Lotter, City Manager <br />CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report Comments attached <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign an updated Joint Powers <br />Agreement (JPA) with the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). <br />Legislative History: <br />None. <br />Financial Impact: <br />None. <br />Explanation: <br />The City of New Brighton currently is a member of the NJPA health insurance cooperative. <br />NJPA has recently drafted changes to their JPA's with cooperative members in order to satisfy <br />State law. The changes will not affect New Brighton's opportunity to go out to bid for insurance. <br />The new JPA changes terminology in the agreement from a "board of directors" to "board of <br />trustees" amongst other things. There will be no significant impacts for New Brighton but will <br />allow for NJPA to have the new JPA in compliance with their organization by-laws which are <br />required by the State. Attached to this report is the updated JPA. <br />Joe Hatch <br />Management Analyst/HR Specialist <br />
