Health Insurance - Considerable discussion took place regarding
the Group Health Insurance. Alan Drachman informed the Board
that to change the Retiree Group Insurance there needs to be
legislative action, and needs political strategy for legislation
("hill") . Drachman also informed the Board that this does not
have to be bargained, but the Town may want to bargain it. The
Town may want to file a petition to the General Court for a spe-
cial act permitting the Town to supersede any contrary provision
of Chapter 32B or any other general or special law. Stan Nissen
asked if under this program will the rates be "phased in"? Allan
Drachman thinks it is a good idea to phase in.
Police Negotiations
The Town proposed no more than a 5 1/2 increase. They are seek-
ing a night shift differential for Lieutenants and an educational
incentive for Sergeants.
Respectfully submitted: Secretary
