The Town shall contribute a dollar amount equal to the combined total of the CalPERS Kaiser two-party premium and Delta Dental family premium to each Mid-Management and Unrepresented employee's cafeteria plan to purchase medical, dental, life and disability insurance. This dollar amount will float with the increase or decrease in the cost of the
CalPERS Kaiser two-party and Delta Dental family rate. In addition, for active employees with
2 or more qualifying dependents, the Town will contribute the dollar amount equal to the difference between the Kaiser 2-party rate and the Kaiser Employee & 2+ premium rate towards an employee’s medical insurance premiums. If the full sum specified is exceeded for group insurances of a given employee, then that employee shall pay the balance of the monthly
cost via a payroll deduction from the first two payrolls of the month. If the full sum specified is
not used for the group insurances cost of a given employee, then that amount, not to exceed $400 per month, shall deposited into one of the Town's Deferred Compensation Plans in the employee’s name. Any employee who on December 31, 2008 receives more than $400 per month accruing fringe shall be capped at the higher amount. Should, at any time, such
employee’s accruing fringe fall below the grandfathered cap, but more than $400 per month,
the lower amount becomes that employee’s new cap. The enhanced medical benefit for employees with 2 or more dependents will not increase the cafeteria allowance nor expand

out upon retirement or separation of employment with the Town. Those hours cashed out will be deducted from the employees sick leave balance.
