Summary
Health insurance costs have grown about 9.9% a year, heading toward $6.5 million by 2029. The proposal has employees pay 25% (single) or 35% (family) of premiums, with a 20% discount for completing a wellness screening — and the city warns premiums jump for everyone if wellness participation falls below 80%.

Impact analysis
Saves the city roughly $187,000 in the partial year (about $250,000 annualized) versus the current structure.
Taxpayers citywide, since slowing insurance growth protects the general fund.
Employees who skip the wellness screening would pay noticeably more per month.
