Section 1.
A. Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance:
Effective October 1, 2015, the sole medical benefit plan available to employees is a High

HDHP medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums shall be paid for all bargaining unit
members while employed by the City. The members will pay the full cost of HDHP medical,
dental, and vision insurance for their dependents. The Cit, Commission, through the
Annual Budget process, may appropriate funds to subsidize the employees' premium costs
for employees who cover dependent children on their medical plan. Any subsidy offered
does not extend beyond the plan year for which it is budgeted, and the offering of and /or
amount of any such subsidy is not subject to negotiation.
Types of coverage currently in effect during a plan year shall not be reduced during that
plan year. All policies shall be reviewed annually and modifications to the insurance plans
may be made which benefit both the City and the Union. The City will provide a minimum
of thirty (30) days' notice if it intends to exercise its right to re -open this section for
negotiation.
ty IAFF
Final TA 1AFF Reopened Articles — 2017 -12 -13
Plan Year Three: October 1, 2017 - September 30, 2018
B. HSA Contributions:
The City will contribute an annualized total of one thousand dollars ($1000.00) into an
employee's Health Savings Account (HSA) on the first full pay check date following January
1, 2018 or ratification by the Union, whichever is later. This amount will be renegotiated
each contract year.
i. In order to be eligible for the HSA deposit above, an employee must be
actively employed on the check date in Section B. of this Article.
C. Leave Time Conversion to HSA:
The City will provide opportunities to convert an annualized total of up to one thousand
dollars ($1000.00), after pension deduction, of any combination of sick and vacation time
at the 100% conversion rate to help fund their HSA. This provision will be negotiated each
contract year. For Plan Year One, this conversion can be done at the following times:
i. January 1, 2018 - January 31, 2018 (any amount up to an annualized
total of $1000.00)
ii. April 1, 2018 - April 30, 2018 (any amount up to an annualized total
of $1000.00).
iii. For purposes of this Article, "annualized" means plan year /contract

ity IAFF
Final TA 1AFF Reopened Articles — 2017 -12 -13
($83.33) per active month of service for the City to deposit into their HSA through
September 2018. This initial deposit will be made the first check of the month in which the
member becomes enrolled in the City's group medical insurance. This provision will be
negotiated each contract year.
E. Bargain for More Economical Coverage:
If the Union determines that it can provide more economical coverage than the City's
principal medical insurance, the Union may bargain for a dollar amount per bargaining unit
member to be applied to insurance secured through the Union. If the Union intends to
exercise this option, the Union will provide written notice to the City Manager no later than
February 15, 2016. The City and the Union will meet within twenty (20) days of receipt of
the Union's notice to bargain this section of the Article.
The City and the Union agree that negotiations regarding this Section must be concluded by
May 20, 2016, with the result being either the Union's acceptance of a dollar amount in
exchange for the Union exiting the City's group medical insurance plan, or the Union's
rejection of a dollar amount and agreement to stay on the City's selected group medical
insurance plan for Plan Year Two.
Section 2 . Life Insurance Members of the bargaining unit shall be provided with a
$35,000 term life and accidental death policy with the premium paid by the City.
Section 3. Fiscal Responsibility Both the City and the Union understand that the costs
associated with providing additional benefits for employees have significantly increased
over the past several years. It is the intent of the City and the Union to work together in
order to find acceptable ways to reduce the City's expenses associated with providing
ty IAFF
Final TA IAFF Reopened Articles — 2017 -12 -13
additional benefits for employees.
Section 4. The City agrees, that for a full -time firefighter who is killed in the line of duty
as per F.S.S. 112.191 (2)(0, as amended from time to time, or suffers a catastrophic injury,
as defined in F.S.S. 440.02(37), as amended from time to time, and provided for in F.S.S.

for in F.S.S. 112.18, as amended from time to time, the City shall pay the entire premium for
the employer's health insurance plan for the injured employee, the injured employee's
spouse, and for each dependent child of the injured employee until the child reaches the
age of majority or until the end of the calendar year in which the child reaches the age of 26
if the child continues to he dependent for support, or the child is a full -time or part -time
student and is dependent for support. The term "health insurance plan" does not include
supplemental benefits that are not part of the basic group health insurance plan. If the
injured employee subsequently dies, the employer shall continue to pay the entire health
insurance premium for the surviving spouse until remarried, and for the dependent
children under the conditions outlined in this paragraph.
