MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 107145 MISCELLANEOUS ORDINANCE # 27 June 14, 2007
BY: Finance Committee, Mike Rogers, Chairperson
IN RE: AN ORDINANCE TO CONFIRM AND RESTATE OAKLAND COUNTY'S
EXISTING CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO PROVIDE FOR MEDICAL
BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN RETIRED COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND THEIR
ELIGIBLE DEPENDENTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
THE COUNTY OF OAKLAND ORDAINS:
Section 1. Title of ordinance.
This ordinance shall be known and may be cited as the Retiree Medical Benefits
Contractual Obligations Ordinance.
Section 2. Intent and purpose.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners is empowered by statute to provide group
health care benefits for County retirees and their dependents ("retiree medical benefits") and has
done so since 1965. The County's longstanding contractual obligations to provide retiree
medical benefits to eligible retired and active employees of the County are documented in
contracts, resolutions, booklets and other documents and written communications available to
County active and retired employees, but not collectively in one place. The intent and purpose of
this ordinance are to provide a clear, comprehensive confirmation, reaffirmation and restatement
of the County's contractual obligations to provide retiree medical benefits, as befits these
important County obligations.
Section 3. History of the County's obligations for retiree medical benefits.
A. The County has provided retiree medical benefits to eligible County retirees and
their dependents continuously since 1965. In a 1987 resolution, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners recognized that the established rights of eligible County retirees and employees
to receive retiree medical benefits should not be subject to repudiation by future Boards of
Commissioners and determined that it would be a "prudent fiscal policy to actuarially accrue and
fund the liability for these vested future health care benefit payments." Accordingly, in 1987, the
County established a system of two trusts to fund its retiree medical benefits obligations. For the
same purpose, the County established a voluntary employees benefit association trust ("VEBA
trust") under Section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code in 2000 to replace the prior two
trusts as a vehicle for funding its obligation to provide retiree medical benefits. At significant
expense, the County has funded this ongoing, long-term liability continually since 1987.
B. Since their inception, these legally binding County contractual obligations for
current and future retiree medical benefits have been expressly subject to the County's reserved
right to reasonably modify from time to time the portion of the total cost to be borne by retirees
for receiving such benefits (e.g., co-pays and deductibles) and the scope and details of the
provided retiree medical benefits, as appropriate to comport with evolving changes in medical
research, technology, drug development, the practice of medicine, health care delivery and the
costs thereof, but not modifications tantamount to providing less than an appropriate core
package of retiree medical benefits. At various times, accordingly, the County has increased
and/or decreased the cost of coverage to its retirees and the scope and details of the retiree
medical benefits provided.
C. Throughout its long history of performing its retiree medical benefits obligations,
including currently, the County has maintained various negotiated agreements with health care
insurers, health care providers, managed care organizations and others that specify at any given
time the medical benefits then available to County retirees and their families.
D. The documentation for the County's contractual obligations to provide retiree
medical benefits to eligible retired and active employees of the County, and a chronological
listing of the County's actions, practices and continuous course of dealing in providing retiree
medical benefits since 1965, are described in Exhibit A at the end (and hereby made a part) of
this ordinance.
E. In recognition of the magnitude and financial significance of many governmental
employers' unfunded liabilities for retiree medical benefits, which previously were not reported
in their financial statements under generally accepted governmental accounting principles, the
2
• • ..
I
Government Accounting Standards Board has recently required that employers, such as the
County, must now report in their financial statements the reasonably estimated true cost of their
unfunded accrued actuarial liabilities for post-employment medical benefits. This has presented
an independent, additional reason for this ordinance to bring desirable clarity to identifying the
same binding contractual commitments that the County has always acknowledged and paid when
due since their inception and for which it has established, funded and maintained the VEBA trust
since 2000.
Section 4. Confirming existing contractual obligations for retiree medical benefits.
A. The County Board of Commissioners hereby confirms, reaffirms and restates the
County's existing contractual obligations to provide retiree medical benefits to eligible retired
and active County employees and their dependents, and acknowledges and agrees that these are
binding contractual obligations of the County to eligible retired and active County employees
and their dependents that future County Boards of Commissioners cannot repudiate.
B. The retired and the currently active County employees who are eligible to receive
County-provided retiree medical benefits are described in Exhibit B at the end (and hereby made
a part) of this ordinance. They perform their side of the County's contractual commitments to
provide retiree medical benefits to them and their dependents by providing their services to the
County as its employees and by meeting the applicable age and length-of-service criteria
described in Exhibit B.
C. The scope of benefits currently included in the County's retiree medical benefits
program ("RMB program") is summarized in Exhibits C and D at the end (and hereby made a
part) of this ordinance. Such scope of benefits shall continue to be the core package of retiree
medical benefits in the RMB program that will be provided by the County for eligible current
and future retirees in fulfillment of its existing, binding, contractual obligations which are
confirmed, reaffirmed and restated in this ordinance; provided, that the County has the right,
subject to and strictly limited to the extent of any conflicting collective bargaining agreement
obligation, to reasonably modify from time to time the RMB program, taking into account then
prevailing customs and standards for governmental employers reasonably comparable to the
County: (1) with respect to the amounts retirees may have to contribute to the costs of their and
3
their dependents' coverage (for example and without limitation, co-pays and deductibles) and the
scope of coverage and range of benefits provided, as appropriate to comport with evolving
changes in medical research, technology, drug development, the practice of medicine, health care
delivery and the costs thereof (for example and without limitation, if developments in medical
treatment and technology allow for replacing certain services and treatments that are currently
provided with different services and treatments that are better suited to achieve the intended
clinical results), but not modifications tantamount to providing less than an appropriate core
package of retiree medical benefits; (2) to introduce programs designed to help participants in the
RMB program better maintain their health, encourage preventive care and better control and
manage chronic conditions; and provided, further, that any modifications by the County to the
RMB program's scope of coverage shall maintain a level of coverage after their implementation
reasonably comparable to the level of coverage immediately prior to their implementation; and
(3) insofar as necessary so as not to violate any Michigan statutory law that prohibits the County
from providing retiree medical benefits at the cost and scope of coverage for which the County is
contractually obligated on the date of adoption of this ordinance.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this ordinance, in the event that any
other health care benefits plan, program or arrangement becomes effective which, at no further
expense to the County and with no lapse in coverage for any retirees or their dependents,
incontrovertibly provides comparable or superior retiree medical benefits coverage in any respect
to the persons then covered under the County's RMB program, the County's existing, binding,
contractual obligations which are confirmed, reaffirmed and restated in this ordinance may be
satisfied to that extent, in whole or in part, by such other retiree medical benefits provided by
such other plan, program or arrangement.
Section 5. Dispute resolution.
In the event that any person with standing asserts that any necessary provision is missing
from the County's contractual commitment to provide retiree medical benefits to any eligible
person, either side may require the other to submit the reasons for its position, in writing, and to
then enter into good faith negotiations to attempt to agree on supplying the allegedly missing
provision. If, however, they subsequently cannot so agree, the County and such other side shall
4
each select one arbitrator to determine the issue. If the two arbitrators still disagree, then the two
arbitrators originally selected shall select a third arbitrator, and the decision of the majority of the
arbitrators shall be binding. Such arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("Rules") insofar as such Rules are
not inconsistent with the provisions expressly set forth in the County's contractual commitments
to provide retiree medical benefits, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, and pursuant to
the following procedures:
(i) Notice of the demand for arbitration by either side shall be filed in writing
with the other side and with the American Arbitration Association ("Association"). Each side
shall appoint an arbitrator, and those party-appointed arbitrators shall appoint a third neutral
arbitrator within 10 days. If the party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint a third, neutral
arbitrator within 10 days, such third, neutral arbitrator shall be appointed by the Association in
accordance with the governing Rules. A determination by a majority of the panel shall be
binding.
(ii) Reasonable discovery shall be allowed in arbitration.
(iii) All proceedings before the arbitrators shall be held in Oakland County,
Michigan, and the governing law shall be the law of Michigan.
(iv) The costs and fees of the arbitration shall be borne by each side to the
extent each side incurs costs and the other side shall only be asked to share the actual
administrative costs of the neutral arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Association.
(v) The decision rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and judgment may
be entered in accordance with applicable law and in any court having jurisdiction thereof
Section 6. Severability.
If any provision of this ordinance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other
provisions that can be given effect without the invalid provision.
Section 7. Effective date.
5
This ordinance shall become effective upon adoption by the Board of Commissioners and
approval by the County Executive.
Section 8. Authority to adopt ordinance.
The Oakland County Board of Commissioners is granted authority by Section 6 of Public
Act No. 139 of the Public Acts of Michigan of 1973, as amended, to adopt ordinances necessary
for the conduct of county business.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
Ordinance.
