2004, and all future retirees who meet the criteria to participate in City-sponsored
medical insurance, with or without the Retiree Medical Subsidy Plan, may participate
in City-sponsored medical insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare, after a
contract is in place between the City and a health insurance provider.
A retiree or qualified dependent must choose to participate in City-sponsored medical
insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare beginning the first of the month in
which the retiree or qualified dependent turns age sixty-five (65).
The retiree shall pay the full premium to participate in City-sponsored medical
insurance plans that are supplemental to Medicare for themselves or qualified

at the time of death, shall be paid on behalf of the spouse or family for a period not

VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION
Guidelines
1. Purpose
The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge
employees who have been approved leave time to either return to work, long-term
disability, or medical retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation,
general leave or compensatory time may donate such leave to another permanent
employee when a catastrophic illness or injury befalls that employee or because
the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill family member. The leave-
sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all departments and is
intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is intended to
change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general, or
sick leave.
2. Definitions
Catastrophic Illness or Injury — A Serious debilitating illness or injury, which
incapacitates the employee or an employee's family member.
Family Member — For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member
is that defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic
partner).
3. Eligible Leave
Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The
minimum donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is
forty (40) hours.
4. Eligibility
Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such
hours to eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An
eligible recipient is an employee who:
• Accrues vacation or general leave;
• Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers'Compensation payments; and
• Requests donated leave.
27
Exhibit A to Non-Associated Resolution No.2025-41 263
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
5. Transfer of Leave
The maximum donation credited to a recipient's-leave account shall be the amount
necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the
employee's period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary,
confidential and irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount
based on the hourly wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted
into accrued hours based on the recipient's hourly wage.
An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and
submit it to the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will
forward the form to Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working
with the department, will send out the request for leave donations.
Employees wanting to make donations will submit a Leave Donation Form to the
Finance Department (payroll).
All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order
received for each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order
to insure even use of time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not
needed will be returned to the donor.
6. Other
Please contact the Human Resources Offices with questions regarding employee
participation in this program.

An employee who has retired from the City shall be entitled to participate in 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. The employee has a minimum of ten (10) years of continuous full-time 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. On the first of the month in which a retiree or dependent reaches age sixty-five
(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 sixty-five (65) under
the City's medical plans shall be governed by applicable plan document.
2. 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 their death or would be eligible to receive if they 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 full-time
service with the City of Huntington Beach. Said service must be continuous
unless prior service is reinstated at the time of their rehire in accordance with
24
Exhibit Ato Non-Associated Resolution No.29222025-9Sxx 705
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
the City's Personnel Rules. Employees hired on or after December 1, 2009,
shall not be eligible for this benefit.
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 one
hundred twenty-one dollars ($121). Payments shall be in accordance with the
stipulations and conditions, which exist for all retirees. Payments shall not
exceed dollar amount, which is equal to the full cost of premium for employee
only.
3. Marital Status — Married retirees eligible for benefits under the Retiree Medical
Subsidy Plan may each receive the benefit earned pursuant to Section 4 —
Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments, whether enrolled individually as the plan
enrollee or whether enrolled as a dependent on any City-sponsored medical
plan.
a. In the case where a retiree is married to a City employee (active or retired)
who is not an unrepresented/non-associated employee or retiree, this
provision shall remain applicable.
b—This provision shall apply to State of California registered domestic partners
the same as married spouses.
4. Maximum Monthly Subsidy Payments
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.
All retirees, including those retired as a result of disability whose number of
years of service prior to retirement exceeds ten (10) years of continuous full
time service, shall be entitled to maximum monthly payment of premiums by
the City for each year of completed City service as follows:

VOLUNTARY CATASTROPHIC LEAVE DONATION
Guidelines
1. Purpose
The purpose of the voluntary catastrophic leave donation program is to bridge
employees who have been approved leave time to either return to work, long-term
disability, or medical retirement. Permanent employees who accrue vacation,
general leave or compensatory time may donate such leave to another permanent
employee when a catastrophic illness or injury befalls that employee or because
the employee is needed to care for a seriously ill family member. The leave-
sharing Leave Donation Program is Citywide across all departments and is
intended to provide an additional benefit. Nothing in this program is intended to
change current policy and practice for use and/or accrual of vacation, general, or
sick leave.
2. Definitions
Catastrophic Illness or Injury — A Serious debilitating illness or injury, which
incapacitates the employee or an employee's family member.
Family Member — For the purposes of this policy, the definition of family member
is that defined in the Family Medical Leave Act (child, parent, spouse or domestic
partner).
3. Eligible Leave
Accrued compensatory, vacation or general leave hours may be donated. The
minimum donation an employee may make is two (2) hours and the maximum is
forty (40) hours.
4. Eligibility
Permanent employees who accrue vacation or general leave may donate such
hours to eligible recipients. Compensatory time accrued may also be donated. An
eligible recipient is an employee who:
• Accrues vacation or general leave;
• Is not receiving disability benefits or Workers'Compensation payments; and
32
ExhibitAto Non-Associated Resolution No.202-22025-8Sxx 713
NON-ASSOCIATED EMPLOYEES PAY AND BENEFITS RESOLUTION
e—Requests donated leave.
•
5. Transfer of Leave
The maximum donation credited to a recipient's leave account shall be the amount
necessary to ensure continuation of the employee's regular salary during the
employee's period of approved catastrophic leave. Donations will be voluntary,
confidential and irrevocable. Hours donated will be converted into a dollar amount
based on the hourly wage of the donor. The dollar amount will then be converted
into accrued hours based on the recipient's hourly wage.
An employee needing leave will complete a Leave Donation Request Form and
submit it to the Department Director for approval. The Department Director will
forward the form to Human Resources for processing. Human Resources, working
with the department, will send out the request for leave donations.
Employees wanting to make donations will submit a Leave Donation Form to the
Finance Department (payroll).
All donation forms submitted to payroll will be date stamped and used in order
received for each bi-weekly pay period. Multiple donations will be rotated in order
to insure even use of time from donors. Any donation form submitted that is not
needed will be returned to the donor.
6. Other
Please contact the Human Resources Offices with questions regarding employee
participation in this program.
