CALL TO ORDER
AGENDA AND DISCUSSIONS
? Reather Hollowell discussed a Sick Leave Bank policy. The Sick Leave Bank
Policy would replace the current Donated Leave policy. The Sick Leave Bank
policy would allow employees to donate sick days on a voluntary basis. The
Sick Leave Bank policy has been presented to department heads. Their sentiment
was ?if it?s not broke, don?t fix it?. Most managers like the current leave
policy but suggested there was room for improvement. Committee members had
questions and concerns on how guidelines would be established and how sick
leave would be disbursed. The recommendation is to tweak the current donated
leave policy.
? Reather Hollowell discussed savings strategies for 2016 healthcare plan year.
Those saving strategies discussed were reducing the number of health plans and
making the Health & Wellness Center available to everyone.
? Other Business: Reather Hollowell gave an update on the pension software,
PensionGold. The software will manage all pension plans. Implementation of the
system is near. Also, there is a RFP on the 457 deferred compensation plan. The
selected vendor would be the sole 457 plan provider.
? The minutes of EBC meeting held on June 25, 2014 were introduced and approved.
? There being no further business, a motion was made to adjourn.
