Title

Substitute resolution relating to family plan health benefits afforded management employees.

Analysis

This resolution requires that, effective January 1, 2005, any City management employee who is enrolled for family health insurance coverage as a dependent through a participant in a health insurance plan that is sponsored for its employees by any state, local, school district or federal governmental body is not eligible for family health insurance coverage under a City of Milwaukee health insurance plan.

Body

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee currently requires that when any City employee has a spouse who is also employed by the City, the two spouses may enroll in only one family health and dental insurance plan; and

 

Whereas, The spouses and registered domestic partners of city employees may be employed by other governmental bodies, including local, state, school district, or federal government employers, and such employers frequently make family health insurance coverage available to their employees and eligible dependents; and

 

Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee has determined that there is no significant benefit to the City in providing duplicate family health insurance coverage to its employees, and that such duplicate family health insurance coverage results in an increased cost to the City and its taxpayers; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that effective January 1, 2005, any City Management employee who is enrolled for family health insurance coverage as a dependent through a participant in a health insurance plan that is sponsored for its employees by any local, county, state, school district or federal government employer, including, but not limited to, the Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee County, Milwaukee Area Technical College, the Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewage District, the State of Wisconsin, or the federal government, is not eligible to enroll for family coverage under any City of Milwaukee health insurance plan.
