;WHEREAS, AWC will no longer offer Health First and Group Health $10 copay beginning
January 1, 2018. The following is a change that is recommended by the City Council to match
the Union Contracts over a suitable alternative health insurance plan for non-union
represented employees; and
WHEREAS, The City has secured alternative health insurance from AWC to cover City
employees called the Health First 250 Plan and Kaiser Permanente 200, which are very similar,
but not identical, to Health First and Group Health $10 copay; and
1. For non-union represented Executive Exempt and Non Exempt employees who enroll in
the Kaiser Permanente 200 health care plan as of January 1, 2018, a one-time payment
into the employee's HRA/VEBA account of: (a) two hundred dollars ($200) if the
employee enrolls in an employee-only plan; or (b) four hundred dollars ($400) if the
employee enrolls in an employee plus spouse/dependent(s) plan, to address the new
health care plan deductible;
2. For non-union represented Executive Exempt and Non Exempt employees who enroll in
the Health First 250 health care plan as of January 1, 2018, a one-time payment into the
employee's HRA/VEBA account of: (a) two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) if the
employee enrolls in an employee-only plan; or (b) up to seven hundred and fifty dollars
($750) if the employee enrolls in an employee plus spouse/dependent(s) plan, to
address the new health care plan deductible;
3. For non-union represented Executive Exempt and Non-Exempt employees who enroll in
the Health First 250 or Kaiser Permanente 200 health care plans as of January 1, 2018, a
one-time payment $150 into the employee's HRA/VEBA account to address additional
medical impacts of the health insurance plan change; now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES
AS FOLLOWS:
i THAT: The City Council deems it in the best interest of the City to review and
