2. POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH PLAN ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM Presentation regarding the Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program. At the conclusion of the presentation, approve the “Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program” per the Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program document as on file in the Office of the Clerk of the Board. The Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program allows Maricopa County employees who are eligible for normal retirement to take advantage of a unique opportunity to receive an enhanced Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) Benefit Contribution for accrued Family/Medical Leave (FML). The Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program is in addition to the current $10,000 Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) Benefit provided to retirees who have at least 1,000 hours of accumulated FML at retirement. The $30,000 cap applies only to the Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program specific payout; the PEHP Benefit is not subject to the cap. The total cost of this program is estimated to be not-to-exceed $20 million (all funds). This program will be funded as follows: General Fund and Detention Fund Departments •The Non-Departmental Non-Recurring budget will absorb the cost of the additional Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program contribution. •The Department will absorb the cost of any Personal Leave accrual payout and the established Post Employment Health Plan Benefit. •If the Department’s budget is unable to absorb the additional cost, the Department may request assistance from the Non-Departmental Budget through their OMB Budget Analyst. Non-General Fund and Non-Detention Fund Departments •The Department will absorb the cost of the additional Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program, as well as the cost of any Personal Leave accrual payout and normal PEHP Benefit provided to the retiree. •If the Department’s budget and fund balance is unable to absorb the additional cost, the Department may request assistance from the Non-Departmental Budget through their OMB Budget Analyst. Department budgets will be adjusted for the vacancies created through employee participation in the Post Employment Health Plan Enhancement Program and positions will be inactivated due to vacancies created through retirement. Departments may request a critical position be reactivated, a lower level position be created, or a re-organization that results in a reduction-in-force, and request funding for these positions through their OMB and Compensation Analyst. These actions will require Board of Supervisors approval. If a position is reestablished through Board approval, it must be recruited internal to the County for at least 10 business days. The recruiting range will be the minimum of the market range, with the maximum being either the mid-point of the market range or 10% below the position’s prior incumbent’s rate, whichever is less. The hiring rate of the successful candidate must be within the recruiting range. Employees retiring under this program are eligible for re-employment with Maricopa County. In addition to the rules related to returning to employment as specified in an employee’s retirement system, the following rules will also be applied to employees receiving a retirement incentive: •The hire rate will be the minimum of the pay range, regardless of market range title or relevant experience. This rule applies for classified, unclassified, contract, and temporary employment situations. •Leave Accrual rates will be set at the minimum level, regardless of past service. This rule applies to classified and unclassified employment situations. Contract employees do not accrue paid leave of any kind, but may receive a stated amount (not to exceed the minimum level accrued by a merit covered employee in a calendar year) to be used for vacation, sick or other personal reasons..

3. CREATION OF GENERAL LITIGATION DEPARTMENT Approve the creation of a new department entitled General Litigation (Department 330). Approve the transfer of expenditure appropriation authority in the amount of $527,530 from County Attorney-Civil Department (280) General Fund (100) Operating (0000) and the transfer of $194,341 from Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Consultants (4724) Operating (0000) to the General Litigation Department (Department 330, Fund 100). On December 23, 2008 the Board of Supervisors withdrew its delegation of litigation services from the County Attorney. This action reallocates funding for outside legal services from the existing County Attorney - Civil budget in keeping with the December, 2008 action. This action also allocates funds from Non-Departmental Consultants to allow for the creation of positions to support litigation services, and necessary general supplies. Overall costs of litigation are expected to decline over time. (C-49-09-051-M-00)
