The city manager shall annually recommend to the mayor and council the level of funding necessary to achieve and maintain adequate trust funding. The determination of the appropriate amount of funding for the trust shall be made annually and shall be solely within the discretion of the mayor and council. The trust shall be funded by allocation of funds from general fund and non-general fund departments. Once funds are deposited to the trust, said funds shall not be subject to the local government budgeting provisions of A.R.S. § 42-17101 et seq. All monies received by the city for the purpose of funding the self-insured health benefits plan shall be deposited into the trust fund, including all health care premiums, contributions, credits, rebates and refunds. Incentive payments and allowances that are made available by service providers and spent by the service providers on plan or trust related matters are not received by the city and are not required to be deposited to the trust.
