ITEM NO. /50*
SUBJECT: Summary Minutes of the Personnel -Risk Management Committee Meeting
The Personnel -Risk Management Committee held a meeting on August 18, 1998. Present were
Michael Beverage, Carl Scanlin, William Robertson and Roger Lubin. The Committee discussed
the following items:
1. Compensation Philosophy. The Committee discussed more details about adopting a
compensation philosophy. This matter is scheduled for one more Committee review and then
presentation to the full Board prior to October.
2. Level 3, PERS Survivor Insurance. Mr. Lubin reported on PERS survivor benefits. The
District's current coverage, Level 1, can be adjusted to Level 3 at a small annual cost of about
$1,300. The increased benefit nearly doubles the monthly compensation to survivors of
employees who die before they retire. Staff will continue to review this matter and present it
near budget time next year.
3. 2% at 55. Mr. Robertson reported that staff has asked PERS for actuarial calculations to
consider adjusting the District's retirement plan from 2% at 60 to 2% at 55. The calculations
are scheduled for completion later this year and then this matter will return to the Committee
for further discussion. No formal Board action is scheduled at this time.
4. Union Issues. Mr. Lubin reported the Teamsters Union has asked their bargaining unit
employees for more support, otherwise continued representation by the Teamsters may not be
in the Union's best interest. The deadline for the bargaining unit to respond is the middle of
September.
5. Other. Mr. Robertson reported on an upcoming small claims court case, the JPIA insurance
premium, and a letter to congressman opposing a proposal to require new employees to join
that Social Security in addition to PERS.
