LETTER of UNDERSTANDING
between the
ANAHEIM POLICE ASSOCIATION
and the
CITY of ANAHEIM
The City of Anaheim (ANAHEIM) and the Anaheim Police Association (APA) agree that employees in
classifications represented by the APA shall be offered the AETNA Value HMO plan as one of the health
plan choices available to them for the 2011 plan year. The parties acknowledge that the AETNA Value
HMO plan is not in full compliance with the schedule of benefits required by the current Memorandum of
Understanding between the City and the APA.
The Anaheim Police Association (APA) hereby notifies ANAHEIM of its interest in evaluating whether it is
in the APA's interest to withdraw all of the active members of the bargaining unit from the City's health
plans and thereafter provide health coverage to them through the vehicle of a Health & Welfare Trust to
be established by APA and administered by a Board of Trustees to be selected by APA. The Board of
Trustees will determine all issues concerning eligibility and benefits, including but not limited to medical,
prescription drugs, dental, vision, as well as optional benefits, all as subject to decision of the Board in
the exercise of its discretion. ANAHEIM acknowledges the interest of the APA in evaluating various
options for providing health and welfare benefits to employees in classifications represented by the APA,
and agrees to cooperate by providing employee census data and plan utilization information as requested
by the APA or their agent. In the event the APA ultimately determines that it would be in their interest,
the parties agree to meet and confer in good faith regarding the establishment of a Health & Welfare
Trust with any changes to existing practices to be by mutual agreement of the parties.
