Section 1. Amendments. That the Personnel Manual of the City of Opelika, as previously amended, is further amended in the following respect:
That Section 12.4.2.2 is hereby adopted to read as follows:
Section 12.4.2.2 Health Plan.
Generally, new employees are covered on the first of the month following date of employment. New eligible employees may be covered by the city’s group health plan by completing a written application for such coverage within thirty-one (31) days of their employment with the city. If an employee does not apply for coverage within this time period and later wishes to apply for coverage, his coverage will not become effective until the carrier gives its written consent for such coverage. An eligible employee may select either single coverage for himself or family coverage to include his eligible dependents. The city will pay a percentage of cost associated with single coverage for the employee. The employee will be responsible for the costs associated with coverage for his family. Benefits paid under the employee health insurance plan will be coordinated with any other health insurance plan, under which an eligible employee is or may be covered, in accordance with the terms of the policy. Any employee covered by the employee health insurance plan may at separation be eligible to purchase coverage for himself and/or his dependents in accordance with the terms of the policy and federal law.
Except as otherwise provided, any eligible employee, at the time of service retirement, may elect to purchase health insurance coverage for himself and dependents under the city’s group health insurance plan. An eligible employee as used herein shall mean:
(a) Any employee with at least ten (10) years of creditable service who has attained age sixty (60) at the time of withdrawal from the service.
(b) An employee with twenty-five (25) years or more creditable service
at the time of withdrawal from service.
Payment of premiums for individual and/or dependent coverage hereunder shall be the financial responsibility of the retired employee and such premium payment shall be made to the city on or before the first day of each month, payable one (1) month’s premium in advance. All coverage shall cease when the retiree reaches the age of 65 or becomes eligible for Medicare, whichever occurs first. Employees who retired prior to October 1, 2019, may remain eligible for coverage until the retiree reaches age 65.
Section 2. Severability. The provisions of this ordinance are severable. If any section, subsection, clause, sentence or phrase of this ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, then said holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance.
Section 3. Cumulative of All Other Ordinances. The provisions of this ordinance are cumulative of all other ordinances or parts of ordinances governing or regulating the subject matter as covered herein, provided, however, that all prior ordinances or parts of ordinances inconsistent with or in conflict with any of the provisions of this ordinance are hereby expressly repealed to the extent of any such inconsistency or conflict.
Section 4. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective upon its passage, approval and publication as required by law.
Section 5. Publication. The City Clerk of the City of Opelika, Alabama is hereby authorized and directed to cause this Ordinance to be published one (1) time in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Opelika, Lee County, Alabama.
