a desirable plan if offered?
The Affordable Care Act allowed each state the ability to expand the income threshold for
Medicaid eligibility to 138% of the federal poverty level. This would allow more low income
individuals access to Medicaid coverage. Not all states have agreed to expand coverage.
Virginia is one of the states that have not agreed to Medicaid expansion to date. Medicaid
expansion has the potential for some employers to reduce the number of employees enrolled
in their plans if employees decide to enroll in Medicaid. For 2014 we do not have any favorable
impact estimated as a result of Virginia Beach employees migrating off of the employer plan.
Incremental changes are made to our plan year -over -year, making small financial changes. Why
hasn't there been a complete plan design change and the use of a high deductible health plan.
We are working towards lowering trend through programs like vBWellnessforLife and other
value -based benefit designs, Accordant Rare Disease Management, and the use of SQCN
(Sentara Quality Care Network) to manage health and affect trend, rather than through
cost -shifting to the employee.
The salary for nearly 40% of our benefits -eligible employees is Tess than $40K annually and
there is a concern with cost -shifting to a full -replacement high deductible health plan that we
will not remain competitive with neighboring cities and school divisions.
The City/Schools currently offer a High Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account
option, but only represents 1.4% of total enrollment. It does, however, provide a lower cost
plan option. It has a $1,250/$2,500 deductible with most services covered at 70%, and a $500
annual employer contribution into the Health Savings Account. The 2013 monthly premiums
(with vBWellnessforLife) are Employee Only $26.94 and Family $237.00 (based upon 12 -month
premiums).
In addition to an in-house pharmacy, it was suggested that we consider an on-site clinic.
We will research and consider an in-house pharmacy and on-site health clinic as future
considerations.

Virginia Beach City Public Schools 7 June 14, 2013

While our plan provides adequate coverage, it was stated that our plan is unaffordable and we
should consider changing the coverage levels to make it more affordable to employees.
Considerations can be made with regard to reducing services covered under the plan; however,
the Affordable Care Act requires plans to provide minimum essential health benefits, under the
Shared Responsibility provision, including: Ambulatory services, emergency services,
hospitalization, maternity/newborn care, mental health and substance abuse services including
behavioral treatment, prescription drug coverage, rehabilitation and habilitative services, lab
work, preventive wellness and chronic disease management, and pediatric including oral and
vision up to age 19. For failure to provide minimum essential health benefits, employees are
eligible for the premium tax credit and the employer is assessed a penalty.
Employers must also meet the Affordability requirements, offering a plan with an actuarial
value of at least 60% or higher, and one that does not exceed more than 9.5% of household
income for single coverage.
While the Shared Responsibility and Affordability requirements are not a concern with our
plans at this time, it is a provision that we must consider when reducing benefits coverage.
Recognizing that the healthcare industry is facing difficult times, a question was asked about
the shortage of physicians and nurses in the future.
With the increase of Americans accessing health care, concern has been expressed with regard
to the availability of primary care physicians.
Telemedicine is one option that may provide relief to busy physician offices for services that
could have been handled via video conference or telephone. Telemedicine provides the
opportunity (not a requirement) for members to receive 24/7 health care for certain types of
services. The benefit is not meant to replace the primary care physician relationship, but to
provide the opportunity for members to receive consultation, prescriptions, or to be directed to
the most appropriate level of care without utilizing more costly urgent care and emergency
services. It also allows members to receive services at a time convenient to them, thereby
avoiding time away from work.
Patient Centered Medical Homes are also a new health care delivery model within primary care
practices that will help to lessen the concern for access to care. This coordinated care effort
utilizes qualified clinicians to provide appropriate levels of care to the patient; allowing the
medical providers the opportunity to care for more patients while achieving efficiency,
enhanced quality of care, and greater access to services.
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools 8 June 14, 2013
How will the new telemedicine benefit be communicated and will all employees be able to use
this computer technology to utilize the services?
The Telemedicine benefit may be used by telephone contact or video conferencing. It is being
provided as an option for receiving services and is not a requirement. Only those employees
that desire this type of service will use the benefit, however, the option will be communicated
and the Consolidated Benefits Office will be available to answer any questions as well.
Is mail order pharmacy offered on our plan and what would be the savings?
Our plans currently offer mail order pharmacy. Mail order pharmacy is intended for those that
take maintenance medications and provides a 90 day supply at the cost of only double the
normal prescription co -pay amounts. As of December 2012, 2.9% of prescriptions were filled
through mail order pharmacy. Traditionally, mail order drugs cost less than retail, but with the
high utilization of generic drugs (78.5% at 12/31/2012 for our plan), there is not enough cost
savings to achieve a positive financial impact on our plan; however, there is a cost savings to
the member with a lower total copay. Note, however, that if the cost of the drug is less than
the copay, the member will pay the lower cost at a retail pharmacy, where they would pay the
stated copay amount for mail order. For example, a member filling a prescription with an
actual cost of $4 for a 30 -day supply would pay $12 for a 3 -month supply at a retail pharmacy,
versus $20 for mail order (2 $10 copays for a 3 -month supply).
Confirmation was requested that our health fund balance was over $30M several years ago and
is now only projected to be $4.2M at the end of 2013.
The health fund balance was spent down over the past several years to absorb the rising cost of
health care while not passing along any plan design or premium increases to employees.

$6,558,231.28
It was stated that the biggest savings is achieved by increasing the deductible and that we
should consider a High Deductible Health Plan where employees could use the savings accounts
to offset their deductible.
The City/Schools do currently offer a High Deductible Health Plan at lower premiums for those
that want to consider the option, but it is not the only option. Currently there are
approximately 200 members on the plan with a deductible of $1,250 per person and $2,500 per
family.
City of Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach City Public Schools 9 June 14, 2013
June 4, 2013 Recommended Changes
The following plan design changes were initially recommended by the Benefits Executive
Committee:
❖ Increasing POS deductible to $200/$400
❖ Removing POS deductible from office visit/urgent care
❖ Increasing POS hospital copay to $350
❖ Increasing POS outpatient surgery copay to $200
❖ Increase pharmacy copays
❖ Implement a Preferred Pharmacy Network
❖ Increase POS global maternity office visit to $200
These plan design changes would result in cost reductions of approximately $2.8 million. These
reductions would reduce the required status quo rate increase from 12.2% down to 10.1%,
resulting in the following employee contributions (assuming participation in VBWellnessforLife
and 12 -month premiums):
❖ Employee Only $49.40 (increase of $4.54)
❖ Employee & Child $126.68 (increase of $11.64)
❖ Employee & Children $339.10 (increase of $31.17)
❖ Employee & Spouse $305.74 (increase of $28.10)
❖ Family $586.03 (increase of $53.86)
