Background:
At the last LEOFF board it was suggested we check into dental costs for LEOFF members.
Findings:
In a five year period the Police LEOFF Is incurred $34,025.86 in expenses. In the same five year period the Fire LEOFF Is incurred $76,821.87. The total expenses incurred were $110,847.73. If we purchased Dental insurance through AWC the total 5 year expense would be $219,197. If we purchase Dental insurance through AARP the total 5 year expense would be $242,568. It would be significantly more to buy Dental insurance for the LEOFF I members.
