Coalition History

The Coalition of Santa Monica City Employees (CSMCE) came together in 2000 when representatives from all City non-safety bargaining units met and formed an alliance to deal with the City's plans regarding rapidly increasing medical insurance costs. After successfully negotiating the medical insurance issue and creating the medical trust to assist with retirement medical insurance, the non-safety bargaining units decided to create a permanent body - the Coalition of Santa Monica City Employees - as an on-going force to address matters significantly affecting all City employees which transcend the narrower concerns of the nine non-safety bargaining units.

The Coalition Board of Directors is made of representative(s) appointed by each bargaining unit to act on their behalf to deal with issues affecting all non-safety employees equally. The Coalition has on-going meetings with the City on issues within this purview.

Employee Retirement Benefit Trust

The Santa Monica City Employees Coalition Benefit Trust was established by the coalition of bargaining units representing all permanent employees of the City, except Fire and Police sworn personnel. The Trust was established to provide reimbursement to retired employees for part of their medical insurance premiums. The Trust will not provide insurance for retired employees, but will provide partial reimbursement to eligible retired employees for some of the premiums they pay for health insurance.
