The Municipality shall pay a portion of the premiums for all permanent full-time employees insured under a contract of hospitalization and medical coverage selected by Mayfield Village. (b.) Permanent full-time employees of the Municipality not presently insured and new permanent full-time employees of the Municipality may join the plan at such intervals as may be authorized by the Municipality's medical insurance carrier, subject to the approval of the Mayor and Finance Director. (c.) Any permanent full-time employee who is otherwise eligible to be covered under a contract of hospitalization and medical coverage but voluntarily withdraws from the above-referenced insurance coverage shall be paid the amount equivalent to 40% of the premium paid by the Village for the particular coverage for each year the employee is employed by Mayfield Village but does not request coverage (e.g., if the annual premium for medical coverage and dental coverage is $10,000.00 and $2,000.00, respectively,. an employee who waives both hospitalization and dental shall receive $4,000.00 plus $800.00 in lieu of hospitalization and dental coverage for the year in question). The payment authorized herein shall be made in equal quarterly installments. This payment will not be made to any person who is otherwise covered under the Mayfield Village policy through a Village employed spouse or other family member. (Effective in 1994). If an employee is eligible under the terms of this paragraph but has worked less than one full year, the benefit described herein will be prorated on a monthly basis beginning the first month in which the employee would have received the benefit under the plan provided by the Village. (d.) The Village will establish a "Health Care Task Force" comprised of appropriate representatives of the Village administration and Village employees, including representatives of the F.O.P., the Fire Union and representatives from each department.
