Board approves $40 monthly insurance premium increase; record shows inconsistent contribution figures
Summary
Trustees approved a $40 monthly increase to employee insurance premiums with a unanimous vote, but discussion contains inconsistent employer contribution figures in the record that were not reconciled at the meeting.
The board approved an increase to employee insurance to cover a $40 monthly premium rise, with the motion passing 5-0.
Administration presented the proposal and described the employer contribution increase as $40.00 per month per employee; the minutes record both a summary that the employer contribution would increase "from $430.00 to $470.00" and, later in the same discussion, a different set of figures reported by administration: "from $407.00 per month per employee to $547.00 per month per employee." The record does not reconcile that discrepancy during the meeting. "Jessica Morrill moves the Board to Approve an increase to Employee Insurance in the amount of $40.00 per month, per employee as presented," the minutes show. The motion was seconded by Christina Manzano and passed unanimously.
Business Manager Rodney Stryk said about 75% of district employees are enrolled in the district plan. The board did not take additional action to reconcile the differing employer-contribution numbers during the session; administration indicated the change reflects the exact amount insurance premiums increased this year.
