Why we are here:Projections show a funding deficit to the
trust. Plan had a bad year.Committee charged with finding a solution.District said NO MORE FUNDS AVAILABLE.
Consequently, the committee was forced to design a plan that places the increases squarely on the backs of the employees.

That Plan:Proposed placing 87% of the burden on
employees.4.66 million in increased premiums 7.66 million in plan changes.A total of a 12.32 million dollar hit
8% was placed on the District.1.1 million toward the reserves.
Retirees have a 5% increase.Employees rejected the proposal 94% to 6%.

National AverageAccording to Consumer Expenditure Survey
conducted by the US Government – the average cost for a family of 2.5 people for health insurance is $2,374.90. This represents 4.8% of the annual expenditures*.

Possible Solutions
Increase District’s portion of the premiums.
Leave the Plan as is and redirect the $1,000 employer contribution to stabilize the fund.
Implement HSA as the free plan and place premiums on the HRA equivalent to 2009-2010 levels.
![Page 12: Escambia Education Association Union of Escambia ESP](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022033023/56815c5a550346895dca5e13/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Problem With These Solutions
We have no way of knowing how much any changes made at this meeting will actually cost the plan.
We can’t fix this problem tonight.
![Page 13: Escambia Education Association Union of Escambia ESP](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022033023/56815c5a550346895dca5e13/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Reasonable SolutionEEA Contract – Article I.1
C. Issues may be raised through the appropriate collaborative process for consideration during the life of this Agreement.
F. This Agreement shall constitute commitments between both parties and may be altered, changed, added to, deleted from, or modified only through the voluntary, mutual consent of the parties in a written and signed amendment to this Agreement.
Escambia ESP Contract – Article I.2Issues may be raised through the appropriate
process for consideration at any time during the life of the Agreement.

Therefore:Reconvene the committee.Direct the District to commit funds to
the plan in a effort to seek a more reasonable solution for your employees.
Using a 70%-30% split, the committee would have access to 10 million dollars if the District pledged 7 million dollars and the employees absorbed 3 million in premiums and plan changes.
