CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE AGREEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES WITH PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY OF CARSON SELF-INSURED DENTAL PLAN AGREEMENT (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City entered into an "Agreement for Administrative Services Agreement" with Principal Life Insurance Company effective November 1, 2017 ("Agreement") (Exhibit 1), for processing of non-discretionary claims and provision of administrative services related to the dental insurance plan for City employees. The Agreement provided for an initial one-year term with options for the City to extend the term of the Agreement for up to three successive one-year terms thereafter.

Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement (Exhibit 3), which was approved by City Council on August 4, 2020, exercised the first of the City's three one-year options, thereby extending the term expiration date of the Agreement from November 1, 2020 to November 1, 2021, with two one-year options remaining thereafter.
Staff now requests City Council approval of Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (Exhibit 4) to exercise the first of the City's two remaining one-year options to extend the term of the Agreement, thereby extending the term expiration date from November 1, 2021 until November 1, 2022, with one one-year option to extend remaining thereafter. The existing fee rates under the Agreement would remain in effect for the extension period.
