In the event any such employee is determined to be ineligible for said insurance coverage, the City will attempt to provide as much coverage as may be obtained at reasonable cost without having to provide evidence of insurability. 12.5 The City shall retain the right to change health, dental and life insurance carriers, administer the insurance benefits provided thereunder, and select and /or change any excess or supplemental insurance carriers as a part of any self - insurance plan during the term of this Agreement, provided that employees covered by this Agreement continue to receive equivalent benefits and provided that the parties have met and conferred before the changes have been made. 12.6 Option to Redesignate Certain Contributions.

Effective January 1, 2006, the amount allowed for redesignation of dental coverage is equal to the amount of City contribution (i.e. $90 /month in 2006, $100 /month in 2007, and $110 /month in 2008). The amount allowed for redesignation of medical coverage is equal to the amount of City contribution toward medical premiums for either the "employee- only" or "family" tier, respectively, during the term of the Agreement. The amount allowed for redesignation of long -term disability or life coverage, respectively, is equal to the amount actually paid by the City on behalf of the employee. The amounts referenced above may be applied to the options within the cafeteria plan. If two City employees are married, at least one of the two employees must maintain insurance coverage. The amount of money that can be redesignated by the employee waiving coverage is limited to the value of the "employee- only" level within each type of insurance.
