to meet dental care costs.

increased from $3,000 to $10,000.

five to six, with the addition of Memorial Day (same as other employees) .
10. Deferred Compensation for Employee Retirement Contribution - Under new IRS
rulings, the employee's contribution to PERS can be treated as Deferred
Compensation, which reduces the employee' s taxable income by the amount of
contribution to PERS.
It should be noted in reviewing the above fringe benefit changes that the POA
does not have a Market Basket Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The total additional annual cost for the compensation package is approximately
$475,000, which falls within the established guidelines. Additional funding
will be appropriated in a single appropriating resolution once wage increases
have been determined for all City employees.
