Sarah Misener stated that she anticipates the applications to continue to rise as more and more employees learn of and become eligible for the benefit. A council member asked Pam to clarify the benefit reimbursement. The academic year would begin in August of each year through July of the following year. Samantha has volunteered to take over the web page for the Council. The transition will take some time.
Issues continue to update their own web page.
Pam Zarazee will work with Jay Yech to get separate passwords for each of the two web pages. Pam also shared with the Council that the Council's web page can be accessed off the Human Resources web page by just clicking on Staff Advisory Council. Dan thanked Samantha for taking on the maintenance of the Council's web page. The Council discussed the issue of retirement benefits at great length. A few questions surfaced during the discussion that Sarah Misener will look into to get the information back to the Council.
