BENEFITS TO RETIRED NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES
WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach is
desirous of extending medical insurance benefits to retired
non-associated employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, upon retirement (whether
service or disability connected) , each non-associated employee
shall be entitled to participate fully, along with their
dependents, in the group medical insurance program maintained by
the CITY at the CITY 's group premium rate. Retired employees
exercising this option shall cause the premiums to be paid by
the CITY out of any available funds due and owing them for
unused sick leave benefits upon retirement, provided, however ,
that whenever any such retired employee does not have any such
available funds with which to cause the premiums to be paid, he
or she shall have the opportunity to provide the CITY with
sufficient funds to pay the premiums . At retirement, the sick
leave hours remaining shall be converted to a dollar figure and
an estimate shall be provided by the CITY to the retired
employee as to the approximate number of months the group
insurance can be paid by such sick leave dollars . This benefit
shall be effective October 1, 1987 .
The CITY shall notify any retired employee whose funds
available for unused sick leave benefits are about to be
exhausted of such fact in writing by certified mail , return
receipt requested, at the retired employee's most recent address
of record with the CITY no later than three ( 3 ) months prior to
the date upon which there will not be sufficient funds to pay
premiums . It shall be the individual retiree 's responsibility
either to insure that there are sufficient sick leave dollars
available to pay premiums or to make premium payments at least
one (1 ) month in advance to continue the group insurance in
effect . If, following exhaustion of sick leave funds, a retired
employee fails to provide the CITY with sufficient additional
-1-
funds to pay premiums, the CITY shall have the right to notify
said retired employee in the manner prescribed above that it
intends to cause his or her coverage to be terminated for
non-payment of premiums, and the further right to terminate such
coverage if such default has not been cured within thirty (30 )
days following receipt of such notice. Any retired employee
electing to obtain such medical insurance coverage after
retirement shall have the further option to terminate such
coverage following the provision of thirty (30 ) days written
notice to the CITY, whereupon any funds due and owing him or her
for unused sick leave benefits that have not been exhausted to
pay these health insurance premiums shall be paid in an lump sum
to the retired employee within thirty (30 ) days following
receipt by the CITY of such notice; provided, however, that once
such retired employee elects to terminate such coverage, he or
she shall be precluded from securing it at a later date at the
group rate.
