8.3.B. - Page 77 <br /> under the major medical plan, The City need only expend for this purpose the actual <br /> amount required to achieve parity between the benefits agreed to be provided under the <br /> major medical plan and the benefits provided under any federal or state plan as <br /> supplemented in the manner hereinabove described. In no event shall the City be <br /> required to expend for such purposes an amount which, when added to the contributions <br /> or taxes required of the City under the federal or state act, shall exceed the amounts paid <br /> at the time such legislation becomes effective. <br /> If the benefits provided under the federal or state act exceed the benefits provided <br /> hereunder in each category of coverage, the City shall be under no further obligation to <br /> make any contributions. <br /> The City intends to evaluate the hospital-medical, life insurance, and dental plans, which <br /> are currently available to employees. In the event that it may be possible to provide <br /> hospital-medical, life insurance and dental coverage as nearly comparable as possible to <br /> the benefits in effect on September 1, 1998, without additional cost to the City or the <br /> employees, the City may substitute new insurance carriers. The Association will be <br /> given an opportunity to review the coverage afforded under such substitute plans before <br /> they are implemented. <br /> The City and RCPSA agree that in the event state or federal law changes to the <br /> extent that mandates are placed on the City or the level of benefits changes during <br /> the term of this MOU, the parties agree to reopen the MOU to meet and confer <br /> over such changes or mandates, if either party requests to do so. <br /> 10,6 LongTerm Disability <br /> The City will pay$19.50 per month, per employee towards the cost of Long Term <br /> Disability Coverage. <br /> 10.7 Vision <br /> The City will continue to contract with Vision Service Plan (VSP) or comparable vision <br /> care provider to provide vision care benefits for employees and their dependents. The <br /> Vision Service Plan "B" provides for an exam every 12 months, lenses every 12 months <br /> if needed, and frames every 2 years, if needed. There is no deductible for employees, but <br /> a $20.00 per person deductible will apply to dependents each time benefits are available <br /> and will be paid by employees. Effective January 1, 2012, the City will pay ninety <br /> percent(90%) of the vision insurance premium for eligible employees and dependents. <br /> SECTION 11. PROBATION <br /> 11.1 All appointments shall be tentative and subject to a probationary period of twelve (12) <br /> months of service from the date of appointment. During the probationary period an <br /> employee may be rejected at any time by the City Manager upon recommendation of the <br /> Police Chief. Any regular employee rejected during the probationary period shall be <br /> reinstated to the position from which he or she was promoted unless conditions warrant <br /> his or her dismissal. <br /> 31 <br />
