Muni Health Update

Yes, it's been too long, and I apologize. Re Muni Health -- since the Council tabled the motion to adopt the Muni Health guidelines, Director Lane Kelly has been meeting weekly with representatives from all 13 town unions to discuss options for reform. The plan is to meet until mid-December, when Director Kelly will present a proposal for the unions to vote on, within 30 days. I look forward to hearing next month's update and hope that all parties have been having constructive and ongoing dialogue about this issue.

Informational Meeting 9/14/11 -- Muni Health Care

An informational Town Council meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, 9/14, at 6:30 pm, GHS cafeteria. Core topic is the Municipal Health Reform Act. If you or someone you know has concerns, feedback, perspective -- please attend and share. I am interested in hearing more local voices about this issue as we continue to gather information. The Town Council will be voting on this issue in next week's meeting, 9/21 at 7pm, GCTV studios.

If you can't attend, please feel free to email me any feedback in advance of the meeting.

Also on the agenda for tomorrow night is emergency financing due to hurricane damage. A substantial portion may be eligible for reimbursement from federal and state disaster relief funds. The Recorder has coverage of this issue in today's paper.
