Title

Substitute resolution authorizing the Department of Employee Relations to provide health insurance benefits to the surviving spouse of any police officer killed in the line of duty after June 12, 1979, and prior to January 1, 1985, through age 65.

Analysis

This substitute resolution authorizes the Department of Employee Relations to provide health insurance benefits to the surviving spouse of any police officer killed in the line of duty after June 12, 1979, and prior to January 1, 1985, through age 65.

Body

Whereas, Common Council File Number 78-1687, adopted June 12, 1979, limits health insurance benefits for surviving spouses; and

Whereas, Certain labor agreements effective January 1, 1985 to the present date provide health insurance benefits for surviving spouses up to age 65; and

Whereas, This Common Council wishes to extend health insurance benefits to the surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty between June 12, 1979, and January 1, 1985, upon the same terms and conditions; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty between June 12, 1979, and January 1, 1985, shall be eligible for health insurance coverage upon the same terms and conditions as general city retirees, including termination of coverage at age 65 and payment by the surviving spouse of the required share of the cost of the premium for such coverage; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Common Council authorizes the Department of Employee Relations and Employee Retirement System to coordinate the providing of health insurance benefits to surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty between June 12, 1979, and January 1, 1985; and, be it

Further Resolved, That Common Council Resolution No. 78-1687, except to the extent specifically amended by this resolution, to provide health insurance benefits to the surviving spouses of police officers killed in the line of duty between June 12, 1979, and January 1, 1985, shall remain in full force and effect; and, be it

Further Resolved, That this resolution shall not be interpreted nor applied in such a way as to provide any retroactive health insurance benefits prior to the effective date of this resolution, or to provide any reimbursements for health insurance benefits with respect to which any surviving spouses have previously paid premium charges.
