BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Representatives from the City of Lodi have been negotiating with the

o Five percent (5%) effective January 8, 2024; and
o Four percent (4%) effective January 6, 2025.
• Increase to the City's contribution towards medical premiums and remain over the term of the contract:
o $ 2,005.52 per month for family coverage;
o $ 1,542.71 per month for employee plus one dependent coverage; and
o $ 771.35 per month for employee only coverage.
• Increase to the annual maximum dental benefit from $1,000 to $1,250 and the addition of orthodontia benefits
for the employees and eligible dependents with a lifetime maximum benefit of $1,250.
• Addition of a fixed holiday in observance of Juneteenth.

FUNDING AVAILABLE; Budget adjustments for these and other compensation increases for City
employees may be needed at Mid Year Fiscal Year 2022/23. Vacancy savings
are the first source for funding the increases for this and future employee contract
changes in the coming Fiscal Year. These savings have been significant in the
past three years allowing the City to build up substantial reserves. These reserves
may be necessary to finance a portion of salary increases. Staff will first seek to
prioritize Pension Stabilization Reserves held at PARS to pay eligible pension
costs in order to preserve locally held economic and catastrophic reserves should
actual reserves be needed. Staff will seep Council input prior to any use of
reserves.
