Also, employees hired next year and beyond will not qualify for city-funded health insurance when they retire. The city eliminated that coverage to control an estimated $858 million gap between the amount it pays for retiree insurance and the amount it is expected to owe.
New employees can save money in a tax-exempt account to pay for retirement coverage.
Hicks voted against the ordinance eliminating retiree health insurance.
