<br /> ARTICLE 4: APPROPRIATE FY 2010 OPERATING BUDGET
<br /> MOTION: That the following amounts be appropriated for the ensuing fiscal year and be

<br /> Amended March 30, 2009: Resolution:
<br /> Whereas Lexington's escalating health care costs have been and are continuing to consume a significant proportion of
<br /> Lexington's allowable 2 % percent increase in the tax levy, and
<br /> Whereas options for realizing savings in health care costs for municipalities and towns are severely limited by current
<br /> state law, and
<br /> Whereas the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is exempt from any requirement to negotiate and receive approval to
<br /> implement significant changes in its health insurance plans through its Group Insurance Commission (GIC), and
<br /> Whereas the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and all its cities and town face an unprecedented economic crisis that will
<br /> dramatically impact public finances for a least the next two years,
<br /> Now, therefore, the Town of Lexington petitions the Governor of Massachusetts and the Senate and House of
<br /> Representatives to enact legislation to allow municipalities to modify health care plan design without the requirements of
<br /> collective bargaining such that municipalities can, in a timely manner, either (1) join the GIC; or (2) offer health care plans
<br /> to employees that are comparable to the offerings of the GIC, provided that the co- payments and deductibles of such
<br /> plans do not exceed those of the GIC.
