SUMMARY 
A Resolution electing to comply with the provisions of Public Act 152 of 2011 by exercising the City's right to implement the hard cap requirement of the Act for the plan year ending December 31, 2016.
BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS
For the plan year 2016 the City has adopted a high-deductible plan for all collective bargaining units (including ATU) and non represented employees. The City will meet the hard cap requirements of Public Act 152 for the plan year 2016. 



HISTORY, BACKGROUND and  DISCUSSION
Public Act 152 of 2011, known as the publicly funded health insurance contribution act, sets forth requirements for local units of government regarding the cost of health insurance benefits for public employees. The ratification of a collective agreement with Amalgamated Transit Unit has eliminated the past barrier from considering other options under Public Act 152 of 2011.  Those options are 80/20 and hard cap.  Upon review it has been determined the best option is hard cap.
