• MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE
CITY OF SAINT PAUL
AND
SAINT PAUL SUPERVISORS ORGANIZATION
The City of Saint Paul (hereinafter "City") and Saint Paul Supervisors Organization
(hereinafter "Union") agree to the tern�s ofthe following Memorandum ofAgreement
(hereina$er "iV10A").
The City and Union have actively engaged in a mutually beneficial exchange of
information and ideas on a"meet and confer" basis at Labor-Management Committee for
Health Insurance (hereinafter "LMCHI") meetings.
For 2006, the LMCHI recommended the elimination of one traditional health insurance
plan and the adoption of a high deductible plan. The LMCHI's recommendation does not
equate to a selection ofbenefits, the selection ofplans to be offered in subsequent yeazs,
nor shall in any way be construed as a form of negotiation.
. Since the parties have not been able to reach agreement regazding the impact of this
recommendation on the contract language for single health insurance stating, "the
average increase to the single insurance premium of all plans for 2006," and the contract
language for family health insurance stating, "the average premium of all plans per
month," the parties agree that the LMCHI's recommendation to continue the four current
plans plus adopt a High Deductible Plan, will mean that the averaging language in the
contracts will not include the premium for the High Deductible Plan, This interpretation
shall only apply for the lena h of the current collective bazgaining agreement.
The parties also agree that the High Deductible Plan will not be considered one of the
`Ywo low-cost plans" which receive additional contnbutions for single heakh insurance.
Although the Parties have now agreed to the dollar amount of the Employer contributions
for the length ofthe current collective bargaining agreement, the Parties have not
presently agreed upon an adjustment to the formula for the City's contribution to health
insurance. However, the parties agree that the adjustxnents to the formula for the City's
contnbution for health insurance will be subject to bargaining for the successor to the
e�sting collective barganvng agreement. The parties further agree that neither the
e�stence nor the terms of this MOA shall create or constitute the presumption that the
Union has accepted the continuation of the current percentage of City health insurance
contnbution beyond the current collective bargaining agreement. Neither party has
conceded an advantage in future barganung to the other regazding the negotiation of
future City contributions to health insurance.
.
�� ��
• The Union agrees to waive any and all rights to file a grievance or court action regazding
this change in health insurance plans or the aggregate value of the benefits provided by
the heakh insurance plans recommended by the LMCHI for 2006 health insurance.
