Retiree Subsidy Medical Plan
An employee who has retired from the City shall be entitled to participate in
the City sponsored medical insurance plans and the City shall contribute toward
monthly premiums for coverage in an amount as specified in accordance with this
Plan, provided:
A. At the time of retirement the employee has a minimum of ten (10)
years of continuous City service or is granted an industrial
disability retirement; and
B. At the time of retirement, the employee is employed by the City; and
C. Following official separation from the City the employee is granted a
retirement allowance by the California Public Employees ' Retirement
System.
The City' s obligation to pay the monthly premium as indicated shall
be modified downward or cease during the lifetime of the retiree upon
the occurrence of any one of the following:
1 . During any period the retired employee is eligible to receive
or receives health insurance coverage at the expense of another
employer, the payment will be suspended. "Another employer" as
used herein means private employer or public employer or the

receive the premium contribution as set forth in this plan, the
City shall have the right to require any retiree to annually
certify that the retiree is not receiving or eligible to
receive any such health insurance benefits from another
employer. If it is later discovered that a misrepresentation
has occurred, the retiree will be responsible for reimbursement
of those amounts inappropriately expended and the retirees '
eligibility to receive further benefits will cease.
2. On the first of the month in which a retiree or dependent
reaches age 65 or on the date the retiree or dependent can
first apply and become eligible, automatically or voluntarily,
for medical coverage under Medicare (whether or not such
application is made) the City's obligation to pay monthly
premiums may be adjusted downward or eliminated. Benefit
coverage at age 65 under the City' s medical plans shall be
governed by applicable plan document.
3. In the event the Federal Government or State Government
mandates an employer-funded health plan or program for
retirees, or mandates that the City make contributions toward a
health plan (either private or public) for retirees, the City' s
contribution rate as set forth in this plan shall first be
applied to the mandatory plan. If there is any excess, that
excess may be applied toward the City medical plan as supplemental
coverage provided the retired employee pays the balance necessary
for such coverage, if any.
6562
4. In the event of the death of any employee, whether retired or
not, the amount of the retiree medical insurance subsidy
benefit which the deceased employee was receiving at the time
of his/her death would be eligible to receive if he/she were
retired at the time of death, shall be paid on behalf of the
spouse or family for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.
EXHIBIT B

the City`s Personnel Rules.

eligibility ceases due to death, divorce or loss of dependent child
status. However, the amount shall not be reduced if such reduction
would cause insufficient funds needed to pay the full premium for the
employee and the remaining dependents. In the event no reduction
occurs and the remaining benefit premium is not sufficient to pay the
premium amount for the employee and the eligible dependents, said
needed excess premium amount shall be paid by the employee.
