Board member, Carol Tracey Carr asked if multiple health insurance plans could be offered. Breslauer said there were a variety of options in each plan and staff could always solicit health care insurance providers on their own, requesting information regarding individual plans.
Vice-Chair, William Hughes, asked if staff were notified about the progress so far. “It would settle some anxiety,” he said.
Breslauer said after the health insurance provider was chosen meetings would be set up with staff. Breslauer saids he did not have enough information or solid numbers to share with staff at this time.
Both Chair Camilla Washington and Breslauer agreed that staff can seek individual health insurance coverage on their own. In some cases, Breslauer said that some individual health plans might be better than the group rate.
