 LLC for medical and prescription drug coverage for the Medicare eligible retiree health
 plan at a set cost per member per month described in the attached exhibit as
 Alternative Medical Plan 5 for the plan year starting January 1, 2026.

retirees. The only difference will be an increase in the total out of pocket for the entire year,
which would increase $200 for the year.

Thompson that it is better than gap coverage. She added the pharmacy costs are also covered.

Councilmember Taylor moved to approve the Resolution. With members present recorded
thereon as voting unanimously in the affirmative, Chairperson Jenkins declared Resolution No.
25-112 approved.

Mishoe added that the bid specs included the vehicle and all of the equipment necessary to outfit
it. In the past, they have done that separately. The vehicles will be ready to be used as soon as
they arrive.

Councilmember Jenkins asked if the increase in price was because all of the items needed were
put into one bid or because of a general price increase. Mishoe replied that it was a combination
of both.

Councilmember Taylor moved to approve the Resolution. With members present recorded
thereon as voting unanimously in the affirmative, Chairperson Jenkins declared Resolution No.
25-113 approved.
