A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
ORANGE COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT APPROVING
MEDICAL INSURANCE CHANGES IDENTIFIED THROUGH
THE 2015 MEDICAL REOPENER NEGOTIATIONS.
WHEREAS, on April 22, 2015, the Board of Directors ("Directors") of the Orange
County Sanitation District (the "District") authorized the General Manager to negotiate
with the represented employee organizations to discuss changes to District medical plans
per the agreed upon medical reopener.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Government Code Section 3500, et seq., representatives
of the represented employee groups have met and conferred, in good faith, with the
representatives of the District and have reached an understanding with regard to certain
terms and conditions relative to employment;
WHEREAS, during commencement of negotiations the parties agreed that any
changes would take effect on July 1, 2015, or as soon as possible thereafter; and
WHEREAS, the parties have modified the District's medical insurance plan
offerings to reflect the parties' understanding regarding certain terms and conditions as
set forth in the OCSD Medical Insurance Reopener agenda report, which include:
• HDHP I HSA -Adding a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to provide an
additional option for active employees to manage their healthcare. The HDHP will
be accompanied by a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help employees fund their
healthcare costs during employment and after retirement. OCSD will use a portion
of the cost savings in premiums to fund the HSA accounts for enrollees, during
active employment only. Annually, OCSD will fund the HSA, which will be adjusted
each year by calculating the difference between the deductible for the standard
PPO plan and the deductible for the HDHP plan. Exact amounts will be revisited
annually.
• Bronze-Level Kaiser Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) -Adding a bronze-
level Kaiser HMO plan to provide an additional lower-cost healthcare option.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation
District, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER:
Section 1. The aforementioned medical insurance plan changes as outlined
herein are hereby approved and may be implemented effective January 1, 2016.
Section 2. The General Manager is authorized to sign contracts with the
designated carriers for the approved plans.
