Executive
Summary
The current Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the Santa Monica Public Attorney’s Legal Support Staff
Union (PALSSU) does not expire until June 30, 2010. The City and PALSSU agreed to open the MOU to
revise Section 3.02 (Health Insurance Programs) Subsection A. (Medical
Insurance). Currently, PALSSU members
are making a $27.08 biweekly contribution into a Post Employment Health Plan
(PEHP). With the revision to the MOU,
the City will make the $27.08 biweekly contribution into the PEHP, and PALSSU
employees will make biweekly payments of $27.08 towards the cost of their
medical insurance premiums, which ensures compliance with Internal Revenue
Service regulations.
Financial Impacts &
Budget Actions
The amendment to the Santa Monica Public Attorney’s Legal Support
Staff Union Memorandum of Understanding will have no budget/financial impact to
the City. The City’s $27.08 biweekly contribution
into the Post Employment Health Plan will be offset by the PALSSU employee’s $27.08
biweekly contribution towards the cost of their medical insurance premiums.
