Common Council unanimously approved a motion made by Ward 2 Councillor John MacKenzie to have a public information session on the Shared Risk Plan. Mackenzie says it would be an opportunity for employees and retirees to get first hand information about the plan.
Councillor at large Shirley McAlary wants to ensure that the session is for asking questions only, not to challenge the plan or come in with a new idea. Ward 1 Councillor Greg Norton would like to see a FAQ page set up on the city website in addition to the session, so some questions may be answered in advance.
It's now up to City Manger Pat Woods to find a venue, send out the information and possibly arrange more than one session.
