Sufficient funds have been included in the City's Fiscal Year 2005-
2006 budget to cover the cost associated with funding City providcd
health and welfare benefits.
DESCRIPTION:
The City cllJTenUy contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) for the
provision of health bcncfits as do a number of other public agencies. CalPERS allows each participating
agency to designate the amount to be contributed by the employer. The City is required by CalPERS to
contribute the same premium amount for current (active) employees as it does for retired employees.
Presently, the City contributes $922.19 per month per employee/retire for medical insurance. Premium
amounts that exceed the City's maximum contribution are paid directly by the employee/retiree.
During the Fiscal Year 2005-2006 health and welfare benefit discussions City cmployees agreed to the
City Council's proposal to increase the City's current health contribution of $922.19 to $967.29 which, as
agreed is a SO/50 split of the increase to the Kaiser Family premiums starting with the 2006 calendar year.
The SO/50 cost split agreement continues for three fiscal years (througb Fiscal Year 2007-2008).
It is necessary for the City to amend the City's Benefit Plan establishing the maximum medical insurance
contribution at $967.29 effective January 1, 2006. Premium adjustments in future years will require thc
adoption of resolutions based on the SO/50 City/Employee split formula and yet to be determined monthly
premIUms.
The proposed increase is effective with the January I, 2006 premium statements from CaIPERS.
Sufficient funds have been establishcd by the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2005-2006 Budget to cover City
paid health and welfare benefits.
Staffreeommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.
