RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/176, approving the Side Letters between Contra Costa County and the Deputy Sheriffs Association (DSA), Rank and File and Management Units, to amend the Memoranda of Understanding to accurately reflect the method of calculating the employer contribution for retiree medical coverage for employees hired between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Administrative action, to correct long-term misalignment between memoranda of understanding and CalPERS Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act (PEMHCA) resolution.

BACKGROUND:

A recent retirement by an individual employee, hired specifically between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011, brought to light a misalignment between the County's negotiated agreements with DSA regarding retiree healthcare subsidies and adopted CalPERS PEMHCA resolutions. For employees hired between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011, the County did not correctly file a modification to its PEMHCA resolution. CalPERS/PEMHCA does not allow retroactive adjustments. This action is an administrative correction to the misalignment and impacts only those employees hired between January 2, 2007 and October 1, 2011 who retire from Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the side letters are not approved, this misalignment will not be corrected.
