Title
Resolution relating to the plan design of the City’s health care coverage plans and the premium contribution rates for certain employees in the police service.
Analysis
Section 62.50(10), Wis. Stats., requires a prior written recommendation of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners prior to a reduction of the compensation of members of the Police and Fire Departments. Adoption of Common Council File Number 110300 on July 26, 2011, arguably reduced the compensation of members of the police and fire departments. No written recommendation from the Board was received prior to adoption.
The board met in October 2011 and voted to recommend the changes in health benefits provided to members of the police and fire departments except for members of the Milwaukee Police Association (MPA).
The resolution in File Number 110874, adopted on November 2, 2011, rescinded File Number 110300 insofar as it applied to all members of the Police and Fire departments who are eligible for group health coverage on January 1, 2012, and reenacted it for these personnel with no other effect on File Number 110300.
The Commission met on December 15, 2011, and voted to recommend to the Common Council that the provisions of File Number 110300 be made applicable to the MPA. That recommendation has been forwarded to the Common Council in writing.
This resolution rescinds File Number 110874 insofar as it applies to members of the Milwaukee Police Department represented by the MPA, and reenacts it for all members of the MPA with no other effect upon File Number 110874.
