Form #: B-52 <br /> 7/18/91 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Human Resources DATE: February 18, 2014 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Sharon Toriano PHONE: 961-8361 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Approval authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawaii Department of Human <br /> Resources Development to provide workers' compensation administration services. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Department of Human Resources Workers' Compensation Division would like to renew its agreement <br /> with the State of Hawaii Department of Human Resources Development to provide workers' compensation <br /> administration services. The service provided by the State has been a cost effective solution in reducing the <br /> number of open claims for the County. Lower case loads per adjuster allow for more thorough and <br /> aggressive claims management, speedier resolution, and therefore lower claim cost. Complexity and <br /> severity of injury are considerations to maintaining a manageable case load per adjuster. We would like to <br /> continue to have the State of Hawaii Department of Human Resources Development provide workers' <br /> compensation administration services for the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Police <br /> Department. <br /> ** Also request to waive Finance Committee <br /> f o, <br /> SIGNED: ` � `�, DATE: vii t-//y <br /> ,Department Head / 1 <br />
