The retiree shall pay the full premium to participate in city sponsored medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare for themselves or qualified dependents without any city subsidy. Retirees or qualified dependents, upon turning age 65, who choose not to participate in city sponsored medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare permanently lose eligibility for this insurance. Health Insurance Contracts The contracts for Blue Shield and Kaiser Permanente to provide health insurance coverage should be before the City Council in March 2004. Other Changes to the Non-Represented Resolution The General Leave accrual "caps" for Non-Represented employees will be increasing from a maximum six hundred hours to a maximum of six hundred and forty hour of accrued General Leave. Additionally, Non-Represented employees will be allowed to cash-out a maximum total of one hundred and twenty hours of General Leave twice in a fiscal year instead of the current once a year.

The retiree shall pay the full premium to participate in City sponsored medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare for themselves or qualified dependents without any City subsidy.

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. 2004 NA Resolution Final.doc 19 1/29/2004 11:01 AM SECTION VII — RULES GOVERNING LAYOFF, REDUCTION IN LIEU OF LAYOFF AND RE-EMPLOYMENT The following procedures shall not apply to Department Heads and the Assistant City Administrator.

A displaced employee shall have bumping rights. c. An employee who receives a layoff notice must exercise bumping rights within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notice as specified in Part 1.

Usage — Employees may use accrued sick leave for the same purposes for which it was used prior to December 25, 1999. Sick leave shall not be used to extend absences due to work related (industrial) injuries or illnesses, this provision shall be added to Personnel Rule 18.10. 4. Family Sick Leave — The city will provide family and medical care leave for eligible employees that meet all requirements of State and Federal law. Rights and obligations are set forth in the Department of Labor Regulations 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 16 1/29/2004 11:01 AM implementing the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the regulations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Commission implementing the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). 5. Pay Off at Termination a. Non Associated employees with continuous service with the city since November 20, 1978 shall be entitled to the following sick leave payoff plan: At involuntary termination by reason of disability, or by death, or by retirement, employees shall be compensated at their then current rate of pay for seventy-five percent (75%) of all unused sick leave accumulated as of July 1, 1972, plus fifty percent (50%) of unused sick leave accumulated subsequent to July 1, 1972, up to a maximum of seven hundred and twenty hours (720) of unused, accumulated sick leave, except as provided in paragraph V.C.5.d below. Upon termination for any other reason, employees shall be compensated at their then current rate of pay for fifty percent (50%) of all unused accumulated sick leave, up to a maximum of 720 hours of such accumulated sick leave. b. Non-Associated employees hired after November 20, 1978 shall be entitled to the following sick leave payoff plan: Upon termination, all employees shall be paid, at their then current salary rate, for twenty-five percent (25%) of unused, earned sick leave to 480 hours accrued, and for thirty-five percent (35%) of all unused, earned sick leave in excess of 480 hours, but not to exceed 720 hours, except as provided in paragraph V.C.2.c below. c. Except as provided in paragraph V.C.5.d below, no Non-Associated employee shall be paid at termination for more than 720 hours of unused, accumulated sick lave. However, employees may utilize accumulated sick leave on the basis of "last in, first out," meaning that sick leave accumulated in excess of the maximum for payoff may be utilized first for sick leave, as defined in Personnel Rule 18-8. d. Non-Associated employees who had unused, accumulated sick leave in excess of 720 hours as of July 5, 1980, shall be compensated for such excess sick leave remaining on termination under the formulas described in paragraphs V.C.5.a and b above. In no event shall any employee be compensated upon termination for any accumulated sick leave in excess of the "cap" established by this paragraph (i.e., 720 hours plus the amount over 720 hours existing on July 5, 1980). Employees may continue to utilize sick leave accrued after that date in excess of such "cap" on a "last in, first out" basis. To the extent that any such "capped" amount of excess sick leave over 720 hours is utilized, the maximum compensable amount shall be correspondingly reduced. (Example: Employee had 1,000 hours accumulated. Six months after July 5, 1980, employee had accumulated 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 17 1/29/2004 11:01 AM another 48 hours. Employee is then sick for 120 hours. Employee's maximum sick leave "cap" for compensation at termination is now reduced by 72 hours to 928.) D. Bereavement Leave Employees shall be entitled to bereavement leave not to exceed twenty-four (24) hours in each instance of death in the immediate family. Immediate family is defined as father, mother, sister, brother, spouse, children, grandfather, grandmother, stepfather, stepmother, step grandfather, step grandmother, grandchildren, stepsisters, stepbrothers, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, stepchildren, or wards of which the employee is the legal guardian. SECTION VI — 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 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 retiree's 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 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 18 1/29/2004 11:01 AM coverage at age 65 under the city's medical plans shall be governed by applicable plan document. 3. 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. D. Schedule of Benefits 1. Minimum Eligibility for Benefits With the exception of an industrial disability retirement, eligibility for benefits begin after an employee has completed ten (10) years of continuous service with the City of Huntington Beach. Said service must be continuous unless prior service is reinstated at the time of his/her rehire in accordance with the city's Personnel Rules. 2. Disability Retirees Industrial disability retirees with less than ten (10) years of service shall receive a maximum monthly payment toward the premium for health insurance of $121. Payments shall be in accordance with the stipulations and conditions, which exist for all retirees. Payment shall not exceed dollar amount, which is equal to the full cost of premium for employee only. 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 19 1/29/2004 11:01 AM 3. Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments All retirees, including those retired as a result of disability whose number of years of service prior to retirement exceeds ten (10) years, shall be entitled to maximum monthly payment of premiums by the city for each year of completed city service as follows: Maximum Monthly Payment for Retirements After: Years of Service Subsidy 10 $121 11 136 12 151 13 166 14 181 15 196 16 211 17 226 18 241 19 256 20 271 21 286 22 300 23 315 24 330 25 344 Note: The above payment amounts may be reduced each month as dependent 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. 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 20 1/29/2004 11:01 AM SECTION VII — RULES GOVERNING LAYOFF, REDUCTION IN LIEU OF LAYOFF AND RE-EMPLOYMENT The following procedures shall not apply to Department Heads and the Assistant City Administrator.

Whenever an employee is to be separated from the competitive service because the tasks assigned are to be eliminated or substantially changed due to management-initiated changes, including but not limited to automation or other technological changes, it is the policy of the city that steps be taken by the Human Resources Division on an interdepartmental basis to assist such employee in locating, preparing to qualify for, and being placed in other positions in the competitive service. This shall not be construed as a restriction on the city government in effecting economies or in making organizational or other changes to increase efficiency. c. A department shall reduce staff by identifying which positions within the department are to be eliminated. d. The employee who has the least city-wide service credit in the class within the department shall have city-wide transfer rights in the class pursuant to Part 1., Section 3., Transfer or Reduction to Vacancies in Lieu of Layoffs, or within the occupational series pursuant to Part 2, Bumping Rights. e.

When a position in a class and/or occupational series is eliminated, any employee in the class who is on authorized leave of absence or is holding a temporary acting position in another class shall be included for determining order of service credit and be subject to these layoff procedures as if the employee was in his or her permanent position. 5. Notification of Employees: a.

The notice shall also include the employee's right to bump the person in a lower class with the least service credit within the occupational series provided the employee possesses the necessary qualifications to successfully perform the duties in the lower class and the employee has more service credit than the incumbent in the lower class. d. The written layoff notice given to an employee shall include notice that he or she has seven (7) calendar days from the date of personal service, or date of delivery of mail if certified, to notify the Human Resources Manager in writing if the employee intends to exercise the employee's bumping rights, if any, pursuant to Part 2., Bumping Rights. e.

A displaced employee shall have bumping rights. c. An employee who receives a layoff notice must exercise bumping rights within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the notice as specified in Part 1. Failure to respond within the time limit shall result in a reputable presumption that the employee does not intend to exercise any right of reduction or bumping to a lower class. The employee must carry the burden of proof to show that the employee's failure to respond within the time limits was reasonable. If the employee establishes that failure to respond within the time limit was reasonable, to the Human Resources Manager's satisfaction, the employee shall be permitted to exercise bumping rights but shall not be reinstated to a paid position until the employee to be bumped has vacated the position. If the employee disagrees with the Human Resources Manager's decision, the employee may appeal pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3 and 4 below. 2.

The employee's appeal shall be in writing and shall include supporting facts or documents supporting the appeal. 2004 NA Resolution Draft.doc 24 1/29/2004 11:01 AM 4.
