DATE: December 20, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Linda Smith, City Manager
SU ELECT : Resolution Amending the City's Benefit Plan
Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider proposed changes to the City's current Personnel System. The
proposed adjustments are based on the need to revise the City's Benefit Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Amending the Benefit Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The proposed changes to the Personnel System, if approved by the City Council, will not require a
budget adjustment.
DESCRIPTION:
The City currently contracts with the California Public Employees' Retirement System (Ca1PERS)
for the provision of health benefits as do other public agencies.
During the 2015 and 2019 Employee Process, the City and employees agreed to health
contribution adjustments for certain eligible retirees who were hired before January 1, 2016. The
adjustment is based on the annual 50/50 split of the increase to the Kaiser Family premiums not
to exceed $100.00 starting with the 2021 calendar year through Fiscal Year 2023. Attachment 1 is
a proposed amendment to the Benefit Plan establishing the City's maximum medical contribution
of $2,030 per month effective January 1, 2023 (an increase of $74.00 per month from 2022).
Sufficient funds have been included in the FY 2022-23 budget to cover City -paid health benefits.
