to provide emp~°~es with ,cornp~-ahensive medical coverage. Tl~e City
pays a portion of the cost and the employee pays the balance o[ the
cost for h's paticu~a" coverage, if any. Only full time employees are
eli,3ibte to par~,';pate in th,~ Health Plan. In the event an employee is
on a leave of absen'~.~ withou~ p;~y grea~er than thirty (~0) days and
desi;es l'~.3alth cavara3~, the e,'np~oyee shall pay ~he entire insurance
premium, ~n a monthly b~sis fo~ ~:i)e al,]ration of the leave. In the event
of disabilit, y~ ~lae plan will continue without interrt~pt~,'.x~ for sixty (60)
days after which ten mon,ths of additional coverag~ will be limited to
that specific disabii~t)' or-,ty unless the employee pays the ft~i pre,nium.
C. Life Insurance. The City pays the cost of a life insurance policy
on the employee as an added fringe benefit. The employee may
obtain additional coverage on his dependents for only a small charge.
Only full time empla/.~,~s ace e~ig:l~¢ [o participate.
O. Reimbursement of City-related Expenses. Employees are reim-
'oj:sed fo~ re?istratio-~ f~.~es, meals~ and travel or automobile mileage'
expenses, and the like, which are directly related to City busines'.
