*Actual benefit coverage is dependent upon participation in the benefits program, which is voluntary and has been declined by many of the City Council members, as well as the level of enrollment (member only, member +1, member + family). The maximum potential benefit for medical insurance is the Blue Shield family rate – rates shown above are the highest current benefits being paid for participating Council members.
