003much all right new business the human resources Finance FY 26 medical rates good evening Dr Jones members of the board uh this evening I'm here to discuss and share with you uh what we predict will be our health insurance rates for next year good evening Dr Jones members of the board uh I'm here this evening to uh share with you uh what we um anticipate to be our health rates uh for employees and our new fiscal uh gear FY 26 right now since we presented the budget uh Governor yunan has put out his Amendment not just him but the whole government has put out their amendments for the spring uh and they're um coming down to the wire March 24th he has to sign all the past bills or veto them and send them back
004to General Assembly so we've taken that the state has given us projected revenues based on those amendments that made out of committee and and our sitting on his desk for Signature anticipating uh an increase in our basic Aid a slight increase in our basic Aid we would like to put those additional revenues toward our health insurance rates to get them down for our employees so the the numbers I'm presenting tonight are based on those projections if for some reason the governor would veto any of those bills that may be related to uh that projected funding and for some reason would be reduced then these rates would have to be recalculated but hopefully I don't anticipate that but we'll see once those bills are signed with that said let me pull up um the rates for
005the insurance company from Anthem uh Rose 10.8% the overall monthly premium U from last year to this year uh Kaiser's rates ra uh went up increased by 5.4% uh the monthly premium looking at our projected Revenue we typically oh well we're required to cover 80% of the employ only policy right now the numbers I present tonight we going to uh to cover 83% of that to reduce the employee sh employee share of the monthly premium so here are the premiums for the employee only Share Plans uh for Anthem as you can see you know the at the required was 80% really we were covering about 83.5 it rounds up to 84 on the spreadsheet uh so you can see we're covering more than the minimum requirement for each of those policies the employee employee plus
006one to family the two employee uh policy in the family and a family to the right means two employee family a Schoolboard family the average decrease for employees for employee only premiums will be about and you they'll drop about by 9% if as long as our Revenue comes in as as predicted so looking at our employee only if you look at that column e going downwards uh the 250 with Comprehensive Dental the monthly premium would be $148 that's for the month so it you split that in two for each pay deduction uh we're HR has determined to add two lower cost policies that key Advantage 1,000 and again if you look at those rates you're looking at $11 a month and $32 a month for the comprehensive now those policies have higher deductibles and so
007forth uh but it is a lower a less expensive option for employees and if you look across you can see you know all the all the rates do drop so let me go back and show you the rates so here is our sheet that we will be posting once uh the revenue is finalized so you can see across the board the same numbers I just shared uh the this will be a significant savings to our employees next year uh and we're excited to hopefully be able to do that for them uh once the governor finalizes and the general assem General Assembly finalizes the FY 26 budget and that will conclude my presentation for the health rates thank you very much on there any questions board members just just one so the the new understand the
008new 1,000 plans are you said higher deductible are those High deductible plans they're higher deductible plan it's not a high deductible plan HP right my understanding is that correct Dr grass yes that's correct okay just hired all right thank you any other questions all right so this is an action item oh this is just for information oh okay all right okay thank you thank you very much now we can move to the action agenda the uh Finance proposed fy2 budget amendment thank you Dr Jones there we go so tonight I'm here to propose an additional amendment to our current fy2 fy2 budget uh I will again refer to the bills that are sitting on the governor's desk uh one of those bills includes a $1,000 bonus for all soq positions which has to be paid
009by June 1st now wanted to go ahead and get that approved tonight so if it you know as long as it gets approved by the general assembly and or the governor signs off on it we'll be able to to process those and get those out before June 1st if for some reason that bill would be vetoed and not approved then of course I wouldn't spend that money and spend the money that didn't exist so but looking at that we anticipate being able to uh pay everyone a $1,000 bonus will cover the remaining employees who are not SQ funded with uh funds that have not been unspent funds from this current year from vacant positions we have also received several um smaller grants that that add up we have school Improvement Grants State School Improvement Grants
010a micro Grant um for removing berries that's for the uh some of that money is for the uh pockets for the cell phones um in the English learner n uh literacy Network alog together these uh these additional Grant funds and additional funds come up to adding $563,000 837 $563,000 to our current budget so that will bring well we'll add that to our current budget um to our current budget total and that concludes that presentation there we go thank you very much any questions sorry um so these grants will just be added and then they would they help us cover the 1,000 or two separate things two separate things those grants are specifically for school Improvement expenditures which most of those are materials I believe all of those are for materials I believe got it the
011only the only Personnel item would be the 330,000 but um I just want to make sure I understand if the with the potential new bill coming down for the governor we expect to be able to cover the Thousand correct got it well the 330,000 is the bill under Governor's desk we'll need another 200,000 but we'll we should have that uh in vacant position savings I don't yeah I do not need to uh request an additional any additional funds perfect thank you all right any other questions all right all right so this is an action item all right could I get a motion to uh approve we're going to the school board of Manasses Park City uh approved the proposed budget amendment to appropriate an additional $63,800 laor can I get a roll call vote please
