employee cost of health insurance.
4) The City will research the possibility of obtaining an enhanced life insurance policy
(at a benefit level of $150,000; $200,000; and $250,000) that would provide
coverage for retirees , which would be paid by the employee, or subsequently, the
retiree, and would not be a cost to the City, nor affect the City's rate for such
coverage.

that the cost of such coverage would not be a cost to the City and that the City's
rates on other disability policies would not be affected.
6) As soon as administratively practical, a fifty dollar ($50) per month adjustment to
offset retiree medical premiums, through the Public Employees' Retirement

be implemented for the 2000-01 fiscal year. The City and Battalion Chiefs agree to
continue to explore an alternate contribution method for retiree medical that will
enable the retirees to receive the City contribution for medical premiums without
reducing current employee Flexible Benefit deferred contributions when the
employee elects no insurance coverage. Any alternative method outlined in
Section 6 shall not result in an added financial or administrative obligation on the
City and shall be consistent with all applicable laws.
7) The City will increase the PERS 1959 Survivor Benefit to Level IV.
