WHEREAS, Section 1004, Article X of the City Charter of the
City of Santa Aha requires the City Manager to prepare, install and
maintain a position classification and pay plan subject to civil
service rules and regulations and the approval of the City Council;
and
WHEREAS, on August 2, 1982, the City Council passed and
adopted Resolution No. 82-110 revising and re-establishing the
Basic Classification and Compensation Plan for the Officers and
Employees of the City of Santa Ana; and
WHEREAS, on July 1, 1991, the City Council passed and adopted
Resolution No. 91-067 amending said Basic Classification and
Compensation Plan to designate certain classes of employment as
Unaffiliated Confidential (UC) and to set forth certain levels of
health insurance benefits and employer paid premium contributions
for said employees; and
WHEREAS, although Resolution No. 82-110 does provide for a
process to deal with increases in health insurance premium costs,
it does not provide for a formula to deal with decreases in health
insurance premiums; and
WHEREAS, it is now desired to amend Resolution No. 82-110 to
provide the formula provided to represented employee units,
implementing 50-50 (fifty-fifty) sharing of health insurance

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA:
1. That Resolution No. 82-110, Section 12 Employee Benefits
for Confidential Employees, Subsection C(2) Health Insurance, is
hereby amended to read as follows:
"2. Effective October 1, 1991, with respect to employees
who do not have dependents included under the programs, the City
will contribute one hundred percent of the monthly premium cost for
"employee-only" coverage, not to exceed the amount equal to 100% of
the most expensive "employee-only" coverage among the City's HMO
plans. If, on or after October 1, 1992, the total monthly premium

for said most expensive "employee-only" coverage exceeds the
October 1, 1991 premium rate, the City will increase its
contribution up to an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the
amount of said increase in the premium. If, on or after October 1,
1993, the total monthly premium for said most expensive "employee-
only" coverage exceeds the October 1, 1992 rate, the City will
increase its contribution up to an amount equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the amount of said increase in the premium.
If, effective October 1, 1994, the total monthly
premium rate for any of the City's "employee-only" health insurance
HMO plans increases, the City will share equally with employees and
will pay fifty percent (50%) of said increase in premium.
Alternatively, if, effective October 1, 1994, the total monthly
premium rate for any of the City's "employee-only" health insurance
HMO plans decreases, the City will share the benefit of this
decrease equally with the employees who are members of that
particular health plan and who are contributing toward their health
insurance premiums and will reduce the City's premium contribution
by fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of said decrease in
premium rate.
For each employee who is covered under a spouse's non-City-
sponsored health plan, the City will pay employee a cash payment
each month in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the monthly
premium amount for the City's lowest "employee-only" coverage, if
said employee waives, in writing, City-paid coverage. Said waiver
shall include a provision warning such employee that reentry into
any of the City-sponsored plans shall require proof of insurability
for such employee and/or family."
2. That Resolution No. 82-110, Section 12 Employee Benefits
for Confidential Employees, Subsection C(3) Health Insurance, is
hereby amended to read as follows:
"3. Effective October 1, 1991, with respect to employees
who do have dependents included under the program, the City will
contribute up to four hundred dollars ($400) per month. If, on or
after October 1, 1992, the total monthly premium for the most
expensive "family" coverage among the City's HMO plans exceeds $400
per month, the City will increase its contribution up to an amount
equal to $400 plus fifty percent (50%) of the amount of said
premium in excess of $400 per month. If, on or after October 1,
1993, the total monthly premium for the most expensive "family"
coverage among the City's HMO plans exceeds the amount of the
City's 1992 contribution, the City will increase its contribution
up to an amount equal to the 1992 contribution amount plus fifty
percent (50%) of the increase above the 1992 amount.
If, effective October 1, 1994, the total monthly

premium rate for any of the City's "family" coverage health
insurance HMO plans increases, the City will share equally with
employees and will pay fifty percent (50%) of said increase in
premium. Alternatively, if, effective October 1, 1994, the total
monthly premium rate for any of the City's "family" coverage health
insurance HMO plans decreases, the City will share the benefit of
this decrease equally with the employees who are members of that
particular health plan and who are contributing toward their health
insurance premiums and will reduce the City's premium contribution
by fifty percent (50%) of the total amount of said decrease in
premium rate."
