the premiums. At retirement, the sick leave hours remaining shall be converted to a
dollar figure, as provided in Article XII.A.3a., and an estimate shall be provided by

leave benefits are about to be exhausted of such fact in writing by certified mail,

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 a lump sum to the retired employee within thirty (30) days

Please read the following information so you will know from whom or what group of providers healthcare maybe obtained.
A NEW APPROACH TO DENTAL CARE
In an age of rising health care costs, PMI/DeltaCare offers an alternative way to provide for you and your family's dental
care needs, economically and conveniently through the PMI/DeltaCare program. PMI/DeltaCare was founded on the principle
of delivering quality dental care and preventing dental problems before they start.
PMI/DeltaCare has contracted with a network of private, dental offices. A panel listing of these offices is enclosed. As an
enrollee in the PMI/DeltaCare program you select one office from any of.these dental offices for, you and your family's needs.
This network of dental.off ices is composed.of established dental practices. It has been found that most -people feel more secure
if the same dental office is providing for their.family's treatment.
M ADVANTAGES
NO CLAIM FORMS
The dental location you choose provides all primary
dental services. There are no claim forms to complete nor
percentages for you to pay.

VISION SERVICE PLAN
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
VISION CARE PLAN
The City of Huntington Beach provides a vision care program in your benefits package. The
plan is administered by Vision.Service Plan (VSP), the nation's oldest and largest provider of
vision care benefits. VSP is a preferred •provider,organization with over.22,000 member eye
doctors located in all 50 states. More than 4,200 of these providers are in California.
WHAT IS COVERED?
When the following benefits are provided by a VSP member doctor, they are covered in full
except for a $10 deductible.
• Vision Examination - The vision :plan will cover a complete eye' examination every 12
months. The exam includes an analysis of the patient's visual functions, including
prescription of corrective lenses when indicated.
• Spectacle Lenses - If the eye examination determines the need for corrective lenses, the
VSP doctor will order the proper lenses from an approved optical laboratory. New
lenses are covered every 12 months. The plan covers in full any lenses necessary for the
patient's visual welfare. Patients choosing cosmetic items such as blended,.coated, and
oversized lenses pay a nominal. surcharge to the VSP doctor. Tinted and photochromic
lenses are covered under this plan.
• Frames - VSP covers a new frame every 12 months. Patients .can choose from a wide
selection of fully covered frames.. More expensiveframe styles are also available under
the plan. Patients choosing designer -type frames would pay a surcharge based on the
wholesale cost of the frame.
• Contact Lenses - When patients elect contact lenses for cosmetic reasons in lieu of
glasses, VSP will make a maximum allowance of $105 towards the purchase of materials
and the contact lens fitting. Contact lenses would be covered in place of lens and frame
benefits for that eligibility period.. The exam will be paid in full less,the $10 deductible.
If the doctor determines that contact lenses are medically necessary and secures prior
approval from VSP, they are covered in full, less deductible.
HOW DO I USE THE VISION PLAN?
Vision Plan brochures with complete plan information will be available from your Benefits
Administrator. Attached to the brochure is a postcard which you fill out and send to VSP before
seeing an eye doctor. After verifying eligibility, VSP will send you a pre -certified "benefit
form" and a list of member doctors in your area. Once you receive the form, you can make an
appointment with a doctor. You simply present the benefit form to the member doctor on your
first visit. The doctor will bill VSP directly for all covered services.
ARE SERVICES FROM NON-MEMBER DOCTORS COVERED?
Yes. While 90% of VSP's patients select one of our member doctors, you can receive services
from any eye doctor or optician of your choice. Claims from non-member providers are
reimbursed according to the following schedule of allowances:
Eye examination

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

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 employer of a spouse. As a condition of being eligible to
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.
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

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.
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.

employee.

HUNTINGTON BEACH
TO: RAY SILVER, Acting City Administrator
FROM: DAN T. VILLELLA, Acting Deputy City Administrator
SUBJECT: FIS 98-13, Approval of MOU with MEA c
DATE: December 3, 1997
As required by Resolution 4832, a Fiscal Impact Statement has been prepared for the
subject proposed action.
If the City Council approves this request, the General Fund expenses for 1997/98 will
increase by an estimated $433,430 and 1998/99 expenses will increase by an estimated
$1,014,000 As detailed in the attached report, revised 1997/98 and 1998/99 estimated
General Fund revenues will more than offset the increased costs in the two year budget.
If MOU's and salary/benefit changes equal to the recommended action were granted to
all City employees through subsequent MOU's with other employee organizations, the
total increased cost to the City in 1997/98 is an estimated $1,187,637 and in 1998/99 an
estimated $2.8 million. The estimated increased revenues would cover the increased
costs in 1997/98 but would be $787,941 less than the increased costs for 1998/99.
Expense reductions of $787,941 would therefore be required to be implemented in
1998/99 in order to keep the 1998/99 budget balanced.
As you know, we have begun work to identify potential expense reductions in the event
subsequent MOU's are approved with other groups with terms similar to this proposed
action.

TO: RAY SILVER, Acting City Administrator
FROM: ROBERT J. FRANZ, Deputy.City Administrator
SUBJECT: REVISED REVENUE PROJECTIONS -- TWO YEAR BUDGET
DATE: November 21, 1997
Revenues in the final quarter of fiscal year 1996/97 were higher than projected. Total
General Fund revenues (unaudited) for fiscal year 1996/97 were 2.74% higher than
projected, (see attachments for details).
Based on these upward revisions to last year's revenues, we have reviewed .the .General
Fund revenue estimates for the two year budget. The result (detailed in the.attachments)
is a projected additional..revenue .of.,$1,500,000 (1.5%) .in '1.1997/98 ,and an.,additional
$1,990,000 (1.9%) in 1998/99. %Following are, -some of, the significant changes to the two
year Budget revenue estimates based on the above described review:
Sales Tax -- The unaudited total for 1996/97 was $18.28 million compared to budget
projections in the two year budget of $18.3 million for 1997/98 and $19.0 million for
1998/99. Increasing our estimates for each year by $500,000 results in year to year
projected percentage increases of 2.3% in 1997/98 and 3.7% in 1998/99. These
percentages seem reasonable even with the unknown factors related to the
Huntington Beach Mall.
Utility Tax -- Our prior estimates for the telephone and cable TV portions of this revenue
can be increased by $175,000 in 1997/98 and $250,000 in 1998/99. Telephone charges
to customers continue to grow even though deregulation has brought more competition.
Cable TV charges to customers have also grown (5.8% in 1995/96 and 7.3% in 1996/97)
whereas our prior projections had been conservative based on the unknown impact of
new competition from satellite TV services. Similarly, cable franchise fee revenue
estimates have been increased by $100,000 for 1997/98 and $130,000 for 1998/99.
Fines and Forfeitures -- Parking fines revenue was up significantly in 1996/97, a portion
of which may be due to cash flow timing as opposed to actual year to year changes.
$100,000 additional revenue is projected for 1997/98. In 1998/99 an additional $400,000
is projected, of which $300,000 is due to the State Legislature agreeing to return traffic
citation revenue to cities (this revenue was taken by the State in 1991/92).
REVUSED REVENUE PROJECTIONS - TWO YEAR BUDGET
Parking Revenue -- Last year's revenue was about $300,000 higher than our projections
for beach related lots and meters. While some of this was related to hot weather
continuing through September, part was due to our incorrect assumption that the Pier
Plaza construction would result in a decline in parking revenue during the summer
months of 1997. Apparently, the closed parking lots north and south of .the pier did not
result in fewer cars parking but, instead, resulted in higher revenue in other lots or from
metered parking. Based on this experience, we have increased our .estimates for
1997/98 by $275.000 and $320,000 for 1998/99.
Conclusion -- Although we normally wait until the completion of the first quarter of the
fiscal year before revising any revenue projections, the clear trend from the final quarter
of 1996/97 allows for this "advance" update of revenues. We hope that the projections
are conservative enough to withstand potential adverse trends in some categories. We
believe they can be relied upon for budget decisions.
