BOARD AGENDA ITEM 4a
TO:
Board of Directors
FROM:
Nancy Hussmann, Human Resources Director
MEETING DATE:
December 4, 2008
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Managers' Short/Long-Term Disability & Life Insurance
Programs
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Approve Reliance Standard as the carrier for the
above insurance programs; and (2) Approve life insurance benefit level to one-time
annual salary.
DISCUSSION:
1. Currently the Management Group has Long-Term Disability Insurance through
The Standard. The benefit amount is taxable, paid at 70% to a maximum of
$5,000 and offsetting the benefit amount by amounts received by State Disability
Insurance. BB&H Benefit Designs, Inc., was able to market this program and
received a proposal for a combined short-term and long-term disability policy
through Reliance Standard. The short-term disability policy will pay 20% of base
salary to $1,000 after a 30 day waiting period. The long-term disability policy will
then kick in and pay 60% to $10,500 after a 180 day waiting period. Estimated
annual premium is $14,929.56, which is less than the current $15,575.20 annual
premium with the existing plan.
2. The Management Group currently participates in the same life insurance policy
as the Union - $70,000 benefit level through The Hartford. During management
contract negotiations, a benefit level of one times annual earnings to a maximum
of $200,000 was requested. Annual premium for this increase is estimated at
$5,575.20, which is higher than the current $3,479.28 annual premium cost.
The increase in cost for the Life Insurance program change is offset by the decrease
in cost for the Management Group's Long-Term Disability program. The L TD
insurance is reduced by approximately $2,659/year, and the Life Insurance is
increased by $2,095 per year, with a net savings to the District of approximately
$564. The new plans would be implemented effective January 1, 2009.

Board of Directors
FROM:
Nancy Hussmann, Human Resources Director
Paul Hughes, Chief Financial Officer
MEETING DATE:
December 4, 2008
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Employee Benefits Plan 2009 Renewal
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: (1) Renew Excess Insurance Policy with Gerber Life
Insurance Company, with a specific deductible level of $65,000; (2) Approve funding
level for plan in the amount of $1 ,800 per employee per month; (3) Approve COBRA
rates for 2009 as follows: Single Dental $80; Family Dental $225; Single Medical $900;
Family Medical $2200.
DISCUSSION: BB&H Benefit Designs, Inc., the District's consultant for the self-insured
Employee Benefits Plan, went out for proposal for the Excess Insurance Company and
received only one other proposal, with the remaining carriers declining to quote due to
the current insurance industry in combination with the District's demographics, The
renewal proposal from Gerber Life Insurance Company was the most competitive
renewal proposal.
Staff met with the Finance Committee on NoVember 20,2008, to discuss all aspects of
the renewal. The Finance Committee concurred with staff that renewing with Gerber,
with a specific level of $65,000 is the best option for the District at this time, Fixed
premium costs may be reduced even further by Gerber quoting a "15/12" policy rather
than the "24/12" quote that was provided, A 15/12 policy covers claims incurred during
the last three months of the plan year, but paid during the current 12 month plan year.
Staff also discussed with the Finance Committee the appropriate funding level of $1 ,800
per employee per month and the Finance Committee concurred that this level of funding
would cover anticipated fixed and claims liability costs.
COBRA continuation coverage is offered to eligible participants per federal law,
Participants electing COBRA continuation coverage pay the applicable COBRA rate
plus a 2% administrative fee, Each year, (,;!~F?ticable COBRA rates are established

consistent with the prior year's actual claim experience, in conjunction with the current
plan renewal issues, As required under COBRA regulations, a two-tier rate structure
must be provided, and participants can elect to continue coverage for either medical or
dental, or both, Based upon recommendation from BB&H Benefit Designs, and with the
concurrence of the Finance Committee, the above COBRA rates will accurately cover
actual COBRA costs,

Consum ption Disposal
This system is in crisis because it is a linear system. We live on a finite planet
and you cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely. (by Dr. Paul
Connett is a full and tenured professor of chemistry at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York,
where he has taught for 15 years. He obtained his undergraduate degree in natural sciences from
Cambridge University and his Ph.D. in chemistry from Dartmouth College.)
Consumption
Sustainability is about changing human behavior, We are a nation of consumers and
unless we change our behavior we will jeopardize our ability to meet our future needs.
Shortly after the World War 2, economist designed an economy making consumption
a way of life, President Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisors Chairman said,
"The American economy's ultimate purpose is to produce more consumer goods,"
(Not provide health care, or education, or safe transportation, or sustainability or
justice?)(47)
After 9/11, when our country was in shock, President Bush suggested that people go
shopping, Much has been written about Bush's statements encouraging people in the
U,S, to go shopping in the aftermath of the 9/11 disaster. (43)
The U.S, has 5% of the world's population but we're consuming 30% of the world's
resources (13) and creating 30% of the world's waste, (14) If everybody consumed at
U,S, rates, we would need 3 to 5 planets, (15)
In the United States, we have less than 4% of our original forests left.(11) Forty
percent of waterways have become undrinkable.(12) And our problem is not just that
we're using too much stuff, but we're using more than our share,

True: Costs vs, Externalizing Costs
Annie Leonard from, The Story of Stuft,com writes:
I popped into this Radio Shack to buy a radio. I found this cute little green radio for 4
dollars and 99 cents. I was wondering how $4,99 could possibly capture the costs of
making this radio and getting it here, The metal was probably mined in South Africa,
the petroleum was probably drilled in Iraq, the plastics were probably produced in
China, and maybe the whole thing was assembled by some 15 year old in a
maquiladora (40) in Mexico, $4.99 wouldn't even pay the rent for the shelf space it
occupied until I came along, let alone part of the staff guy's salary that helped me pick
it out, or the multiple ocean cruises and truck rides pieces of this radio went on.
That's how I realized; I didn't pay for the radio, So, who did pay? Well, These people
paid with the loss of their natural resource base, the loss of their clean air and
diminishing health, They even have to cover their own health insurance (42). All along
this system, people pitched in so I could get this radio for $4,99, And none of these
contributions are recorded in any accounts book, The company owners externalize the
true costs of production.

Planned Obsolescence
Planned obsolescence is another word for "designed for the dump" (50). It means they
actually make stuff that is designed to be useless as quickly as possible so we will
chuck it and go buy a new one, It's obvious with stuff like plastic bags and coffee
cups, but now it's even big stuff: mops, DVDs, cameras and even barbeques (51), B
The designers are open about it; they discuss how fast they can make stuff break and
still leave the consumer with enough faith in the product to buy another one (53).
Perceived Obsolescence
Fashion is prime example of this, Have you ever wondered why women's shoe heels
go from fat one year to skinny the next? It is not because there is some debate about
which heel structure is the healthiest for women's feet. It's because wearing fat heels
in a skinny heel year shows everyone that you are out of style or not cool,

Annie Leonard, "I've have had the same fat white computer monitor on my desk for 5
years. My co-worker just got a new computer. She has a flat shiny sleek flat screen
monitor. It matches her computer, her phone and her pen stand, She looks like she
is in space ship central and I look like I have a washing machine on my desk."

99% Trash in 6 Months
99 percent of the stuff we run through this system is trashed within 6 months,
This statement is not saying that 99 percent of the stuff we buy is trashed,
The statement says 99% of the total material flow through the system, the stuff we
harvest, mine, process and transport, is trashed within 6 months,
For example, there is nearly 2 million tons of mining waste for every one ton of gold
produced; that translates into about 20 tons of mine waste created to make one gold
wedding ring. We cannot run a planet at this rate of material consumption,
~.... -. ~

"'., ,..
\.~ .

.'
...
l .
Think beyond our households to the upstream waste created in the extraction
of the raw materials, the production, the packaging, the transportation and
selling of all the stuff we buy.
The next business frontier is rethinking everything we consume; what is
does, where it comes from, where it goes, and how we can keep on getting its
service. (44)
