    2. Unfinished Business<\/span>\n
        \n
      1. Healthcare questionnaire discussion (Sarah). Summary of healthcare responses can be viewed at this <\/span>link<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\n
          \n
        1. Further discussion: A policy suggestion or idea is as follows: Once you\u2019ve been working here for 6 months, there is a medical fund up to $200 per year that you may use. We want the process to require the least amount of administrative work and information as possible. Revisit at next meeting under unfinished business.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Diedre did some research on this and we would need to establish a QSEHRA (qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement) and do the admin for it. We would have to determine if an employee has minimum essential coverage AND we would have to know their premium tax credit (applied to insurance through the Marketplace at a discount) because our $200\/year = $17\/month and reduces the amount of monthly credit the employee can have. The easy way to do this is to give employees the $200 as a taxable fringe benefit and hope they use it on medical expenses.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Possible language for employee contract: Once you\u2019ve been working here for 6 months, there is a medical fund up to $200 per year that you may use for health and wellness. <\/span><\/li>\n
        4. Marylee will talk with Diedre about how to distribute and track these funds.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

          4. Green Space: the Don & Lois Yochem Park\u2026\u2026or in memory of \u2026\u2026. ? Think about it and decide at next meeting. \u00a0Yochem Memorial Park?<\/span><\/li>\n

          6. FYA Strategic Plan: core purpose, values, plan to revisit core values with staff, board and key volunteers, etc. At 1:38, lasting for about ten minutes, she makes a strong point about DNA, who you are, what changes, and what doesn\u2019t change. Really good intro for new board members.
