HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH
PLAN AND HEALTH SAVINGS
ACCOUNT (HSA)
A High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with the corresponding Health Savings Account (HSA) gives you more control over your health care dollars. Since you are responsible for 100% of all covered services until you meet the annual deductible, your HSA will help cover your out-of-pocket costs. Once you meet your deductible, the medical plan will generally pay the majority for in-network covered services until you reach the annual out-of-pocket maximum, at which time the plan will pay 100% of covered services.
Selecting highest level of benefits under the plan while also allowing you to maximize your HSA funds.
An HSA is a tax-favored account that allows you to save and pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free — now and in the future.
• You contribute pre-tax dollars to the account through payroll deduction. This lowers your taxable income and gives you more take-home pay. • Account balances accrue interest tax-free. There are many investment options to consider through the MV Transportation-sponsored HSA.
• When you pay for qualified medical expenses, you withdraw funds tax-free by swiping your HSA card. Remember, you can only withdraw funds up to the amount you have in your HSA.
Keep in mind that the HSA account is yours. You own all funds that you contribute to the account. If you retire or leave MV Transportation, you take the funds with you.
There is no “use it or lose it” rule. Any remaining money at the end of the year rolls over to the next plan year.
HSA Eligibility Requirements
You are eligible to open an HSA if you meet the requirements defined by the IRS below:
• You are covered under a High Deductible Health plan (defined as a plan with a minimum deductible of $1,400 for individual coverage, $2,800 for family coverage) and have no other health coverage
• You or your covered spouse do not participate in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account or health reimbursement account
• You are not enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare • You are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return For 2022, HSA holders can choose to save up to $3,650 for an individual and $7,300 for a family per calendar year (HSA holders age 55 and older get to save an extra $1,000, which means $4,600 for an individual and $8,200 for a family). 8 City Council/RSA Agenda 305 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Qualified vs. Non-Qualified Medical Expenses
Your HSA funds will only cover qualied medical expenses. If you use your HSA for non-qualied medical expenses, you will be subject to income tax on the expense amount and an additional 20% tax penalty. For individuals age 65 and older, the penalty is waived, but the income tax provision will apply for non-medical distributions.
Qualified Medical Expenses Non-Qualified Medical Expenses • Most medical care that is subject to your deductible
(coinsurance, doctor visits, inpatient or outpatient
treatment, etc.)
• Prescription drugs
• Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, only if you
obtain a prescription
• Insulin (with or without a prescription)
• Dental and vision care
• Select insurance premiums:
– COBRA
– Qualied long-term care insurance
– Health insurance premiums paid while receiving
unemployment benets
– Health insurance aer you turn 65, except for a
Medicare supplemental policy
• Insurance premiums (other than those listed on the
Qualied Medical Expenses list)
• OTC drugs that you do not have a prescription for
• Surgery purely for cosmetic reasons
• Expenses covered by another health plan

9 City Council/RSA Agenda 306 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
TELEMEDICINE
Participants in any of MV Transportation’s Medical Plans have access to additional medical care through telemedicine, which provides you and your family with access to licensed physicians who can resolve many routine medical issues. Members can request consultations via phone, from anywhere in the U.S., 24/7/365. Physicians can diagnose, recommend treatment, and write short-term prescriptions when necessary for treatment of more than 80 health conditions, including: allergies, cold/u, fever, headaches, nausea, and sinus infections. Telemedicine is not intended to handle medical emergencies or ongoing health conditions.
The Benefits of Telemedicine
Using telemedicine is easy and convenient.
• Saves time — average call back time is much shorter than an average in-person visit • Saves money — avoid the higher costs of urgent care or emergency room visits • Faster service — be seen sooner rather than waiting for an appointment with your doctor’s oce
• Reduces exposure to illness — connect with a doctor from the comfort of your own home or oce
How it Works

Virtual Visits vs.
Telemedicine
Virtual visits are another easy and
convenient alternative to in-person,
face-to-face care. Virtual visits are
di
erent from telemedicine.
• Virtual visits are with your
own Primary Care or Specialist
Physician.
• Virtual visits can apply to
Primary Care or Specialist
Physicians, based on their
individual practices. Di
erent
out of pocket costs will apply,
see your Plan Document
for details.
• Being able to see your own
Physician is one of the major
di
erences between virtual
visits and telemedicine.
• Call your Physician to schedule
a virtual visit.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSA)
MV Transportation o
ers a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) as a smart and convenient way to stretch your benet dollars and receive real tax savings:
How FSAs Work
While out-of-pocket health care expenses are typically paid for using your aer-tax dollars, an FSA gives you the opportunity to set your pre-tax dollars aside to pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses through contributions taken from your paycheck before taxes are withheld. Since these contributions are not subject to federal, state, or payroll tax withholding, you receive more value for the dollars you spend on eligible expenses for you and your family.
Please Note:
e Health Care Flexible Spending Account is for paying health-related expenses.
e Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account is for paying expenses related to daycare for your children or elder care for a parent. e Health Care Flexible
Spending Account comes with a card that you can use to pay health related expenses at the doctor’s oce or pharmacy. Accessing the funds in your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account requires that you pay the expense, then submit a claim for reimbursement.
During enrollment, you elect the pre-determined amount you would like to set aside annually to be designated as an FSA contribution to be utilized for qualifying expenses.
Remember, if you enroll in a
High Deductible Health Plan,
you are not eligible to contribute
to the Health Care FSA.
e HSA
will take the place of the Health
Care FSA.
Important Rules to
Keep in Mind
•
e IRS allows you to roll over
up to $550 of unused Health
FSA funds to the following
plan year. Any amount over
$550 will be forfeited.
• You cannot transfer funds
from one FSA to another.
• You cannot stop or change
your FSA contribution amount
during the year unless you
have a qualied change in
family status.
• You must save your receipts!
Submit copies of your receipts
when ling a claim.
•
e maximum contribution
to the Health Care FSA is
$2,750 per year.
•
e maximum contribution
to the Dependent Care FSA
is $5,000 per year ($2,500
if married, ling separate
income tax return).
12 City Council/RSA Agenda 309 Tuesday, May 23, 2023

IMPORTANT NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information.
Please review it carefully.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) requires the MV Transportation, Inc. Welfare Plan (the “Plan”) to maintain the privacy of your individual health information (called “Protected Health Information” or “PHI”) – whether received in writing, in an electronic medium, or as an oral communication.
The Plans Duties Regarding Your PHI
Under HIPAA, the Plan must provide you with a notice that describes its (1) legal duties and (2) policies and procedures regarding your Protected Health Information. For any health benefits that are provided to you under an insurance contract, you will receive a separate privacy notice from the insurance company.
The Plan is required, by law, to follow the policies and procedures described in this notice. However, these policies and procedures may be changed from time to time as the need arises. Any changes will be applicable to all Protected Health Information maintained by the Plan. If changes are made to the policies and procedures, you will be provided with an updated notice.
It is important to note that this these rules apply to the Plan, not MV Transportation, Inc. (the “Company”) as an employer. Different policies may apply to other Company programs or to data unrelated to the Plan.
How the Plan May Use or Disclose Your Protected Health
Information
The privacy rules under HIPAA generally allow the use and disclosure of your protected health information without your permission (known as an “authorization”) for purposes of health care treatment, payment activities, and health care operations. Here are some examples of what that might entail:
• Treatment includes providing, coordinating, or managing health care by one or more health care providers or doctors. Treatment can also include coordination or management of care between a provider and a third party, and consultation and referrals between providers. For example, the Plan may share your health information with physicians who are treating you.
• Payment includes activities by the Plan, other plans, or providers to obtain premiums, make coverage determinations, and provide reimbursement for health care. This can include eligibility determinations, reviewing services for medical necessity or appropriateness, utilization management activities, claims management, and billing, as well as “behind the scenes” Plan functions such as risk adjustment, collection, or reinsurance. For example, the Plan may share information about your coverage or the expenses you have incurred with another health plan in order to coordinate payment of benefits.
• Health care operations include activities by the Plan (and in limited circumstances other plans or providers) such as wellness and risk assessment programs, quality assessment and improvement activities, customer service, and internal grievance resolution. Health care operations also include vendor evaluations, credentialing, training, accreditation activities, underwriting, premium rating, arranging for medical review and audit activities, and business planning and development. For example, the Plan may use information about your claims to review the effectiveness of wellness programs.
The amount of health information used, disclosed, or requested without your authorization will be limited to the minimum necessary for these permitted purposes and, when needed, restricted to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purposes, as defined under the HIPAA rules. This minimum necessary standard, however, will not apply to disclosures (i) to a health care provider for treatment, (ii) to you or your personal representative, (iii) made pursuant to your authorization, (iv) to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), (v) required by law, and (vi) required for the Plan’s compliance with legal regulations.
If the Plan uses or discloses PHI for underwriting purposes (generally, eligibility determinations, premium computations, and any other activities related to the creation, renewal, or replacement of health benefits), the Plan will not use or disclose PHI that is your genetic information for such purposes. Genetic information includes information regarding genetic tests for you and your family members, information regarding the manifestation of a disease or disorder in your family members, and any request for (or receipt of) genetic services, including participation in clinical research trials that involve genetic services.
The Plan may also contact you to provide appointment reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.
How the Plan May Share Your Protected Health
Information with the Company
The Plan, or a Plan health insurer or HMO, may disclose your health information without your written authorization to the Company for plan administration purposes. The Company may need your health information to administer benefits under the Plan. The Company agrees not to use or disclose your health information other than as permitted or required by the Plan documents and by law. The Company Corporate Benefits staff and carefully selected individuals within the Company are the only Company Team Members who will have access to your health information for plan administration functions.
Here’s how additional information may be shared between the Plan and the Company as allowed under the HIPAA rules:
• The Plan, or a Plan health insurer or HMO, may disclose “summary health information” to the Company if requested, for purposes of obtaining premium bids to provide coverage under the Plan, or for modifying, amending, or terminating the Plan. Summary health information is information that summarizes participants’ claims information, from which names and other identifying information have been removed.
• The Plan, or a Plan health insurer or HMO, may disclose to the Company information on whether an individual is participating in the Plan or has enrolled or disenrolled in an insurance option or HMO offered by the Plan.
18 City Council/RSA Agenda 315 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
In addition, you should know that the Company cannot and will not use health information obtained from the Plan for any employmentrelated actions. However, health information collected by the Company from other sources (for example under the Family and Medical Leave Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, or workers’ compensation) is not protected under HIPAA (although this type of information may be protected under other federal or state laws).
Other Permitted Uses or Disclosure of Protected Health
Information
In certain cases, your protected health information can be disclosed without authorization to a family member, close friend, or other person you identify who is involved in your care or payment for your care.
Information about your location, general condition, or death may be provided to a similar person (or to a public or private entity authorized to assist in disaster relief e

of any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your unsecured health information as required by law.
Your Individual Rights
You have the following rights with respect to your protected health information the Plan maintains. These rights are subject to certain limitations, as discussed below. This section of the notice describes how you may exercise each individual right. See the table at the end of this notice for information on how to submit requests.
Right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your health information and the Plan’s right to refuse
You have the right to ask the Plan to restrict the use and disclosure of your protected health information for treatment, payment, or health care operations, except for uses or disclosures required by law. You have the right to ask the Plan to restrict the use and disclosure of your health information to family members, close friends, or other persons you identify as being involved in your care or payment for your care.
You also have the right to ask the Plan to restrict use and disclosure of health information to notify those persons of your location, general condition, or death – or to coordinate those efforts with entities assisting in disaster relief efforts. If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing.
The Plan is not required to agree to a requested restriction. If the Plan agrees to a restriction, it may later be terminated by your written request, by agreement between you and the Plan (including an oral agreement), or unilaterally by the Plan for health information created or received after you are notified that the Plan has removed the restrictions. The Plan may also disclose health information about you if you need emergency treatment, even if the Plan has agreed to a restriction.
An entity covered by these HIPAA rules (such as your health care provider or its business associate) must comply with your request that health information regarding a specific health care item or service not be disclosed to the Plan for purposes of payment or health care operations if you paid out of pocket for the item or service and did not receive any payment for the item or service from the Plan.
Right to receive confidential communications of your health information
If you think that disclosure of your health information by the usual means could endanger you in some way, the Plan will accommodate reasonable requests to receive communications of health information from the Plan by alternative means or at alternative locations.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing and you must include a statement that disclosure of all or part of the information could endanger you.
Right to inspect and copy your health information
With certain exceptions, you have the right to inspect or obtain a copy of your health information in a “designated record set.” You may also request an electronic copy of your health information if it is maintained electronically. This may include medical and billing records maintained for a health care provider, enrollment, payment, claims adjudication, and case or medical management record systems maintained by a plan, or a group of records the Plan uses to make decisions about individuals. However, you do not have a right to inspect or obtain copies of psychotherapy notes or information compiled for civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings. The Plan may deny your right to access, although in certain circumstances you may request a review of the denial.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing. Within 30 days of its receipt of your request, the Plan will provide you with:
• the access or copies you requested;
• a written denial that explains why your request was denied and any rights you may have to have the denial reviewed or file a complaint; or
• a written statement that the time period for reviewing your request will be extended for no more than 30 more days, along with the reasons for the delay and the date by which the Plan expects to address your request.
The Plan may provide you with a summary or explanation of the information instead of access to or copies of your health information, if you agree in advance and pay any applicable fees. The Plan also may charge reasonable fees for copies or postage. If the Plan does not maintain the health information but knows where it is maintained, you will be informed of where to direct your request.
You also may request that copies of your health information be sent to another entity or person, so long as that request is clear, specific, and directs where the copies are to be sent. Any charge that is assessed to you for these copies, if any, must be reasonable and based on Plan costs.
Right to amend your health information that is inaccurate or incomplete
With certain exceptions, you have a right to request that the Plan amend your health information in a designated record set. The Plan may deny your request for a number of reasons. For example, your request may be denied if the health information is accurate and complete, was not created by the Plan (unless the person or entity that created the information is no longer available), is not part of the designated record set, or is not available for inspection (e.g., psychotherapy notes or information compiled for civil, criminal, or administrative proceedings).
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing, and you must include a statement to support the requested amendment. Within 60 days of receipt of your request, the Plan will:
• make the amendment as requested;
• provide a written denial that explains why your request was denied and any rights you may have to disagree or file a complaint; or • provide a written statement that the time period for reviewing your request will be extended for no more than 30 more days, along with the reasons for the delay and the date by which the Plan expects to address your request.
Right to receive an accounting of disclosures of your health information
You have the right to a list of certain disclosures of your health information the Plan has made. This is often referred to as an “accounting of disclosures.” You generally may receive this accounting if the disclosure is required by law, in connection with public health activities, or in similar situations listed in the table earlier in this notice, unless otherwise indicated below.
You may receive information on disclosures of your health information for up to six years before the date of your request, but not earlier than April 14, 2003 (the general effective date of the HIPAA privacy rules).
You do not have a right to receive an accounting of any disclosures made:
20 City Council/RSA Agenda 317 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
• for treatment, payment, or health care operations (except as provided below);
• to you about your own health information;
• incidental to other permitted or required disclosures; • where authorization was provided;
• to family members or friends involved in your care (where disclosure is permitted without authorization);
• for national security or intelligence purposes or to correctional institutions or law enforcement officials in certain circumstances; or • as part of a “limited data set” (health information that excludes certain identifying information).
In addition, if the Plan (or a Plan business associate) maintains electronic health records, you may (to the extent required by law) receive an accounting of disclosures made for treatment, payment, or health care operations contained in such records, during the three years before the date of your request. In general, an “electronic health record” is generally a record that contains health-related information for an individual, which is gathered and consulted by authorized health care clinicians and staff.
Your right to an accounting of disclosures to a health oversight agency or law enforcement official may be suspended at the request of the agency or official.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing. Within 60 days of the request, the Plan will provide you with the list of disclosures or a written statement that the time period for providing this list will be extended for no more than 30 more days, along with the reasons for the delay and the date by which the Plan expects to address your request. You may make one request in any 12-month period at no cost to you, but the Plan may charge a fee for subsequent requests. You will be notified of the fee in advance and have the opportunity to change or revoke your request.
Right to obtain a paper copy of this notice from the Plan upon request
You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this privacy notice upon request. Even individuals who agreed to receive this notice electronically may request a paper copy at any time.
Notice of breaches of unsecured protected health information The Plan must provide prompt notice of any unauthorized access, use or disclosure (called a “breach”) of your unsecured PHI no later than 60 days of the discovery of the breach. If the breach affects more than 500 individuals in a state or other jurisdiction, notice also will be provided through one or more prominent media outlets in the area. The notice will describe what happened (including the date of the breach and the date the breach was discovered), the type of PHI involved, steps you should take to protect yourself, and steps the Plan will take to mitigate against any harmful effects from the breach and to protect against future breaches.
Changes to the information in this notice
The Plan must abide by the terms of the privacy notice currently in effect. This notice takes effect on October 15, 2019. However, the Plan reserves the right to change the terms of its privacy policies, as described in this notice, at any time and to make new provisions effective for all health information that the Plan maintains. This includes health information that was previously created or received, not just health information created or received after the policy is changed.
If changes are made to the Plan’s privacy policies described in this notice, you will be provided with a revised privacy notice delivered via U.S. Mail to your most recent address on file.
Complaints
If you believe that your privacy rights have been violated, you may complain to the Plan in writing at the location described below or to the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Hubert H. Humphrey Building, 200 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20201 or by calling 1-877-696-6775, or visiting https://www.hhs. gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaint/. You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint.

Trade Act of 2002
The Trade Act of 2002, as subsequently amended, and as extended by the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2015, created a tax credit for certain individuals who become eligible for trade adjustment assistance and for certain retired Team Members who are receiving pension payments from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) (eligible individuals).
Under these tax provisions, eligible individuals can either take a tax credit or get advance payment of 72.5% of premiums paid for qualified health insurance, including continuation coverage. If you have questions about these tax provisions, you may call the Department of Labor toll-free at 1-888-365-6822, or the IRS 1040 Tax Assistance line at 1-800-829-1040. More information about the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act and the Health Coverage Tax Credit is also available at www.doleta.gov/tradeact/ and http://www.irs. gov/credits-deductions/individuals/HCTC.
Mental Health Parity
To the extent applicable, any requirements relating to mental and nervous disorder and chemical dependency benefits provided under this plan will comply with the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996, and the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, and any regulations thereunder.
No Eligibility Discrimination Due to Health
The plan will not establish rules for eligibility (including continued eligibility) for medical benefits that are based on one or more health- status-related factors. The plan will comply with the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 to the extent applicable.
Family Medical Leave Act Coverage
An associate who is on an authorized leave of absence under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) may continue participation in the medical plan for up to 12 weeks. Such participation will be provided under the terms and conditions of the applicable coverage option, including the rate of contributions that would have been applicable if the associate had continued employment and subject to the terms and conditions of the FMLA policy of the Administrator.
Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act Coverage
Any associate covered under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) may continue to participate and be eligible to receive benefits under the medical in accordance with USERRA rules and regulations.
Qualified Medical Child Support Orders

The Company has established detailed procedures for determining whether an order qualifies as a QMCSO. Associates’ spouses and beneficiaries can obtain, without charge, a copy of such procedures from the Administrator.
Newborn’s and Mother’s Health Protection Act
Group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group insurance coverage generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for a mother or newborn child to 48 hours following a normal vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than the above periods. In any case, such plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of the above periods.
Notice of Special Enrollment Rights Under
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA)
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health coverage (including COBRA), you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).
In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents.
22 City Council/RSA Agenda 319 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
However, you must request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.
In addition, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan within 60 days if you or your dependents’ coverage under a Medicaid plan or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plan terminates due to loss of eligibility for such coverage, or if you or your dependents become eligible for premium assistance under a Medicaid plan or a CHIP plan.
To request special enrollment or obtain more information, please contact the MV Benefits Enrollment Center at 1-833-989-1970 or online at [email protected]. Coverage will be effective for all individuals who become covered under this Plan because of a loss of other coverage as soon as administratively practicable following a timely application for special enrollment. Coverage for a new dependent will be effective on the date of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, provided that timely application for special enrollment is made.
Important Notice about Your Prescription
Drug Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage under the Plan and prescription drug coverage available for people with Medicare. It also explains the options you have under Medicare prescription drug coverage and can help you decide whether or not you want to enroll. At the end of this notice is information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage.
Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare through Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plans that offer prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.
Separate Notices Depending on the Plan You Are
Covered Under
This notice has two separate parts – one for participants covered under the High Deductible Health Plan, and another part for participants covered under any other option. You should read the program that applies to you.
Notice for Programs Other than the High Deductible
Health Plan
The following notice applies to you if you are covered under any Plan health program other than the High Deductible Health Plan. We have determined that the prescription drug coverage offered under each of these plan programs is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay, and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage.
Because your existing coverage under these programs is, on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage, you can keep your existing prescription drug coverage under your plan option and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage.
When Can You Join a Medicare Drug Plan?
Individuals can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan when they first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th through December 7th. If you lose your current prescription drug coverage through no fault of your own, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare prescription drug plan.
You should compare your current prescription drug coverage, including which drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. By comparing the coverage and costs of the plans, you can determine if adding the Medicare prescription coverage will be beneficial to you.
What Happens to Your Current Coverage If You Decide
to Join a Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to enroll in Medicare prescription drug plan and drop your current prescription drug coverage under the plan, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back. If you or a covered dependent decides to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and do not drop your current prescription drug coverage under the Plan, Medicare will be the secondary payer for prescription drug costs. In other words, eligible prescription drug claims will be paid under the Plan first. If there are prescription drug claims that are not covered or are only partially covered under the Plan, Medicare may pay for eligible expenses that are not paid under the Plan.
Please contact us for more information about what happens to your coverage if you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you decide to join a Medicare Drug Plan, your MV coverage will not be affected.
Since you now have prescription drug coverage that is as good as Medicare coverage (provided you are covered under a Plan program other than the High Deductible Health Plan), you can choose to join a Medicare prescription drug plan later. You will not have to pay the higher premium (described below) as long as you do not go 63 days or longer without prescription coverage that is as good as Medicare.
When Will You Pay a Higher Premium (Penalty) to Join a
Medicare Drug Plan?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your coverage under one of these programs and don’t enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may have to pay a higher premium (a penalty) to enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage later. Specifically, if you go 63 days or longer without prescription drug coverage that is at least as good as Medicare’s prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium for Medicare prescription drug coverage will go up at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month after your initial enrollment period that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than what most other people pay.
You’ll have to pay this higher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the next October to enroll.
Notice for High Deductible Health Plan
The following notice applies to you if you are covered under the High Deductible Health Plan. We have determined that the prescription drug coverage under this plan is, on average for all plan participants, not expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays. Therefore, your coverage under this plan is considered Non-Creditable Coverage. This is important because you will most 23 City Council/RSA Agenda 320 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
likely get more help with your drug costs if you join a Medicare drug plan than if you only have prescription drug coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan.
is also is important because it may mean
that you will have to pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you do not join a Medicare drug plan when you rst become eligible.
You can keep your current coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan. However, because your coverage is non-creditable, you have decisions to make about Medicare prescription drug coverage that may a
ect how much you pay for that coverage, depending on if and when you join a Medicare drug plan. When you make your decision, you should compare your current coverage, including what drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans o
ering Medicare
prescription drug coverage in your area.
When Can You Join a Medicare Drug Plan?
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you rst become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th. If you decide to drop your current coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan, since it is employer-sponsored group coverage, you will be eligible for a two (2) months Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare prescription drug plan; however, you also may pay a higher premium (a penalty) because you did not have creditable coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan.
When Will You Pay a Higher Premium (Penalty) to Join a
Medicare Drug Plan?
Since the coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan is not creditable, depending on how long you go without creditable prescription drug coverage, you may pay a penalty to join a Medicare drug plan. Starting with the end of the last month that you were rst eligible to join a Medicare drug plan but didn’t join, if you go 63 continuous days or longer without prescription drug coverage that is creditable, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneciary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without creditable coverage, your premium for Medicare prescription drug coverage may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneciary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.
Remember: Keep this notice. If you enroll in one of the new plans approved by Medicare which o
er prescription drug coverage, you
may need to give a copy of this notice when you join to show that you are not required to pay a higher premium amount.
What Happens to Your Current Coverage if You Decide
to Join a Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and drop your prescription plan coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back. If you or a covered dependent decides to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and do not drop your prescription drug coverage under the High Deductible Health Plan, Medicare will be the secondary payor for prescription drug costs. In other words, eligible prescription drug claims will be paid under the High Deductible Health Plan rst. If there are prescription drug claims that are not covered or are only partially covered under the High Deductible Health Plan, Medicare may pay for eligible expenses that are not paid under the High Deductible Health Plan. If you decide to join a Medicare Drug Plan, your MV coverage will not be a ected.

prescription drug coverage

MARKETPLACE COVERAGE OPTIONS
New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage PART A: General Information
When key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and employment based health coverage offered by your employer.
What is the Health Insurance Marketplace?
The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers “one-stop shopping” to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins in October 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014.
Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace? You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn’t meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you’re eligible for depends on your household income.
Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer’s health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the “minimum value” standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.1
Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution -as well as your employee contribution to employeroffered coverage- is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-tax basis.
How Can I Get More Information?
For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or contact Jarrett Andrews, MV Transportation, 12711 N. Haskell Ave, Suite 1500, Dallas, TX 75204.
The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.
1 An employer-sponsored health plan meets the “minimum value standard” if the plan’s share of the total allowed benefit costs covered by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs.

Here is some basic information about health coverage o
ered by this employer:
• As your employer, we o
er a health plan to:
All employees. Eligible employees are:
You are eligible to participate in MV Transportation benet plans if you meet the eligibility requirements under the A ordable
Care Act, which is approximately working an average of 30 hours per week or more in a 12-month period unless otherwise provided by Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Some employees. Eligible employees are:
• With respect to dependents:
We do o
er coverage. Eligible dependents are:
Spouse, domestic partner, common-law spouse, and dependent child(ren).
We do not o
er coverage.
If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be a ordable, based on employee
wages.
** Even if your employer intends your coverage to be a
ordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. e Marketplace will use
your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
If you decide to shop for coverage in the Marketplace, HealthCare.gov will guide you through the process. Here’s the employer information you’ll enter when you visit HealthCare.gov to nd out if you can get a tax credit to lower your monthly premiums.
An employer-sponsored health plan meets the “minimum value standard” if the plan’s share of the total allowed benet costs covered by the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs (Section 36 B(c)(2)(C)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) 29 City Council/RSA Agenda 326 Tuesday, May 23, 2023

Re: Best and Final Offer for RFP 21-14 for Contracted Dumbarton Bridge Express Bus Services
Dear Steve Adams:
MV Transportation, Inc. and all subsidiaries, joint ventures, partnerships, and affiliates (or MV) greatly appreciate the opportunity to submit our Best and Final offer (BAFO) to the Dumbarton Bridge Regional Operations Consortium regarding its RFP for Contracted Dumbarton Bridge Express Bus Services. We are proud of our history of passenger transportation and are pleased to continue to offer quality service delivered by qualified and professional people for these operations. We are confident that our proposal offers the best value for the Consortium.
Please let me outline the changes in our BAFO compared to the pricing previously submitted with our proposal.
• The effective rate for workers' compensation was lowered in years 2-5 based on the history of lower claims at the division.
• Decreased the allocation of our General Manager and Maintenance Manager.
The following pages contain revised BAFO pricing for your consideration.
MV would also like to provide pricing effective when U-Line is added to the Service performed by MV. Given that the exact timing of adding U-Line is unknown and the impact is material to the overall solution, MV suggests we adopt the BAFO pricing with U-Line hours included when U-Line service begins. The BAFO pricing with U-Line considers the addition of the following personnel:
• 5 drivers and their training
• A part-time Road Supervisor (50%)
• A part-time B Tech (50%)
• A part-time Utility (25%)
By creating a second price page to go into effect when U-Line is operated by MV, DBX will benefit from greater leverage of resources resulting in a lower rate per hour.
City Council/RSA Agenda 330 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
750 MASON STREET | SUITE 105 | VACAVILLE, CA 95688
The following pages contain BAFO pricing with U-Line included.
Please note that MV did not adjust wages for the staff, vehicle operators, and maintenance personnel or costs associated with vehicle maintenance. MV intends to provide DBX with a competent solution that both parties feel confident of service delivery over the term of the Agreement. The confidence comes from paying our drivers, road supervisors, and mechanics a market wage and the ability to maintain an aging fleet.

City Council/RSA Agenda 335 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Agenda Item
DATE: 5/23/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARIO VALLEJO, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH TYLER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., TO BE THE NEW ENTERPRISE FINANCE SYSTEM, FOR A ONE-TIME IMPLEMENTATION COST OF $290,062.00, BRINGING THE TOTAL
CONTRACT COST TO $526,922.00, AND APPROVING A RECURRING ANNUAL SERVICE COST FOR THE ENTERPRISE FINANCE SYSTEM OF $118,708.00,
AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
Staff recommends that the City Counciladopt a Resolution to replace the current legacy Tyler Eden software with the cloud-hosted Tyler Munis Financials as its Enterprise Finance System, for a one-time implementation cost of $290,062.00, bringing the totalcontract cost with Tyler Technologies, Inc. to $526,922.00, and approving a recurring annual service cost for the Enterprise Finance System of $118,708.00, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the purchase agreement.
Tyler Technologies, Inc. is currently under contract with the City to upgrade the Human Resources and Payroll systems for the one-time cost of $236,860.00. Adoption of the Resolution would authorize an amendment to the contract to include the new Enterprise Finance System for a one-time cost of $290,062.00.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This upgrade supports Goal D.: Create a healthy, sustainable community and maintain and improve the City infrastructure.
BACKGROUND
The Finance, Human Resources, and Economic Development departments use Tyler Eden as their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. The City procured the Tyler Eden software on June 11, 2008. After 14 years, Tyler Technologies, Inc. has ceased to add new features and only provides security updates to the software. An end of support date has not been provided by the vendor, but staff has been informed that Tyler Technologies does plan to stop support in the next couple of years. The Eden software is hosted by the City on City-owned servers City Council/RSA Agenda 336 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
housed in the City Hall building.
The Finance software is made up of thirteen modules within the Tyler Eden ERP software stack. Current Finance tasks can be time consuming, paper intensive and involve manualeffort when using the older software. Tyler Eden reports are cumbersome to run and not easily manipulated. Integration with other software requires direct customization by Tyler and is cost prohibitive.
On June 14, 2022, as part of the proposed amendments to the FiscalYear 2022-2023 Biennial Budget, the City Councilauthorized the upgrade of the Tyler EDEN system to the Tyler Munis system for Finance, Human Resources (HR) and Payroll. The first agreement with Tyler Technologies, Inc. was approved by the City Council on October 11, 2022, and only included system upgrades for HR and Payroll. The proposed Tyler Munis Finance System will work in conjunction with the HR and Payroll systems and on the same SaaS ERP platform.
DISCUSSION
Tyler Technologies is a leader in the municipal government Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) space, with over 10,000 customers nationwide. Their Munis ERP is deployed by over 1,950 agencies, including over 130 California agencies. The Munis ERP is designed specifically for governments and integrates finance, purchasing, asset management, payroll, human resources, community development, project management, permitting, and land use management solutions. Tyler Munis is a modern cloud-based ERP that will provide gains in efficiency, allow for online and paperless processes, help identify trends from year to year, enable automated businesses workflows, and provide a public citizen portal.
As Eden and Munis are both Tyler products, moving from one Tyler platform to another will streamline certain elements of the implementation including data migration between the two systems. Additionally, this mitigates some concerns about overlapping timelines between two ERP systems. During the implementation, Tyler will only charge service fees for the new Munis Financials; and the City will maintain access to the old system for the duration of the agreement with Tyler.
Munis Financials is a true multi-fund accounting system, Munis provides rigorous fiscalcontrols to manage grants, track project costs, measure project performance against goals, and forecast budget needs. Munis also offers key flexibility such as the ability to customize the general ledger chart of accounts, set up role-based permissions, and create custom dashboard pages, workflows, and special reports.
The implementation of the Munis Financials will be an extensive project that will span twelve months. The Software as a Service (SaaS) Agreement with Tyler (Exhibit 2) outlines the three (3) year term with language to renew automatically for an additional one (1) year term unless terminated by either party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current renewal term.
The Sourcewell Contract (#090320-TTI) was used to obtain reduced contracted pricing. Staff and the City Attorney have examined the cooperative purchasing agreement and are satisfied that it meets the requirements of Government Code sections 6500, 6502 et. Al., and that allcompetitive bidding requirements have been met.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adoption of the resolution willauthorize an amendment to the existing contract for a not-to-exceed one-time implementation cost of $290,062.00 and the first year of the annual Software as a Service (SaaS) fee of $118,708.00. The cost will be paid from the IT Account No. 1110-1701-17001-54111.
As there are sufficient funds budgeted to cover the initial one-time payment and service fees, there will be no fiscal impact to the FY 2022-2023 Adopted Budget. The future recurring SaaS fees will be appropriated as part of the biennial budget process.

Part 1: Executive Summary
Project Overview
Introduction
Tyler Technologies (“Tyler”) is the largest and most established provider of integrated software and technology services focused solely on the public sector. Tyler’s end-to-end solutions empower public sector entities including local, state, provincial and federal government, to operate more efficiently and connect more transparently with their constituents and with each other. By connecting data and processes across disparate systems, Tyler’s solutions transform how clients gain actionable insights that solve problems in their communities.
Project Goals
This Statement of Work (“SOW”) documents the methodology, implementation stages, activities, and roles and responsibilities, and project scope listed in the Investment Summary of the Agreement between Tyler and the City (collectively the “Project”).
The overall goals of the project are to:
▪ Successfully implement the contracted scope on time and on budget ▪ Increase operational efficiencies and empower users to be more productive ▪ Improve accessibility and responsiveness to external and internal customer needs ▪ Overcome current challenges and meet future goals
Methodology
This is accomplished by the City and Tyler working as a partnership and Tyler utilizing its depth of implementation experience. While each Project is unique, all will follow Tyler’s six-stage methodology. Each of the six stages is comprised of multiple work packages, and each work package includes a narrative description, objectives, tasks, inputs, outputs/deliverables, assumptions, and a responsibility matrix.
Tailored specifically for Tyler’s public sector clients, the project methodology contains Stage Acceptance Control Points throughout each Phase to ensure adherence to scope, budget, timeline controls, effective communications, and quality standards. Clearly defined, the project methodology repeats consistently across Phases, and is scaled to meet the City’s complexity and organizational needs.
City Council/RSA Agenda 357 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Union City, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 2
The methodology adapts to both single-phase and multiple-phase projects.
To achieve Project success, it is imperative that both the City and Tyler commit to including the necessary leadership and governance. During each stage of the Project, it is expected that the City and Tyler Project teams work collaboratively to complete tasks. An underlying principle of Tyler’s Implementation process is to employ an iterative model where the City’s business processes are assessed, configured, validated, and refined cyclically in line with the project budget. This approach is used in multiple stages and work packages as illustrated in the graphic below.
The delivery approach is systematic, which reduces variability and mitigates risks to ensure Project success. As illustrated, some stages, along with work packages and tasks, are intended to be overlapping by nature to complete the Project efficiently and effectively.

Part 2: Project Foundation
Project Governance
Project governance is the management framework within which Project decisions are made. The role of Project governance is to provide a decision-making approach that is logical, robust, and repeatable. This allows organizations to have a structured approach for conducting its daily business in addition to project related activities.
This section outlines the resources required to meet the business needs, objectives, and priorities for the Project, communicate the goals to other Project participants, and provide support and guidance to accomplish these goals. Project governance defines the structure for escalation of issues and risks, Change Control review and authority, and Organizational Change Management activities. Throughout the Statement of Work Tyler has provided RACI Matrices for activities to be completed throughout the implementation which will further outline responsibilities of different roles in each stage. Further refinement of the governance structure, related processes, and specific roles and responsibilities occurs during the Initiate & Plan Stage.
The chart below illustrates an overall team perspective where Tyler and the City collaborate to resolve Project challenges according to defined escalation paths. If project managers do not possess authority to determine a solution, resolve an issue, or mitigate a risk, Tyler implementation management and the City Steering Committee become the escalation points to triage responses prior to escalation to the City and Tyler executive sponsors. As part of the escalation process, each Project governance tier presents recommendations and supporting information to facilitate knowledge transfer and issue resolution. The City and Tyler executive sponsors serve as the final escalation point.

Project Scope Control
Managing Scope and Project Change
Project Management governance principles contend that there are three connected constraints on a Project:
budget, timeline, and scope. These constraints, known as the “triple constraints” or project management triangle, define budget in terms of financial cost, labor costs, and other resource costs. Scope is defined as the work performed to deliver a product, service or result with the specified features and functions, while time is simply defined as the schedule. The Triple Constraint theory states that if you change one side of the triangle, the other two sides must be correspondingly adjusted. For example, if the scope of the Project is increased, cost and time to complete will also need to increase. The Project and executive teams will need to remain cognizant of these constraints when making impactful decisions to the Project. A simple illustration of this triangle is included here, showing the connection of each item and their relational impact to the overall Scope.
A pillar of any successful project is the ability to properly manage scope while allowing the appropriate level of flexibility to incorporate approved changes. Scope and changes within the project will be managed using the change control process outlined in the following section.
Change Control
It may become necessary to change the scope of this Project due to unforeseeable circumstances (e.g., new constraints or opportunities are discovered). This Project is being undertaken with the understanding that Project scope, schedule, and/or cost may need to change to produce optimal results for stakeholders.
Changes to contractual requirements will follow the change control process specified in the final contract, and as described below.
Change Request Management
Should the need for a change to Project scope, schedule, and/or cost be identified during the Project, the change will be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee and an assessment of the change will occur. While such changes may result in additional costs and delays relative to the schedule, some changes may result in less cost to the City; for example, the City may decide it no longer needs a deliverable originally defined in the Project. The Change Request will include the following information:
City Council/RSA Agenda 360 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Union City, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 5
▪ The nature of the change.
▪ A good faith estimate of the additional cost or associated savings to the City, if any. ▪ The timetable for implementing the change.
▪ The effect on and/or risk to the schedule, resource needs or resource responsibilities.
The City will use its good faith efforts to either approve or disapprove any Change Request within ten (10) Business Days (or other period as mutually agreeable between Tyler and the City). Any changes to the Project scope, budget, or timeline must be documented and approved in writing using a Change Request form. These changes constitute a formal amendment to the Statement of Work and will supersede any conflicting term in the Statement of Work.
City Council/RSA Agenda 361 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Union City, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 6
Acceptance Process
The implementation of a Project involves many decisions to be made throughout its lifecycle. Decisions will vary from higher level strategy decisions to smaller, detailed Project level decisions. It is critical to the success of the Project that each City office or department designates specific individuals for making decisions on behalf of their offices or departments.
Both Tyler and the City will identify representative project managers. These individuals will represent the interests of all stakeholders and serve as the primary contacts between the two organizations.
The coordination of gaining City feedback and approval on Project deliverables will be critical to the success of the Project. The City project manager will strive to gain deliverable and decision approvals from all authorized City representatives. Given that the designated decision-maker for each department may not always be available, there must be a designated proxy for each decision point in the Project. Assignment of each proxy will be the responsibility of the leadership from each City department. The proxies will be named individuals that have the authorization to make decisions on behalf of their department.
The following process will be used for accepting Deliverables and Control Points:
▪ The City shall have five (5) business days from the date of delivery, or as otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing, to accept each Deliverable or Control Point. If the City does not provide acceptance or acknowledgement within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
▪ If the City does not agree the Deliverable or Control Point meets requirements, the City shall notify Tyler project manager(s), in writing, with reasoning within five (5) business days, or the otherwise agreed-upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, of receipt of the Deliverable. ▪ Tyler shall address any deficiencies and redeliver the Deliverable or Control Point. The City shall then have two (2) business days from receipt of the redelivered Deliverable or Control Point to accept or again submit written notification of reasons for rejecting the milestone. If the City does not provide acceptance within two (2) business days, or the otherwise agreed upon timeframe, not to be unreasonably withheld, Tyler deems the Deliverable or Control Point as accepted.
Roles and Responsibilities
The following defines the roles and responsibilities of each Project resource for the City and Tyler. Roles and responsibilities may not follow the organizational chart or position descriptions at the City, but are roles defined within the Project. It is common for individual resources on both the Tyler and City project teams to fill multiple roles. Similarly, it is common for some roles to be filled by multiple people.
Tyler Roles & Responsibilities
Tyler assigns a project manager prior to the start of each Phase of the Project (some Projects may only be one Phase in duration). Additional Tyler resources are assigned as the schedule develops and as needs arise.

Current & Future State Analysis
The Current & Future State Analysis provides the Project stakeholders and Tyler an understanding of process changes that will be achieved with the new system.
The City and Tyler will evaluate current state processes, options within the new software, pros and cons of each based on current or desired state and make decisions about the future state configuration and processing. This may occur before or within the same timeframe as the configuration work package. The options within the new software will be limited to the scope of this implementation and will make use of standard Tyler functionality.
The City will adopt the existing Tyler solution wherever possible to avoid project schedule and quality risk from over customization of Tyler products. It is the City’s responsibility to verify that in-scope requirements are being met throughout the implementation if functional requirements are defined as part of the contract.
The following guidelines will be followed when evaluating if a modification to the product is required:
▪ A reasonable business process change is available.
▪ Functionality exists which satisfies the requirement. ▪ Configuration of the application satisfies the requirement. ▪ An in-scope modification satisfies the requirement.
Requirements that are not met will follow the agreed upon change control process and can have impacts on the project schedule, scope, budget, and resource availability.

Work package assumptions:
▪ City attendees possess sufficient knowledge and authority to make future state decisions. ▪ The City is responsible for any documentation of current state business processes. ▪ The City can effectively communicate current state processes.
Conversion Assessment
Data Conversions are a major effort in any software implementation. Tyler’s conversion tools facilitate the predictable, repeatable conversion process that is necessary to support a successful transition to the Tyler system. The first step in this process is to perform an assessment of the existing (“legacy”) system(s), to better understand the source data, risks, and options available. Once the data has been analyzed, the plan for data conversion is completed and communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
Objectives:
▪ Communicate a common understanding of the project goals with respect to data. ▪ Ensure complete and accurate source data is available for review/transfer. ▪ If source data is a Tyler legacy system, Tyler performs the data mappings. If source data is from a third-party, client is responsible for mapping the data from the source to the Tyler system. ▪ Document the data conversion/loading approach.

General Assumptions
Tyler and the City will use this SOW as a guide for managing the implementation of the Tyler Project as provided and described in the Agreement. There are a few assumptions which, when acknowledged and adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should be considered throughout the overall implementation process.
Project
▪ Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. ▪ The City Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually agreed upon timeframe to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project Schedule. ▪ Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time. ▪ Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process. ▪ Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
▪ Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, the City is responsible for making decisions based on the options available.
▪ Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and technical, requiring the City to make process changes.
▪ The City is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies that result from any business process changes.
Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City is responsible for managing Organizational Change. Impacted City resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their leadership team to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An important part of change is ensuring that impacted City resources understand the value of the change, and why they are being asked to change.
City Council/RSA Agenda 393 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Union City, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 38
Resources and Scheduling
▪ City resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project Schedule. ▪ The City team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
▪ Tyler and the City will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
▪ Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required work as scheduled.
▪ Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be assessed and documented as part of the change control process. ▪ The City will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability, change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
▪ The City makes timely Project related decisions to achieve scheduled due dates on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as each analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions. ▪ The City will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
▪ The City will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate system connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
▪ For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the employee.
Data
▪ Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist. ▪ The City is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing erroneous legacy data.
▪ Tyler will work closely with the City representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion. The City must confirm that all known data mapping from source to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion. ▪ All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
▪ Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single approved file layout.
▪ The City will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each iteration unless changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the schedule, budget and resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be incorrect. ▪ The City Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
▪ The City is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
City Council/RSA Agenda 394 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Union City, CA
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 39
Facilities
▪ The City will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
▪ The City will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction.

City Council/RSA Agenda 402 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
Agenda Item
DATE: 5/23/2023
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: LISAACHEN, INTERIM HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE AND ANNUALLY RENEW AN AGREEMENT WITH CONCERN
HEALTH FOR EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (EAP) SERVICES IN
A FORM APPROVED BY THE CITYATTORNEY
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Concern for Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services for a two-year term in a not-toexceed annual amount of $9,580 per year, and authorizing annual renewals, in a form approved by the City Attorney. The Concern EAP agreement will replace the agreement with MHN to provide confidential EAP services to City employees.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This health benefit supports Goal B. Governance and Organization Effectiveness of the strategic plan in aligning the provision of a commitment to local government best practices and employee development, support, and retention.
BACKGROUND
As part of the City’s robust health benefit package, a confidential Employee Assistance Program is offered to employees and their family members. Statistics show that Employee Assistance Programs help people achieve better emotionaland physical wellbeing so they can stay healthy and perform better at work.
The City has been in contract with MHN, an EAP provider, during the 2022/2023 fiscal year at a cost of $7,207 per year. MHN notified the City in March that they would no longer be offering EAP services after June 30, 2023.
Shortly after notification, the City contacted its Benefits Broker, Newfront, to search the market for potential providers. Of the five (5) providers contacted, the Human Resources Department, in consult with Newfront City Council/RSA Agenda 403 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
representatives, determined there were four viable options for the City to consider:
Carrier Response
Canopy Health Quoted
Concern EAP Quoted – Presented
ComPsych Did Not Quote – Unable to provide 6 sessions
Magellan Quoted
Uprise Health Quoted – Presented
DISCUSSION
Canopy Health proposed a 3-year rate guarantee which ranged from $6,996 - $9,240/year. The benefit use was limited to only 3 visits every 6 months.
Magellan proposed a 2-year rate guarantee ranging from $13,966 - $15,655/year. The cost of Magellan was much higher than the competitors while offering very similar overall services.
Concern proposed a 2-year rate guarantee at $9,580/year.
Uprise Health proposed a 3-year rate guarantee ranging from $9,000 - $11,300/year.
Staff requested to interview Concern and Uprise Health. Both Concern and Uprise Health offered a detailed overview of the services they provide which were very comparable to those the City receives currently through MHN. However, during the presentation, staff felt the customer service and personal touch was stronger through Concern. In addition, the City’s broker, Newfront, utilizes Concern inhouse and spoke very highly of their services, responsiveness, and follow-through.
The proposed resolution authorizes a two-year agreement in the not-to-exceed amount of $9,580 per fiscal year and also authorizes the City Manager to annually renew the agreement in a mutually agreed upon amount and mutually agreed upon terms provided that the City Council has provided the necessary budget appropriation for the renewal.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $9,580 annualcost of this service agreement was added to the recommended biennial budget process. The annual increase to the Human Resources budget will be $2,373.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Concern Health for a two-year period in a not-to-exceed amount of $9,580 per year and authorizing annual renewals in a form approved by the City Attorney.

TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: KRISTOPHER J. KOKOTAYLO, CITYATTORNEY
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF UNION CITY
AMENDING THE PREVIOUSLYADOPTED COUNCIL NORMS
The City Council has existing Council Norms that were first adopted in January 2021 to help the City Council operate most effectively as a policy group. The City Council has periodically had reason to revisit the Council Norms. Recently, the Legislation & Policy Committee (the “Committee”) had occasion to revisit the Council Norms and recommends a revision regarding how the Council should handle absences. Pursuant to the Committee’s direction, staff has prepared a resolution amending the previously adopted Council Norms.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item relates to Goal B. Governance and Organization Effectiveness of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND
Earlier this year the City Council was required to cancela meeting due to Councilmember absences resulting in a lack of quorum, a. Recognizing that attendance and participation at City Council meetings is highly important in proceeding with City business, the Committee reviewed options to establish rules and guidelines regarding Councilmember attendance and absences.
The Committee held multiple discussions related to updating the Council Norms to establish these rules and guidelines. The Committee then directed staff to prepare a resolution amending the current Council Norms.
DISCUSSION
The proposed resolution, as recommended by the Committee, amends the current Council Norms to provide the following:
- provide that members of the City Councilendeavor to miss no more than two regular meetings per calendar year absent extraordinary circumstances;
- provide that members of the City Council provide a minimum of sixty (60) days’ notice to the City Council City Council/RSA Agenda 407 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
of any planned absences during the Good of the Order or Items Referred by Council portion of the City Councilagenda, as appropriate.
The Committee discussion focused on the opportunity for the members of the City Council to coordinate absences to be least disruptive to City business. The rationale from the Committee was that this would allow the City Counciland staff to plan accordingly for any absences.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Counciladopt a resolution amending the previously adopted Council Norms.

SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO DISSOLVE THE CURRENT ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY TEAM (EDAT) AND RECONSTITUTE EDAT
TO UPDATE ITS MISSION, PURPOSE AND MEMBERSHIP
Staff recommends that the City Counciladopt a resolution to dissolve the current Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT) and reconstitute EDAT to update its mission, purpose, and membership.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This item relates to Goal C. Economic, Community Development and Public Safety of the Strategic Plan.
BACKGROUND
In 2010, the City of Union City (the “City”) formed the Economic Development Advisory Team (“EDAT”) with specific objectives to create a business attraction program and branding for the City’s economic development efforts. Since that time, the operations of the EDAT have evolved and now encompass a wide variety of economic development issues not originally contemplated, making the enabling resolution outdated and inconsistent. Additionally, at a recent City Council meeting, Councilmember Patiño requested the Council consider increasing the number of Councilmembers serving on EDAT from one to two.
On May 9, 2023, the Legislation & Policy Committee (the “Committee”) received a report from staff regarding EDAT’s membership and purpose. A copy of the report is attached. After discussion and deliberation, the Committee considered the option of updating the membership structure and role of EDAT and directed staff to prepare a resolution dissolving the current EDAT and reconstituting EDAT to update its mission, purpose and membership for the City Council’s consideration.
DISCUSSION
Consistent with the Committee’s recommendation, staff prepared a resolution to dissolve the current EDAT and reconstitute EDAT to update its mission, purpose and membership.
Current EDAT
City Council/RSA Agenda 411 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
As noted above, EDAT, under the existing enabling resolution, is tasked with creating implementation strategies to develop a business attraction program, including a Technology Business Incubator. The original membership is reflected below.
Initial EDAT Members Number
City Councilmember 1
Planning Commissioner 1
Businesses 5
Citizens 2 to 3
Investment Firms 2
Industry Orgs/Consultant 2
Chamber of Commerce 1
The City Manager or designee was authorized to appointment replacement members in the event of a vacancy.
Proposed Makeup and Purpose
The proposed resolution: 1) dissolves EDAT as it is currently constituted; and 2) reconstitutes EDAT with a revised membership and purpose. EDAT’s purpose will now be to advise the City Council on factors affecting businesses and the economic health of the community in Union City including, but not limited to, business retention, business attraction, business development, City initiatives, and other factors.
The current membership of EDAT will be dissolved and the membership of EDAT will be revised as follows:
Proposed EDAT Members Number
City Councilmember 2
Planning Commissioner 1
Businesses 1
Residents 2
Chamber of Commerce 1
Under the proposed resolution, one Councilmember would be appointed as the Chair with the other Councilmember appointed as the Vice Chair. The Planning Commissioner member would serve as Chair when both Councilmembers are unable to conduct the meeting. Additionally, the EDAT is proposed to meet at least quarterly, calling special meetings when needed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed resolution will have little to no fiscal impact on the City as the resolution reconstitutes an already existing committee.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Counciladopt a resolution to dissolve the current Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT) and reconstitute EDAT to update its mission, purpose, and membership.

WHEREAS, on June 14, 2010, City Council formed the Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT), a standing committee, as identified in the General Plan (CC Resolution No. 4044-10) and directed staff to proceed with the establishment of EDAT and its membership, which was based on the goals and policies of the 2002 General Plan Update; and WHEREAS, EDAT’s initial Council-authorized purpose was to recommend implementation strategies to achieve specific objectives, including a Business Attraction Program, a Technology Business Incubator, and branding the City’s Economic Development Image; and
WHEREAS, the EDAT membership provided a broad cross section intended to support the outlined strategies and objectives to achieve the City’s economic development goals. The initial membership included five businesses, two investment firms, two industry organizations/consultants, one City Councilmember, one Chamber of Commerce representative, one Planning Commissioner, and two to three Union City residents for a total of 14 to 15 members; and
WHEREAS, since its formation the City Council adopted: 1) the first Economic Development Strategic Plan in 2015, which was updated in 2018; and 2) the City Council Strategic Plan FY 2019-2020 through FY 2024-2025, which included additional economic development strategies; and
WHEREAS, EDAT’s purpose has expanded beyond the initial economic development goals and policies in 2002 General Plan Update, and the initial membership profile is no longer relevant to ensure consistent and value-added stakeholder participation; and the Legislation & Policy Committee considered EDAT’s current purpose and membership and recommends dissolving and reconstituting the purpose and membership of EDAT.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby dissolves EDAT, as currently constituted.

TO: Legislation & Policy Committee – Mayor Carol Dutra-Vernaci & Vice Mayor Gary Singh FROM: Joan Malloy, City Manager
SUBJECT: Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT) Organization
SUMMARY
The Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT) was formed in 2010 with specific objectives to create a business attraction program, such as a Technology Business Incubator, and develop branding for the City’s economic development efforts. Since that time, the topics that EDAT has addressed have grown along with the City’s economic development program. EDAT now discusses a broad range of economic development issues and relies on a core membership to provide feedback and make recommendations to the City Council. The enabling resolution of EDAT did not anticipate the evolving role of the committee, and staff is requesting that the Legislation and Policy Committee consider revising EDAT’s organizational structure to better meet the needs of the City’s economic development program.
Coincidentally, at a recent City Council meeting, Councilmember Jaime Patiño requested that the Council consider expanding the number of Councilmembers appointed to EDAT from one to two. Councilmember Patiño stated that he thought having another Councilmember on EDAT would provide more continuity as Council assignments may change over time.
BACKGROUND
At the September 14, 2010, City Council meeting, the Council adopted Resolution No. 4044-10 (attached) to create an Economic Development Advisory Team (EDAT) as suggested in 2020 General Plan policies. The City Council directed staff to proceed with the creation of EDAT to support the City’s economic objectives. Those objectives included:
- To grow the City’s diverse and vital mix of businesses. - Ensuring future development advances the City's economic development vision. - Enhancing Union City's workability and livability for a range of residents. - To promote the City's image and identity by developing a Union City brand.
As noted, EDAT’s initial task was to create implementation strategies to develop a business attraction program, including a Technology Business Incubator. The original membership adopted by the Council reflected that task, including nine members that represented businesses, investment firms, and industry organizations.
Initial EDAT Members Number
City Councilmember 1
Planning Commissioner 1
Businesses 5
Citizens 2 to 3
Investment Firms 2
Industry Organizations/Consultants 2
Chamber of Commerce 1
City Council/RSA Agenda 417 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
2 The City Manager or his designee was authorized to appointment replacement members in the event of a vacancy.
DISCUSSION
EDAT’s role has expanded and shifted beyond the initial economic development goals and programs that were identified in 2010; and, therefore, the purpose and membership of EDAT should be updated. Additionally, EDAT’s initial business membership has dwindled. Unless an agenda topic directly impacted their interests, it is difficult to engage such a large group of business and industry representatives on a regular basis.
Staff suggests that the EDAT membership be reduced to key members and that staff engage business leaders as needed to address specific economic development topics. Business stakeholders can be invited to provide knowledge and insights to topic-focused discussions. These stakeholders could include businesses, industry experts, consultants, and others.
To have steadfast representation, staff suggests reducing the number of appointed members to those who will likely participate consistently. Staff suggests the following:
Councilmember Patiño requested that an additional Councilmember be considered for an EDAT appointment, increasing the current number from one to two.
Appointing EDAT Members
The EDAT enabling resolution authorizes the City Manager to appoint replacement members in the event of a vacancy.
The resolution also identifies the City Manager as the Chair. This organization infers that perhaps the original formation of the Committee was not intended to be ongoing year over year. The EDAT resolution should be updated to clarify appoints are made by the Mayor and affirmed by the City Council, and that the appointed Councilmember should serve as the Chair.
Staff works with the EDAT Chairperson to plan agendas and advance EDAT recommendations to the City Council. As approved by the City Council, EDAT meets quarterly. EDAT shall continue to comply with all Brown Act requirements as a standing committee.
NEXT STEPS
The current membership structure and operation of EDAT are inconsistent with its enabling resolution and should be updated. Based on the recommendations of the Legislation and Policy Committee, staff will prepare the appropriate staff report and resolution for the City Council’s consideration.

GRANT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000, FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION, TO SUPPORT THE DEPLOYMENT AND ADOPTION OF THE SOLARPAPP+ PLATFORM, AND AMENDING THE FY2022-2023 IT GRANTS
FUND BUDGET
The City was awarded $60,000.00 in state grant funding administered through the California Energy Commission as part of the California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program to deploy and adopt the solar automated plan review software, SolarAPP+. Staff recommends the City Counciladopt a resolution accepting the CalAPP grant funds, amending the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 IT Grants Fund budget and authorizing the City Manager to execute the necessary grant documents in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This agenda item is in alignment with the following:
Goal C, Strategy 15: Continue to review development permitting processes to streamline service and improve efficiency and develop a communication plan to disseminate modifications to staff and customers.
BACKGROUND
On September 16, 2022, Senate Bill No. 379 (Wiener, 2022) was passed which requires most California cities and counties to implement an online, automated permitting platform for residential solar photovoltaic systems that verifies code compliance and issues permits in real time. The City, with a population of greater than 50,000, must satisfy the senate bill requirements by September 30, 2023.
On April 5, 2023, staff submitted a grant application form requesting the allocation of eligible grant funds to reimburse the City for costs associated with the adoption and maintenance of the SolarAPP+ platform. On May 4, 2023, the City was awarded $60,000.00 in grant funding, subject to CalAPP terms and pursuant to the Grant Allocation Agreement (Agreement). The Agreement is between CalAPP and the City and includes the terms and conditions of the grant funding as wellas mandatory state requirements for disbursement of the grant funds.
City Council/RSA Agenda 419 Tuesday, May 23, 2023
DISCUSSION
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) worked with local governments, the solar community, and environmental organizations to build the online permitting platform, SolarApp+, to automate rooftop solar plan review and produce compliant approvals instantly. SolarAPP+ allows online collection of permit fees; uses standardized compliance checks to catch typos, and errors; returns corrections to the applicant instantly; provides installation permit approvals for eligible, cookie-cutter rooftop solar applications, while ineligible projects flow through a typical permitting review; and produces an inspection checklist replicating the application details for inspectors to utilize and confirm.
The CalAPP grant funds will provide reimbursement for ongoing staff labor costs, third-party or consultant time, and staff training and education associated directly with the adoption and maintenance of the SolarAPP+ platform.
The City will be reimbursed for essential hardware or equipment necessary to support adoption of the platform.
Additionally, maintenance, such as adding support for energy storage paired with solar energy permitting or subscription costs for permit tracking software in support of the adopted permitting platform is reimbursable.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. The CalAPP grant funding of $60,000.00 will be accounted for in Fund 2790 – IT Grants Fund. No matching funds are required by the City for receipt of these grant funds.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Counciladopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the acceptance of a California Automated Permit Processing (CalAPP) Program Grant, in the amount of $60,000, from California Energy Commission, to support the deployment and adoption of the SolarApp+ Platform; and
2. Amending the FY 2022-2023 IT Grants Fund budget by increasing the revenue projection in Account Number 2790-41260-44171 (IT Grants Fund – CalAPP Grant – Miscellaneous State Grants) by $60,000.00; and
3. Amending the FY 2022-2023 IT Grants Fund budget by appropriating $60,000.00 to Account Number 2790-1701-41260-54111 (IT Grants Fund – IT – CalAPP Grant – Contractual Services); and
4. Authorizing the City Manager, or her designee, to execute any and all agreements necessary to accept the grant, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and take any other such action as is necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
