Human Resources Department recommending the Board approve the 2023 Operating Engineers, Local 3 Health Trust health plan rate card.
FUNDING: County-wide cost, shared between the County departments (General Fund and Non-General Fund) and employees.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
OE3 Health Trust Rate Card
The Operating Engineers, Local 3 (OE3) labor organization offers two health plans (Anthem Blue Cross “Plan A” and Kaiser “Plan B”) to their members in our Trades and Crafts (TC) and Corrections (CR) bargaining units, in addition to what is offered by the County. The County contributes to those plans equal to what is contributed to the comparable County-sponsored health plans.
On August 16, 2022, the Human Resources Department brought forth to the Board the 2023 health plan rates, with the notation that the Human Resources Department would return to the Board once the OE3 Health Trust health rates were available for Board consideration.
The OE3 Health Trust has provided the County with their plan rates; the County then applied the County contribution per the applicable Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) to create the published rate cards for employees.
While the County does not have any responsibility for the OE3 Health Trust health plan or programs, the County does have a responsibility to the Employer and Employee contribution for the applicable OE3 Health Trust plans based on the MOUs with the OE3 represented bargaining units.
The Human Resources Department is requesting the Board review and approve the attached 2023 OE3 Health Trust health rate card for the two plans available to our employees.
ALTERNATIVES
