Further, the Chairman declares that an open meeting discussion may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the Town. The State Group Insurance Commission (GIC) has eliminated its PPO's options as part of the FY16 health insurance plan design. Most of the Town's employees are in PPO plans. These plans have been replaced with POS plans whereby an employee must have a primary care doctor who makes referrals to any specialists. Out of network specialists have larger copay/deductibles. Further, all copays and deductibles are increasing for FY16. The Agreement between the Town and the Employee Coalition provides for a reopening of the Agreement, should the State GIC eliminate the PPO's. Staff will discuss with the Selectmen the Coalition's proposals. The School Committee will join the Board for this discussion. RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION: NA FOLLOW-UP: APPROXIMATE TIME ON AGENDA: 6:10 PM
