EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The City purchased tables, chairs, and other furniture for use at the River Lodge.

Staff requests that the City Council declare the following personal property surplus:

Item Condition Disposition Method
River Lodge Chairs Used - Poor Transfer to the Fortuna Chamber River Lodge Tables Used - Poor Transfer to the Fortuna Chamber River Lodge Furniture Used - Poor Transfer to the Fortuna Chamber Approx. Value TOTAL $0.00

SUBJECT: Approve Side Letters to the Memoranda of Understanding Between the City of Fortuna and the Fortuna Police Employees Association, Fortuna Employees Association and Approve Resolution 2026-36, for the Unrepresented Group for Fiscal Year 2025-2027; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the side letters to the Memoranda of Understanding between the City of Fortuna and the Fortuna Police Employees Association, Fortuna Employees Association and approve Resolution 2026-36 for the Unrepresented Group for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-2027; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

Effective July 1, 2026, the City transitioned to an updated medical plan options designed to provide greater long-term stability while maintaining strong and comprehensive coverage.

These changes resulted in increased premiums for both employees and the City. The cost increases reflect broader healthcare trends, including rising hospital and provider costs, increased utilization of specialty medications, including GLP-1 drug and the growing demand for care related to chronic and complex conditions
Healthcare and prescription drug costs continue to increase at a rate that outpaces general inflation.

Despite these changes, employees continue to have access to a quality Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plan through the calendar year.

On April 20, 2026, staff met with Council in closed session to discuss the increases and potential options to help mitigate some of the financial impact being passed on to employees. In recognition of the financial impact, Council directed staff to provide a temporary premium offset to eligible employees for a period of six (6) months beginning July 1, 2026, and ending December 31, 2026.

On September 8, 2026, staff met with Council in closed session to discuss extending the temporary premium offset to eligible employees for an additional period of six (6) months beginning January 1, 2027, and ending June 30, 2027.

Consent Agenda Item 3j

To memorialize agreement, staff is presenting two side letters, one for the FPEA and one for the FEA, as well as Resolution 2026-36, which will supersede the previously adopted resolution .

BACKGROUND
The recent increase in health plan costs is the result of measurable changes in claims activity and broader healthcare market pressures and not a single event or isolated issue. These changes are directly impacting program costs and, in turn, employee premiums.

During the 2025 plan year, claims activity shifted significantly. The data shows that the number of high-cost claimants increased by nearly 80%, while the cost of those claims increased by approximately 90%. At the same time, total medical claims increased by approximately 42%, and pharmacy costs increased by approximately 36%. These changes reflect increases in both the frequency and severity of claims, meaning more individuals are utilizing care, and the cost of that care has also increased.

Importantly, these trends are not unique to this program. The broader healthcare market is experiencing sustained cost pressure driven by rising provider costs, increased utilization, and growth in specialty medications. Nationally, healthcare costs are increasing much faster than general inflation, and prescription drug spending continues to be one of the fastest-growing components of healthcare.

Despite these increases, the program remains competitively positioned. Even with these changes, the program continues to perform at or below comparable public agency benchmarks, and the fully insured market has shown limited appetite to quote programs of this size and structure.

The program is being actively managed with a focus on long-term stability, cost control, and maintaining competitive positioning in a challenging market, while continuing to provide comprehensive coverage.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total cost to the City for this limited duration offset is $47,750 and a breakdown of the City’s portion is included in the table below. The increased cost will be offset by the savings realized by freezing two Street Maintenance Worker II positions which is estimated to save the City $105,000 to the General Fund through June 30, 2027.

Consent Agenda Item 3j

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Approve the side letters to the Memoranda of Understanding between the City of Fortuna and the Fortuna Police Employees Association, the City of Fortuna and the Fortuna Employees Association and Resolution 2026-36, for the Unrepresented Group for FY 2025-2027; and Authorize the City Manager to Execute. Consent Agenda vote.

ALTERNATIVE TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

The City Council could choose not to approve side letters and Resolution, which would impose additional financial strain on employees, potentially driving some to seek employment with neighboring agencies offering higher wages. This could also result in high turnover rate that the City would be challenged to navigate during a hiring freeze to General Fund positions. This is not recommended as this would create labor relations impacts, decline in morale and engagement and overall workforce instability for the City.

2. The employee must provide written proof of other coverage.

3. All local, federal and state laws must be observed, as well as conditions of any contract into which the City has entered, or will enter; particularly the Section 125 plan the City has in place.

Under no circumstances will an employee be permitted to aggregate SDI, or other benefits in an amount exceeding the employee’s regular wage or wage.

SECTION 5. HOLIDAY BENEFITS AND PAID LEAVES
Vacation
The vacation schedule for unrepresented non-safety employees shall be as follows:

Leave in Bank Allowed

Vacation leave may be taken as it accrues, after one year of employment. Each unrepresented non- 6 safety employee shall be granted at least eighty (68) hours of vacation per calendar year provided the employee has vacation time accrued.

An employee who becomes ill or has a family medical emergency during his or her scheduled vacation may elect to use sick leave or family sick leave in lieu of vacation time, provided the department head is notified at the beginning of the illness, injury or emergency and; provided further the employee, upon return from vacation provides the Human Resources Manager with a certificate from a medical doctor stating the nature and extent of the employee's illness or injury during his or her vacation.

SECTION 6. ACCRUED VACATION / SICK LEAVE RECORDS
The City will provide each employee on a bi-weekly basis a record of accrued vacation and sick leave, which the employee has earned. Vacation may be accumulated up the amount shown in the chart above.

To participate in this program, the employee must return a form approved by management that is dated and signed. Payment will be made at the regular pay rate as of the date the form is submitted to the Finance Department. Forms must be submitted 1 week prior to desired pay date or they will be processed in the following pay period.

Upon separation, all unused accrued vacation leave shall be paid to the employee at his or her regular rate of pay.

SECTION 8. ADMINISTRATIVE TIME/MANAGEMENT LEAVE
