The City shall continue to make available group medical, dental and vision benefits to all employees and qualified dependents. The effective date for medical, dental and vision coverage is the first of the month following date of hire. Effective the first of the month following the employee's date of hire, any required employee payroll deduction shall begin with the first full pay period following the effective date of coverage and shall continue through the end of the month in which the employee separates, unless otherwise precluded by the CaPERS Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA). All employee contributions shall be deducted on a pre-tax basis.

The City presently contracts with CaPERS to provide medical coverage. The City is required under CaPERS PEMHCA to make a contribution to retiree medical premiums. A retiree's right to receive a City contribution, and the City's obligation to make payment on behalf of retirees, shall only exist as long as the City contracts with CaPERS for medical insurance. In addition, while the City is in CaPERS, its obligations to make payments on behalf of retirees shall be limited to the required statutory minimum payment.
а. РЕМНСА Employer Contributions
The City shall contribute on behalf of each employee the mandated minimum sum (i.e., the annual PEMHCA statutory minimum) as required per month toward the payment of premiums for medical insurance under the PEMHCA program.
