(Employees and Annuitants hired prior to August 1, 2004) WHEREAS, (1) the City of Cupertino is a contracting agency under Government Code Section 22920 and subject to the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act (the “Act”); and
WHEREAS, (2) Government Code Section 22892(a) provides that a contracting agency subject to Act shall fix the amount of the employer contribution by resolution; and
WHEREAS, (3) Government Code Section 22892(b) provides that the employer contribution shall be an equal amount for both employees and annuitants, but may not be less than the amount prescribed by Section 22892(b) of the Act;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby pass and adopt (a) That the employer contribution for each employee or annuitant shall be the amount necessary to pay the full cost of his/her enrollment, including the enrollment of family members, in a health benefits plan up to a maximum of:
Medical Group Monthly Employer Health Contribution
Self Self + 1 Self + Family
001 Management $1187.63 $2375.26 $3087.84

(b) City of Cupertino has fully complied with any and all applicable provisions of Government Code Section 7507 in electing the benefits set forth above; and be it further; and
(c) That the participation of the employees and annuitants of City of Cupertino shall be subject to determination of its status as an “agency or instrumentality of the state or political subdivision of a State” that is eligible to participate in a governmental plan within the meaning of Section 414(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, upon publication of final Regulations pursuant to such Section. If it is determined that City of Cupertino would not qualify as an agency or instrumentality of the state or political subdivision of a State under such final Regulations, CalPERS may be obligated, and reserves the right to terminate the health coverage of all participants of the employer; and be it further; and (d) That the executive body appoint and direct, and it does hereby appoint and direct, City Clerk to file with City Council, to file with the Board a verified copy of this resolution, and to perform on behalf of City of Cupertino all functions required of it under the Act; and be it further; and
(e) That coverage under the Act be effective on January 1, 2027.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, “CEQA”) because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment. In the event that this Resolution is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty to have no possibility that the action approved may have a significant effect on the environment. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this circumstance, the proposed action fixing the employer contribution under the Public Employees’ Medical and Hospital Care Act would have no or only a de minimis effect on the environment because it only has a fiscal impact. The foregoing determination is made by the City Council in its independent judgment.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Cupertino this 6th day of October, 2026, by the following vote:
