Board hears proposal for employee clinic tied to a three-year contract, projected to save roughly $1.2M
Summary
Board members discussed an employee clinic contract (three-year term) that staff said could cost about $1,000,000 to start but produce savings near $1,200,000; members asked for legal review of contract termination options before committing. Implementation timing and contract details remain contingent on negotiations.
Board members discussed a proposed employee clinic and the contract terms that would accompany it.
A committee member summarized cost estimates: the clinic would cost roughly $1,000,000 and was expected to generate about $1,200,000 in savings, figures described in the meeting as approximate. Andrew Lethbridge, MPD superintendent, said the clinic would operate under a three-year contract and that fleet and Marsh would work on rewriting the contract. He said staffing was underway and a target start around September 1 was feasible once notice and training were completed.
Board members raised concerns about exit provisions and legal protections if the district chose to terminate the clinic arrangement. A committee member asked that the board attorney (Miss Nash) review the contract to confirm termination windows and the district’s ability to end the agreement if needed. Staff emphasized the district could decline to proceed if the clinic did not meet expectations during the initial review period.
