What it does

City employees may see changes to benefits planning. Deloitte will study how the city's health insurance, pensions, and retirement plans work and suggest improvements or changes over the next three to five years.

The bigger picture

City budgets for long-term costs of employee health and pensions. Deloitte's report will help the city understand and plan for future spending on worker benefits, which is often a big part of the budget.

What to watch

Recommendations may lead to benefit cuts or higher worker costs. Consulting firms often suggest ways to reduce a city's benefit spending, which could mean lower pay-outs, higher premiums, or stricter eligibility for city employees.
