MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN TAE
CITY OF SAINT PAUL
AND
FIRE FIGFITERS, Local 21
The City of Saint Paul (hereinafter "City"} and Fire Fighters, Loca121 (hereinafter
"Union") agree to the terms of the following Memorandum of Agreement (hereinafter
"MOA").
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.
Far 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 of benefits, the selection of plans to be offered in subsequent years,
nor sha11 in any way be construed as a form of negotiation.
Since the parties have not been able to reach agreement regarding 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 LMCHP 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
sha11 only apply for the length of the current collective bazgaimng agreement.
The parties also agree that the High Deductible P1an will not be considered one of the
"two low-cost plans" which receive additional contributions for single health insurance.
Although the Parties have now agreed to the dollaz amount of the Employer contributions
for the length of the 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 tl�at the adjustments to the formula for the City's
contribution for health insurance will be subject to bargaining for the successor to the
existing collective bazgaining agreement. The parties further agree that neither the
existence 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 insarance
contribution beyond the current collective bargaining agreement. Neither party has
conceded an advantage in future bargaining to the other regarding the negotiarion of
future City contributions to health insurance.

. The Union agrees to waive any and ali rights to file a grievance or court action regarding
this change in health insurance plans or the aggregate value of the benefits provided by
