CTA/MSTA summarized a second survey distributed by its organization to all SJSD employees. 546 people responded to the survey. The survey states that 95 percent of those responding would like to keep Option 1. After considerable discussion, CTA/MSTA requested Option 1 for one year, allowing the district one year to RFP brokers to find other options for health coverage, time to review the compensation study results, and in exchange CTA/MSTA would work diligently to help the district to pass a tax levy when needed. Dr. Newhart requested a break at 5:00 p.m. The committee resumed at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Newhart proposed the following recommendation:  For 2016, employees can choose: ‐ 1 year with the Option 1 renewal with a cap not to exceed $692;  Or Option 5 (HSA). If the employee chooses Option 5, the district will contribute approximately $85 per month to the HSA  The cap will be in place for 30 months – January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018  Beginning immediately (asap), the District will put out a RFP for brokers and other insurance options (Wednesday, October 21, 2015, at 4:00 p.m.) Mr. Bruder had to leave at 5:40 p.m. Dr. Newhart recommended CTA/MSTA take time to review this proposal and Meet and Confer meet again next week to finalize the recommendation. 6) Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. Debbie Consolver Board Secretary
