CITY OF COLTON Item #8 AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 2002 TO: HON. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: AL HOLLIMAN, Assistant City Manager TERESA S. DELGADO, Human Resources Manager _t�b SUBJECT: Approve and Adopt Resolution Electing to participate in the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) for Mid - Manager Employees Unit and for the Executive Unit DATE: January 8, 2002 BACKGROUND: On August 7, 2001, the City Council enacted resolutions for the Mid -Manager Unit and the Executive Unit wherein the City agreed to initiate PERS Health Coverage for members of the Mid -Manager Employees Unit and the Executive Unit, which includes Executive and Executive Management positions. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Meetings have been held and members in each unit voted and elected to proceed with the terms of their respective Memoranda of Understanding. The action requested tonight will initiate the formal request to CalPERS to allow participation by these groups. The State agency suggested that a resolution be completed for each employee group to be considered for participation. In that manner, if an employee group wishes to end its participation in the Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) it can proceed on its own. According to PEMHCA, each unit's retirees (annuitants) needed to be included in this action and a determination had to be made on whether there would be equal contribution or unequal contribution. To keep each unit's annuitants' contributions at present levels, the contribution was fixed at $424 (equal to the 2002 PERS Health Net insurance cost) to cover the retiree and one dependant. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: This item does not carry environmental impact. FISCAL IMPACT: Under the terms of negotiations, members of the Mid -Manager Employees Unit will receive a monthly stipend in the amount of $675 and the Executive Unit will receive a monthly stipend in the amount of $700. Each department has budgeted accordingly.
