Employee Benefits Division

The Employee Benefits Division plays a vital role in the comprehensive management of benefits programs for various stakeholders. We are committed to providing top-notch services for city employees, external agencies, constitutional offices, retirees, and eligible dependents.

Our extensive range of benefits programs covers Health Insurance, Tricare Supplement, Employee and Dependent Life Insurance, Dental and Vision plans, COBRA, Flexible Spending Account (FSA), which includes medical reimbursement, elder and child care, transportation, and pre-taxed parking benefits. Additionally, we offer an OBRA 457(b) Plan, a 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan, and a 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan to help secure the financial future of our employees.

To further support our employees, we conduct new employee benefits on-boarding sessions, pre-retirement seminars, and an engaging wellness program. The wellness program encompasses vital services such as blood drives, free on-site flu shots clinics, discounted gym memberships, 'Lunch and Learn' programs, and free on-site biometric screenings encouraging a healthy and thriving community within the city workforce.

With our dedicated team and a diverse range of benefits programs, we aim to ensure the well-being of all members of the city's workforce, both present, and retired. We continuously strive to improve and evolve our services to meet the ever-changing needs of our community.
