Ordinance D-2210-15
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL,
INDIANA AMENDING CHAPTER 2,ARTICLE 3,DIVISION II,
SECTION 2-42 OF THE CARMEL CITY CODE
WHEREAS, the Carmel Common Council passed Ordinance D-2038-11, as amended,
on June 6, 2011, which established a health insurance premium benefit for employees who have
a duty-related disability; and
WHEREAS, the disability benefit intentionally mirrored the benefit provided a retiree
with twenty years of active service to the City of Carmel; and
WHEREAS, the Cannel Common Council passed Ordinance D-2123-13 on February 4,
2013, raising the maximum benefit for a retiree with twenty years of service from $700 per
month ($8,400 per year) to $900 per month ($10,800 per year) to reflect the increasing cost of
insurance; and
WHEREAS, the maximum benefit for an employee with a duty-related disability was
inadvertently overlooked in Ordinance D-2123-13, and not changed to mirror the increase in the
retiree benefit; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to correct this oversight and prevent a recurrence.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AND ORDAINED by the Common Council of
the City of Cannel, Indiana, as follows:
Section 1. The foregoing Recitals are incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 2. Chapter 2, Article 3, Division II, § 2-42(g)(2) is amended to read as
follows:
(2) For an employee whose disability is duty-related, but not clearly, directly,
substantially and causally related, the City will contribute 50% of the employee (and family, if
applicable) .medical and dental premiums, provided that the City's insurance premium
contribution shall not exceed the maximum established in section (e) above for a retiree with
twenty years of active service. For a sworn police officer or firefighter, this benefit pertains to
those who are determined by PERF to have a Class 2 Impairment. For civilians, the City will, at
its sole discretion, determine whether a disability falls into this category.
Section 3. The remaining provisions of Cannel City Code Chapter 2, Article 3,
Division II, § 2-42 shall remain in full force and effect and are not affected by this Ordinance.
