From the minutes
“Ms. Pine moved that the Board state that they would not request any change in the payment rates for retiree's health plans and would not approach the Spring Town Meeting for any changes in the rates for retirees or those retiring prior to June 30, 2019. Mr. Degen seconded the motion. Mr. Degen said that they had taken the cost share of the current employees and brought it down to 30% during recent negotiations. He said that the Board was stating with the motion that they didn't want to make any changes to the health insurance rates of the current retirees. He said he would like to see a change for new retirees, after June 30, 2019 brought to a 60/40 cost share split. Mr. Giger said that he wanted to see them have more discussion on that. Ms. Pine said she was not going to add that to her motion and wanted to see them discuss that more. Mr. Degen said he understood that but didn't want to see the can kicked down the road. Mr. Giger asked that it be added to the ongoing issues list. The motion carried unanimously..” (Motion: Pine, second: Degen)
