Title
Resolution directing the Department of Employee Relations to submit the necessary application documents for self-insurance status (workers’ compensation benefits) to the State of Wisconsin.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes and directs the Department of Employee Relations to submit the application documents necessary for renewal of the City's self-insurance status (workers' compensation benefits) to the State of Wisconsin no later than May 2009. Renewal of self-insurance status is required every 3 years.
Body
Whereas, For purposes of providing workers' compensation benefits, the City of Milwaukee has chosen to be self-insured, rather than to purchase workers' compensation insurance; and

Whereas, The State of Wisconsin requires employers that have self-insurance status for their workers' compensation programs to apply for this status every 3 years; and

Whereas, Approval of continued self-insurance status is contingent upon timely submission of the necessary documents to the Department of Workforce Development; and

Whereas, Pursuant to s. 340-1 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances, the Department of Employee Relations, Employee Benefits Division, has the authority to administer the City of Milwaukee's workers' compensation program and is responsible for preparing the necessary documents for self-insurance; and

Whereas, The Department of Employee Relations, Employee Benefits Division has prepared the application documents required for renewal of the City's self-insurance status, said documents being attached to and made a part of this resolution; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of Employee Relations is authorized and directed to submit the application documents required for renewal of the City's self-insurance status (workers' compensation benefits) to the State of Wisconsin.
