and retaining employees; and

consultant relationship for the city; and

health insurance benefits in 2020; and

brokers seeking highly professional and proactive employee benefit consulting
services related to the City’s selection and management of employee benefit
programs; and
WHEREAS,

modeling, compliance knowledge and assistance, customer service, and wellness.
