8. AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AMENDMENT NO. 6 WITH CORVEL ENTERPRISE
COMP, INC (CONTRACT #C-8818) FOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIMS THIRD
PARTY ADMINISTRATION (TPA) AND TO RATIFY EXPENDITURES OF $347,724.27
Presented by: Jim Brown, Director, Human Resources & Risk Management
Ms. Bower read the item by title.
Mr. Brown said staff was requesting authorization for the City Manager to enter into Amendment
No. 6 with CorVel Enterprise Comp, Inc. (Contract #C8818) for workers' compensation claims
third party administration. The amendment extended the contract through September 30,
2020 and increased the total compensation under the agreement to an amount not to exceed
$560,000, for the entire term of the agreement. It also included a request to ratify expenses in
the amount of $347,724.27.
Mr. Brown said the City was self-insured for payment of its workers' compensation claims, but
the Industrial Commission of Arizona (ICA) rules and regulations required the City to use a
third -party administrator (TPA) to administer all workers' compensation claims. The TPA was
responsible for the investigation and determination of compensability for workers' compensation
benefits.
Mr. Brown said CorVel had agreed to continue to provide the services at the same terms and
rates as the existing agreement while the City issued a Request For Proposal (RFP). Extending
the contract allowed the City to continue to receive the 2014 rates during the extension.
Mr. Brown said since April 1, 2014, the City had paid claims administration fees totaling
City Council Meeting Minutes - April 28, 2020 Page 3 of 17
$474,724.27. Council previously authorized a not to exceed amount of $127,000.00. The item
also requested ratification of expenditures of $347,724.27 which was the difference between the
amount paid to date and the amount approved by Council.
Mr. Brown said when the item was previously before Council, there was an error. Only the
administration and Medicare set up fees were included in the total amount. The claims service
fees were not included but were included in the approved budget. If approved, the amendment
also increased the spending authority by an additional $85,275 to a new not to exceed amount
of $560,000.
Councilmember Aldama asked how staff spent $347,724 without Council approval.
Mr. Brown said it was presented to Council in the budget. The correct amount was not included
when the item went to Council.
Councilmember Aldama said staff was aware the agreement expired on March 31 but no RFP
was put into place. He asked why that was allowed to happen.
Mr. Brown said the Risk Manager had been working through several different RFPs but there
was really no good reason. He would be working with the Risk Manager to get the RFP issued
as soon as possible.
Councilmember Aldama was unhappy that no RFP was in place.
Councilmember Clark confirmed that Mr. Brown was indicating staff was unable to handle two
RFPs at the same time.
Mr. Brown said it was not simply the RFPs that staff handled.
Councilmember Clark asked of the approximately $400,000 allocated, how much went for fees
and how much went for claims.
Mr. Brown said it was all fees for the handling of claims. The claim amounts were managed
through the Workers Compensation Trust Fund.
Councilmember Clark asked for an estimate of the number of claims processed by the TPA.
Mr. Brown did not have the specific number, but it was well over 100.
Councilmember Clark said even if there were over 100 claims, that was an average of $40,000
per claim. She requested a report on the number of claims and the fees paid per claim.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if there was a process for tracking contracts because an RFP
had a significant lead time.
Mr. Brown said there was an internal process for monitoring contracts.
Councilmember Aldama said staff left Council with no other option than to approve the item.
The City could not be without a TPA. Staff needed to work closely with CorVel to better
understand who benefited and who suffered from the decisions made by CorVel, in particular,
presumptive cancer for firefighters.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked if Simplicity had a function for tracking contract expiration
dates.
City Council Meeting Minutes -April 28, 2020 Page 4 of 17
Mr. Brown said it did have a function for tracking contracts.
Councilmember Turner asked if CorVel brought the expiration to staffs attention.
Mr. Brown said the Risk Manager brought the issue forward.
Councilmember Turner said CorVel should have known as well. It was a disappointing situation
and he did not want to see it happen again.
A motion was made by Councilmember Joyce Clark, seconded by Councilmember Lauren
Tolmachoff to approve item 8.

development of a new residential home on the lot by giving more flexibility with the location of
side and rear yard setbacks. The only improvement constructed in the easements was a public
waterline. Accordingly, a 10 -foot wide waterline easement would be retained by the City over the
easterly 10 feet of the lot.

Presented by: Lisa Collins, Interim Development Services Director

Ms. Collins said the Pre -annexation Development Agreement (PADA) would facilitate the

acres, with the Orangewood alignment on the north, Cotton Lane on the west, Glendale Avenue

36. RESOLUTION NO. R20-50
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA COUNTY,
ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF AN IN -LIEU FEE
AGREEMENT WITH GLENDALE-303 HOLDINGS, LLC; AND DIRECTING THAT THE CITY
CLERK RECORD ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS.
Presented by: Lisa Collins, Interim Development Services Director
Ms. Bower read the resolution by title.
Ms. Collins said the property was approximately 36 acres, with the Orangewood alignment on
the north, Cotton Lane on the west and Myrtle Avenue on the south. The in -lieu agreement
would allow the owner to develop residential without annexing into the City. It would provide the
City with $694,176 in -lieu fees, which was $2,066 x 336 units. Any development other than
residential would require annexation into the City.
Councilmember Turner said the City would receive the equivalent of the development impact
fees in lieu of annexing into the City.
Ms. Collins said that was correct. It allowed the City to recoup costs for roadway improvements
and fire service.
Councilmember Turner said the property was not being annexed because the owners had
previously reached an agreement with EPCOR for water and sewer service.
Ms. Collins said that was correct.
Councilmember Turner said Council had previously discussed the pros and cons of residential
development in the area. Single-family residential would not be financially responsible for the
City. Council did not have the opportunity to discuss the project and if the City would have
received construction sales tax, residential sales tax and property tax for the multi -family rental
property being proposed. He was concerned that the City was giving up that opportunity.
Councilmember Turner said the City was agreeing not to attempt to annex the property for at
least five years. The owner would have the future benefit of City services without paying for it on
an ongoing basis. He would have preferred that the agreement state the owner would not object
to annexation after five years. He did not feel the residents in the rest of the City were being
protected.
Mayor Weiers opened the public hearing.
Ms. Bower said no comments had been received from the public.
Mayor Weiers closed the public hearing.
