SECTION 3. Effective January 1, 2025, the City -paid benefit contribution for all active

International Union (SEIU) who are actively working for the City. The City has a two-tier plan
for City -paid benefit allowances:

January 1, 2018.
• Tier 2 includes active employees hired or re -hired after a break in service into benefitted
positions on or after January 1, 2018. A break in service is defined as when the employee
voluntarily or involuntarily separates from city service and is later rehired.
For active employees hired before January 1, 2018 (TIER 1) who enroll in a City -
provided health insurance plan, the maximum monthly benefit allowance will be based on the
level of medical coverage selected (i.e., employee only, employee plus one, or family). For 2025,
the benefit allowances will be as described in the schedule below:
• Employee only coverage: Up to $1,426.12 per month to cover health, dental, and vision
premiums.
..
• Employee plus one coverage: Up to $1,574.00 per month to cover health, dental, and
vision premiums.
• Employee family coverage: Up to $2,054.00 per month to cover health, dental, and vision
premiums.
For active employees hired or re -hired on or after January 1, 2018 (TIER 2) who enroll in
a City -provided health insurance plan, the maximum monthly benefit allowance will be based on
the level of medical coverage selected (i.e., employee only, employee plus, or family). For 2025,
the benefit allowances will be as described in the schedule below:
• Employee only coverage: Up to $789.00 per month to cover health, dental, and vision
premiums.
• Employee plus one coverage: Up to $1,574.00 per month to cover health, dental, and
vision premiums.

Active employees hired prior to January 1, 2011, will receive a monthly taxable cash
amount of $1,016.58 less any applicable health, dental, and vision premiums. This taxable cash
two amount is inclusive of the benefit allowances listed above, not in addition to those amounts.
Active employees hired or re -hired on or after January 1, 2011, who are not enrolled in a City -
provided health insurance plan, will receive a monthly taxable cash amount of $369.06 less any
applicable dental and vision premiums. This amount is equal to half of the employee only rate
for the lowest cost CalPERS health insurance plan available to City employees who reside in
Santa Clarita. For 2025, this plan is Blue Shield Trio HMO.
Benefit allowances and taxable cash will be pro -rated for employees who are part-time,
benefitted, regular employees based on their work hours and leave accrual hours used per pay
period.
The maximum benefit allowances may be adjusted based on changes to health, dental,
and vision plans. Changes to future benefit allowances for active employees will be subject to
City Council approval.
SECTION 4. Effective January 1, 2025, the retiree health care contribution for City
Council members and regular employees, both unrepresented and SEIU, hired prior to January
1, 2008, and retiring from the City before January 1, 2012, will be a monthly medical benefit up

members and regular employees, hired prior to January 1, 2008, and retiring from the City on or
after January 1, 2012, will be a monthly medical benefit up to the employee plus one dependent

Council members, regular unrepresented employees, and regular employees covered by the
