Hi all, I would like to know what, if any, post-retirement health benefits are offered by small cities (<15,000 pop.). Sixteen of our 30+ employees (50%!) will be eligible for retirement between now and 2010, so it has become an issue in negotiations. I would like to know what you contribute and the eligibility criteria for those not enrolled in CalPERS Health. Our Council is considering CalPERS Health as an option, so if any of you are in the program let me know what you used as your base year retiree contribution and the percentage increase each year you chose. Thanks in advance! Betina McCoy Finance Director City of Patterson
