RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/586 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the Deputy District Attorneys’ Association (DDAA) regarding a voluntary vision plan and health spending account.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Enrollment in these benefit plans is voluntary. The costs of the benefits are employee paid.
BACKGROUND:
This Side Letter arises out of recommendations from the Joint Labor/Management Benefits Committee (“JLMBC”) following its discussions about future medical, dental and vision plan design. The recommendations were that active employees have the option to participate in a voluntary vision plan and a health savings account. The County determined that these were constructive suggestions from the JLMBC that warranted pursuing with individual employee organizations, such as DDAA. As a result, the County and DDAA agree that during open enrollment for the 2017 plan year the County will offer active employees, except those who are temporary or permanent-intermittent, the option of enrolling in an employee paid vision plan and an employee-funded health savings account pursuant to the terms detailed in the side letter.
