If openings exist, an employee may elect to forego enrollment in
the City sponsored medical insurance plan. Upon request of an
employee, and with City Council approval, an amount of $15.0..00
per month may be awarded to full-time employees in lieu of
medical insurance. (Resolution 313, 7/94) Part-time employees
working more than half time, but less than full-time shall be eligible
to receive one half of the stipend amount. (Resolution 348, 7/96)
This option may be made available only as long as the
participation requirements of the insurance provider are met. If no
openings exist, part-time employees shall be required to enroll in
the City sponsored medical plan . Temporary employees are not
eligible for benefits.
A. As vacancies to receive cash in lieu of medical insurance
benefits occur they will be announced. Employees will at
that time be given an opportunity to apply to fill vacancies
based on seniority and other factors as determined by the
City Administrator and Mayor. Reinstatement of medical
insurance at any time other than during open enrollment
(January 1) will result in the employee being responsible
for payment of both the employee's and employer's costs
from the reinstatement date to the last open enrollment
period.
NOTE: Eligible part-time employees receive pro-rata
benefits based on the number of hours worked each week
(i.e., 20 hours per week receives 500/0 benefit) and are
responsible for payment of the difference between the city
paid pro-rata share and the actual cost of insurance
benefits. (Ordinance 470, 6/93) Temporary employees are
not eligible for insurance benefits.
B. Upon the date of hire, the employee becomes eligible for
insurance benefits for themselves. Upon successful
completion of the initial mandatory probationary period,
and classification change to regular employee, medical,
dental, vision and employee assistance program insurance
benefits are extended to employee's spouse and eligible
dependents as determined by the insurance company.
The only exception from this practice would be for
negotiated approved labor or employee contracts.
Upon mutual agreement between the employee and the City, and
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the insurance
