Odio DATE : June 16, 1994 City Manager SUBJECT : Group Health Insurance 1 For City Board Members FROM : REFERENCES: amen , Director Direc o FirerRescue ENCLOSURES: I i i j Per your request, please find attached a breakdown of the Health Insurance provided by the City of Miami to the City Board Members and the mechanism by which it is paid, If "Employee" is the status designation, then the payment is via normal payroll deduction with employee/city contributions. If the status designation is "Appointee", then the Board Member is paying a share equal to a general employee receiving the same benefit with the City paying the balance as in an active employee. If the status designation is "Retiree", the Board Member is rehired by -the City and shares in the cost the same as an appointee (Mr. Peter Joffre on the General Pension Board is the only individual in this category). The other individual with the designation of "Retiree" is Mr. George Adams of the Civil Service Board. Mr. Adams' insurance is paid entirely by the City per the attached two November 12, 1986 memos from Donald Dunlap to Assistant Finance Director Gary Houck and then Labor Relations Officer, Dean Mielke. The dollar amounts quoted in those two memos has been adjusted upward to reflect cost increases. In conjunction with above information, the following is in response to Mayor Clark's June 8, 1994, memo to you reference medical insurance for Code Enforcement Board Attorney, Armando Bucelo, Jr., (copy attached). Chief Rollason spoke with Mr. Bucelo on June 15th to get an understanding of Mr. Bucelo's position. Per Mr. Bucelo, at the time of his hire, then City Attorney Jorge Fernandez verbally committed to a pay package with increases along with Health Insurance for him and his family; he has nothing in writing outlining these stipulations. Chief Rollason explained to him that the Code Enforcement Board is not one of the City Boards authorized such an entitlement and that for the City to provide the Health Benefit requested some form of Commission/Administrative action had to take place.
