Re: Health and Dental Insurance 2013/14
After meetings with our Benefits committee and our insurance brokers, I've attached the
brokers' negotiated renewal rates with projected costs of $886,000 for the 2013/14 fiscal year,
a 7.54% increase over the prior year (see appendix 1). This projected cost is based on the
current number of employees and their present choice of plans (family/individual).
As the Village is still in negotiations with the 3 unions whose three-year contracts are set to
expire on 9/30/2013, I've attached a copy of our labor attorney's email which outlines the
Village's position in respect of the health insurance plans currently in place (appendix 2). The
premiums are calculated based on their current health plans.

Subject: Status Quo during negotiations -- Affect on health insurance provisions
Merlene —
This will confirm our discussion about collective bargaining issues related to the health insurance benefits offered to
Village of Tequesta bargaining unit employees. �,_;
We understand that the Village has started collective bargaining negotiations with the PBA, the IAFF, and the CWA for -
agreements that will go into effect after the September 30, 2013 expiration of the current agreements. You have asked
what will happen with respect to the existing agreements (and particularly the health insurance provisions), if the
parties have not ratified a successor agreement by October 1, 2013.
Under Florida law, when a public sector employer has not reached agreement on a successor collective bargaining
agreement at the time that the existing agreement ends, the parties are generally obligated to maintain the "status quo"
until a new agreement is established through the statutory collective bargaining process. That is, the wages, benefits,
and terms and conditions of employment that are included in the currently existing collective bargaining agreement
remain in effect until a new agreement is negotiated, (or resolved through the impasse process if the parties are unable
to negotiate an agreement.)
Specific Information About Health lnsurance
Police Benevolent Association -- In 2012, the Village entered into a memorandum of agreement with the PBA that
provided a one-time contribution to participating employee's health savings plans, and allowed employees to make a
one-time sell-back of accrued leave in order to transfer funds to their health savings account. The terms of the
memorandum specifically state that it is applicable only in the fiscal year 2012-13, and the that contribution and sellback
provisions are "one-time" only.
International Association of Firefighters —The existing IAFF collective bargaining agreement provides that the IAFF
bargaining unit employees will be provided the same insurance benefits as those offered to non-union employees of the
Village. That provision would carry forward, and whatever the Village provides to its non-union employees in 2013-14,
would generally be the applicable "status quo."
Communication Workers of America -. There was no memorandum of agreement with CWA last year, so the existing
contract provisions remain in effect until changed through negotiations or impasse.
