Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
• This is a request for an ordinance to approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Denver Police Protective Association for pay and benefits for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. The parties agreed to across-the-board salary increases of 3.5% in 2018, 3.25% in 2019, and 3.25% in 2020. The parties have also agreed to increasing the current starting salary for recruits from $51,779 to $55,000 in 2018.
• The parties also agreed to changes to the health insurance provisions of the CBA. Currently, the City contributes 90% of the premiums for high deductible health plans (HDHPs) and 70% of the premiums for deductible HMO plans (DHMOs), as the latter is type of plan has significantly higher premiums. Additionally, if an officer is enrolled in a HDHP and has opened a health savings account (HSA), the City contributes $600 per year to the officer’s HSA if the officer is enrolled in a single-party plan and $1,800 per year if the officer is enrolled in a multi-party plan. Starting next year, the City has agreed to contribute 90% of the premiums for HDHPs and 77.5% of the premiums for DHMOs. The City will also annually make HSA contributions of $600 for single coverage and $1,200 for multi-party plans.
• Other changes include increasing hazard pay for motorcycle officers, incrementally increasing the Retiree Health Fund contribution to $1.2 million by 2020 from current level of $805,000 and making minor modifications to the Holiday Pay and Change of Shift and Cancellation of Days Off article.
