The Metropolitan DistrictDistrict Board of Commissioners555 Main StreetHartford, CT 06103Atm: Mr. William DiBella, Chairman
Dear Chairman DiBella and Commissioners:
We are writing this letter concerning the surcharge assessed in the current year for non-member water customers of theMetropolitan District, and the proposed surcharge for 2014.
We acknowledge the obligation of the non-member customers to pay their fair share of the infrastructure costs related towater delivery, and we sincerely appreciate the District’s efforts to reduce the surcharge for the year 2014. However, weremain concerned with the manner in which these charges were determined, and the adequacy of the reduction goingforward.
e believe that safeguards are needed to ensure the fairness of the assessment process for non-member customers, and weare willing to work with you to develop an equitable long-term solution for all involved. Toward that end, we plan toreview prior legislation regarding the Metropolitan District, with the goals of strengthening the transparency of theassessment process, increasing accountability to all affected customers, acquiring representation for non-member towns,and introducing a system of review and oversight to the process.
We appreciate your attention to our concerns, and look forward to your continued co-operation.
Sincerely,

Dear Representative Demicco:
On behalf of the Town of Farmington and as a follow-up to our past discussions, Iam asking that you continue to advocate for legislation to increase transparencyand oversight for the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC). In particular, I amrequesting that you support legislation that will:
• Create regulatory oversight of the MDC that would generate greatertransparency around their budgets and policy initiatives, particularly thosesurrounding its rate setting facility,
• Allow non-member towns to have representation on the MDC Board,• And, eliminate the non-member town user General Surcharge and replacethe funds in a revenue neutral manner with a surcharge that is assessedequally to all water users from both member and non-member towns.
Thank you in advance for your support of these issues.

To Review and Approve the Attached Town of Farmlngton Self-InsuranceFund.
‘ .i Ag nic$2014 11414 0
The Town of Farmington and The Farmington Public SchoolsEmployee Health Self-Insurance FundReserve Policy
I. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide a standard for the appropriate level of reservesthat should be maintained in the employee health self insurance fund and for definingthe processes: (a) to maintain their adequacy, and (b) cover plan expenses in the eventof a reserve inadequacy.
IL Policy Statement
It is the intention of both the Town Council and Board of Education of Farmington toadequately fund the liabilities of their respective health insurance pians and providesufficient financial resources to fund any unexpected increase in claims over thebudgeted claim level. Accordingly, the Town and Board. of Education will fund anIncurred But Not Reported (IBNR) reserve and an Excess Claim Reserve.
IBNR Reserve
The IBNR reserve shall be established as of June 30 of each fiscal year at a level deemedappropriate by the Town Council and Board of Education, after consultations withTown and School insurance consultants and insurance vendors and after testing andverification by the Town’s independent auditors. The IBNR reserve shall be fullyfunded. Any insufficiency in the IBNR reserve will be funded from the Excess ClaimReserve,
Should the IBNR reserve fall below the established level and the excess claim reservehave insufficient resources to restore the IBNR reserve to its established level, then theTown and Board will take steps to restore the IBNR reserve to its fully funded status bybudgeting for the shortfall in the next budget cycle. This will be done on a proportionalbasis, the proportion to he determined based on each entity’s expected claims for thenext fiscal year. However, no entity shall contribute an amount greater than 80% of theamount required to be contributed.
Excess Claim Reserve
In addition to the IBNR reserve, the Town and Schools will establish an Excess ClaimReserve to fund claims in excess of the expected claim level. The desired reserve levelshall be in a range between 7% 11% of annual expected claims.
1• I
I ‘444 (Employee Health Self4nsurance Fund) Page 1 of 3
Claim Reserve Maximums
Considering that a pian year following a poor claim year in which all or most of theclaim reserve was expended would result in a substantial health care budget increase,the Town and Schools recognize that an Excess Claim Reserve of between 7% - 11%would be desirable and thus there is no formal maximum to the Excess Claim Reserve.Moreover, money cannot be withdrawn from the Excess Claim Reserve for self-insurance purposes until the combined IBNR and Excess Claims reserves exceedtwenty-five percent (25%) of annual expected claims.
Should the combined reserves exceed 25% then each entity will be credited with aproportional amount of the excess above 25% to put towards the funding of theirsubsequent year’s expected claims. The proportion to be determined will be basedupon the proportion that each entity contributed to the excess reserve in the preceding24-month plan period. However no entity will receive less than an amount equal to20% of the amount to be distributed.
III. Budget Requests
During the annual budget preparation process the Town Manager and theSuperintendent of Schools will include in their respective budget requests sufficientbudget amounts to cover expected claims for the upcoming year plus additional fundsto fully fund the estimated IBNR level and such additional amounts as may benecessary to fully fund the excess claim reserve pursuant to this agreement. It isrecognized that achieving these targets in one year would be difficult. Therefore, theTown Council and Board of Education would meet the IBNR standard and at least the7% excess claim reserve standard within three years after adoption of this policy.
IV. Procedure for Covering Claims When Reserves Are Not Sufficient
Shortfall
If at any time during the Plan Year either the Town Manager or the Superintendent orboth determine that there are insufficient revenues and accumulated reserves to meetthe immediate claim expense obligations of their respective plans they will immediatelyreport such findings to their respective policy bodies.
The Town shall make available sufficient cash to either the Town self insurance plan orSchools’ self insurance plan to permit each employer to meet its obligations to fund the
S:\KATHY.MGR-POL\.Po1icicsSe1f locumnee Ducember 3. 2011 Fina1DuSMi4-Dei41(EmpiQ,ee Health Self-Insurance Fund) Pase 2 of 3
self insured cash account for claims incurred on behalf of its employees for the balanceof that fiscal year.
If at any time during the Plan Year, either Town staff or the school staff or bothdetermine that it is likely that there will be insufficient revenues and accumulatedreserves to meet claim expenses, they will report such to their respective policy bodiesat their next regular meeting. The report shall include the following information:
1. Provide a projection of the fiscal year end shortfall in expected paidclaims;
2. Utilization information indicating current and/or projected paid claims;3. Identify any self-insurance revenue variances from what was originally
budgeted.
Following the Board of Education’s review of the school projection, the information willbe transmitted to the Town Council. The Town Council after reviewing the self-insurance financial report(s) provided by the Town and/or Board of Education, willdetermine the amount of, if any, additional appropriation to be made to the Town orBoard or both to meet claims payments during the remainder of the Plan Year. Inmaking their determination, the Town Council will consider all of the informationprovided by the Town Manager and Board of Education.
Any supplemental appropriation approved by the Town Council will be made in threeequal payments directly to the Employee Health Self-Insurance Fund over the balanceof the Plan Year. If at anytime after an additional appropriation is made, it isdetermined that the full appropriation will not be needed, then the amount not neededwill not be paid to the Fund or if already paid, the amount will be withdrawn from theFund and returned to the General Fund.
This policy shall be reviewed on a biennial basis during the month of January in eacheven numbered year or at any time in between, if requested by either the Town Councilor Farmington Board of Education.
