ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Ordinance. DISCUSSION DURING THE FIRST READING ON FEBRUARY 87 2006 During the first reading of this ordinance, the City Commission made and passed a motion to change the minimum service requirement for retiree health insurance benefits for elected and appointed officials who participate in the defined contribution plan. The minimum service time for such officials was changed from ten (10) years to five (5) years. This change has been reflected in the final ordinance. BACKGROUND At the December 7, 2005 City Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted a Resolution accepting the recommendation of the Administration to resolve the remaining impasse between the Administration and the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Among the issues resolved was the issue of health benefits for retired employees. The City currently allows employees and retirees to participate in the City's group health insurance program. The City makes a contribution toward the cost of retiree health insurance coverage that is determined by the City Commission each year as part of the City budget, based on available funds. As part of the City Commission's resolution of the impasse between the Administration and the CVVA, several changes in retiree health insurance benefits were made, including the following: Any employee (except those hired into positions covered by the GSA collective bargaining agreement) who intends to participate in the City's group health insurance program upon retirement must make a one-time irrevocable election to participate in the City plan prior to termination of City employment. Any employee who elects to continue under the City's group health insurance program upon retirement, but thereafter discontinues or is discontinued from such coverage, may resume coverage only at the employee's expense, with no City contribution or payment toward the cost of such coverage. II. Any employee (except those hired into positions covered by the AFSCME and the GSA collective bargaining agreements) hired on or after February 1, 2006, the date the CWA agreement was ratified, who elect to participate in the City's group health insurance program upon retirement will receive, in lieu of the current City contribution toward the cost of health coverage, a monthly payment toward the cost of continued participation in the initial amount of $10.00 per year of creditable service, up to a maximum of $250.00 per month until age 65 and $5.00 per year of creditable service up to a maximum of $125.00 per month thereafter. This benefit will begin at the time a retired employee begins to receive normal retirement benefits, and continue for the lifetime of the retiree. III. Any employee who elected or elects to participate in the City's Defined Contribution Retirement System (401A) will be required to have at least ten years of regular, full-time City employment before becoming eligible for retiree health benefits. The above changes will apply immediately to all employees in positions covered by the CWA collective bargaining agreement and to all other employees who are not in any bargaining unit. The changes in Section I and III will immediately apply to employees in positions covered by the American Federation of County State and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) collective bargaining agreement. The changes in Section II will be the subject of collective bargaining negotiations between the Administration and AFSCME. The changes in Section III will immediately apply to employees in positions covered by the Government Supervisors Association (GSA) collective bargaining agreement. The changes in Sections I and II will be the subject of collective bargaining negotiations between the Administration and GSA. FISCAL IMPACT It is hard to determine the actual fiscal impact of this change although it is expected to yield a savings over time. In 2004, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued requirements for public agencies to report costs and obligations pertaining to health and other benefits of current and future retired employees in a manner similar to how they now report pension plan obligations. Under this requirement, costs must be recognized as a current cost during the working years of the employee rather than current practice of paying an amount each year equal to the benefits distributed or claimed in each fiscal year with no provision for future funding, for example, "a pay-as-you-go" approach. An actuarial estimate is based on several factors including how many employees the City is expected to have that will receive the benefit, how long employees are expected to live after retiring (and hence how many years they will receive the benefit), anticipated return on investments, and how much health care costs are expected to increase. Under current City ordinances, retirees are entitled to 50% of the cost of health, life, and dental insurance to be paid by the City. As health insurance costs continue to increase dramatically each year, the unfunded liability will grow. The proposed change would establish a cap of $250 per month, or $3,000 per year as the maximum liability for future employees hired by the City, therefore, over time, limiting the unfunded liability of the City. The requirement is to be phased in over several years, with the earliest requirement for reporting in Fiscal Year 2007-08. No actuarial valuation has yet been made for the impact on this requirement for the City of Miami Beach; however, other cities have cited impacts in the hundred of millions of dollars. The resulting impact will be that the City of Miami Beach will have to record a large unfunded liability, and the financial community will be looking to see how the City plans to address the shortfall over time. CONCLUSION The proposed Ordinance implements some of the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreements between the City and the CWA, the AFSCME and the GSA as they pertain to retiree health benefits. The Administration recommends adopting the ordinance on the second and final reading by the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, amending Miami Beach City Code Chapter 78, Article II thereof, entitled "Employee Benefit Plans"; amending section 78-81, entitled "Group Health Insurance", and section 78- 82, entitled "Health Maintenance Organization", to require that employees make a one-time irrevocable election to continue participating in the City group health insurance or health maintenance organization program prior to termination of employment to be eligible for such continued participation; providing that employees who participate in the defined contribution retirement system must have ten years of full-time City employment to be eligible for retiree health benefits; providing for specified City contributions toward the cost of retiree health coverage for employees hired on or after the effective date of this ordinance; implementing certain provisions of the terms of collective bargaining agreements between the City and the AFSCME, GSA and CVVA; providing certain exceptions; repealing all ordinances in conflict therewith; providing for severability; providing for codification; and providing for an effective date.
