Motion is carried. Thank you. Let's have 24. Please report from Human Resources Recommendation to execute contract amendments for health, vision, prescription dental, life and disability insurance to maintain current benefit levels and remain in compliance with state and federal laws and all plans city wide. Thank you, Mr. Miller. Could you give us a brief update on what this is? Sure. Every year we go through our health insurance and we work collaboratively with our employer organizations, they sit on an advisory committee. Our health or human resources department did an amazing job in keeping costs low. This is about a three and a half percent increase. It's important to compare that to annual averages in the industry, which is 7.7%. So there's a number of changes here, if you'd like specifically the detail, we can get into those with any questions, but we're recommending approval and any public comment on this item. There's no public comment. Thank you. Members, please cast your vote.
