Transfer / Loan - Flexible Spending AccountF....._.. .i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: November 5, 1991 AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTION: Transfer/Loan - Flexible Spending Account Consent PREPARED BY: AGENDITC.M '1Y►11 # 5 P Jeff May, Finance Director ATTACHMENTS: Copy of 1/15/91 Green Sheet,APP D_ Y Memo to Wm Michaels Ltd, Copy of P.O. e211 U � Attached you will find documentation that closes out the 10/1/90 through 9/30/91 Flex Plan year. If you recall, back in January of this year, we transferred the balance of the plan year's deposits to the Flexible Spending Account to cover potential overages in that account. Due to employee turnover, we did not need all of that money in that account, so the unused portion will now be returned to the General Fund. Entering the 10/1/91 through 9/30/92 Flex Plan year, we are facing the same federal law that caused us to make the transfer earlier this year. This law requires that the employer set aside a sufficient amount of dollars to cover all claimed expenses throughout the plan year, even though the amounts may not have been withheld from an employee at the time that the claims are made. Because of the timing of this request, we are requesting that an amount equal to 24 of the 26 pay periods for the new plan year be "borrowed" to the Flexible Spending Account to cover any possible overages that could occur throughout the plan year. The dollar amount of this "loan" would be $6,601.92. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a motion to transfer $6,601.92 from the General Fund to the Flexible Spending Account on a temporary basis, to be paid back through employee withholdings as the withholdings occur. COUNCIL ACTION: CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JANUARY 15, 1991 AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTION: TRANSFER -FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT NEW BUSINESS PREPARED BY: AGENDA STEPHAN JILK, CITY ADMINISTRATOR ITE # 6B ATTACHMENTS: _ APP VED BY• MEMO FROM JEFF MAY, FINANCE DEPT. t�r� We are into our second year for our flexible spending account program for our employees. This program allows pre-tax withholding of monies from employee wages for medical and child care expenses. This program saves employees, who take part, many state and federal tax dollars by allowing them to have to claim not just a portion of these expenses on tax returns but all of them by getting the money before it is taxed. This year,the new federal law requires that the employer set aside a sufficient amount of dollars to cover all claimed expenses through the plan year. The attached memo from Jeff May explains the results of that ruling. I recommend we transfer the amount necessary to cover potential claims as indicated in Jeff's memo. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a motion to transfer $9582.90 from General Fund to the Flexible Spending Account on a temporary basis to be paid back through employee withholdings.

Box 510, Rosemount, Minnesota 55068-0510 COUNCILMEMBERS Sheila Klassen John Oxborough Harry Willcox Wippermann October 28, 1991 DennisADMINISTRATOR ADMINISTRATOR Stephan Jilk Tammi Hawbaker Jeff May SUBJECT: Closing out 10-1-90 thru 9-30-91 Plan Year As per our telephone conversation of today, I am writing you to request a check being drawn to the City of Rosemount, from the Flex Account, to close out the 1991 plan year. There was a deposit put into the Flex Account earlier this year that covered the whole year's worth of deposits. Due to employee turnover, we did not need that whole amount and would like to reimburse our General Account at this time. The amount of the check I am requesting will be $1,436.07. The following will show how I came up with that number: Balance after all 1991 plan year check requests $1,986.23 Deposit made 10/17 for 1992 plan year(to be left) { 275.08) Deposit made 10/29 for 1992 plan year(to be left) ( 275.08) Balance to be drawn out of Flex Account $1,436.07 By doing this, we will leave a balance of $550.16 in the Flex Account that will cover 1992 plan year transactions to this point in time. Sometime in the future, we will be making a large deposit to cover the 1992 plan year deposits as we did for the 1991 plan year. If you have any questions, please free to contact me.
