FISCAL IMPACT: These recommended changes to the health plan result in significant reductions in the County’s long term liabilities and will significantly add to the County’s overall fiscal stability and ability to deliver services. Moreover, the anticipated savings from agreed upon temporary absences will help to alleviate the current local fiscal impact caused by reductions in assessed valuation and related decline in property taxes revenues.
