The Town Board approved a Memorandum of Agreement with CSEA Local 1000 covering the Blue Collar, Clerical, and Water Utilities units to resolve disputes over HRA versus HRD health account funding and related PERB charges. The MOA outlines how past charges will be corrected, sets a December 31, 2029 spend-down deadline for HRA balances, ends new HRA contributions retroactive to January 1, 2026, and commits the Town to maintain its current high deductible health plan or comparable successor through December 31, 2028 for existing employees. This is an executed labor and benefits agreement, not an open RFP, but it flags ongoing and future needs for benefits administration, compliance, and plan design support, especially as the Town negotiates healthcare coverage for employees hired after MOA ratification and considers adding vision coverage.Benefits consultants, TPAs, and HR/benefits technology vendors can use this as timing intelligence to approach the Town about supporting plan administration changes, HRA/HRD accounting, and future bargaining-related benefit redesign.

MOA includes a commitment to negotiate possible vision coverage and future healthcare for new hires, creating potential future procurements for benefits, carriers, or admin systems.
