In the event the committee makes a recommendation that is consistent with the committee's authority, is actuarially sound and meets all the requirements of federal, state and local laws, and Council rejects the recommendation, any reductions in plan costs that may have occurred due to the change in plan design, will be treated as having occurred for the purposes of calculating the maximum City city contribution under this agreement. These costs will be calculated by evaluating the premiums and/or rates as if the changes had occurred, the rates and/or premiums absent the changes, and the number of participants under the plan(s) involved. (For example, if the self-insured plan two party rate would be $298 per employee per month with the addition of a benefit design change "X", but Council rejects the design change and therefore the two party rate is $350 per month per employee, the City city contribution will be increased $52 per month per employee on the self-insured plan to give credit for the change.)
