Fiscal Note
Establishment of these new post-retirement health plans will have no significant net cost to the City beyond the commitment of available staff resources during the period of initial conversion. Under the terms of these new plans, the City will no longer incur FICA expense associated with retiree deposits into the accounts (currently in the range of $25,000 - $30,000 per year) but will also forego the 1% annual administrative fee retained in the past to administer individual employee accounts ($30,000 per year based on current account balances).
Title
Amending Sections 3.36(6)e.2. and 3.52(1)(b)3.c. and d. of the Madison General Ordinances to make changes to the distribution of value of sick leave for non-represented employees.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: These ordinance changes should be considered in conjunction with Resolution ID #04164, related to the City's adoption of the new Prime Choice post-retirement health plans. These ordinance changes eliminate the City's current plan, which allows non-represented employees to choose, 12 months prior to retirement, whether to receive the value of accumulated sick leave in cash or have the funds held for payment of insurance premiums. The effect of these changes is more fully described in the attached Report.
