DISCUSSION
Rep. Hopper expressed concern of appointing replacement of congress members. He suggested changing the by-laws to allow appointed members to fulfill the appointed term rather than for the remainder of the year. It was brought up that by-laws were made to keep from having a majority of congress members being appointed rather than elected.
Tuition Waiver for Retirees has not been sent to the Employees Benefits Committee. Rep. Thacker will need to bring this issue up at the next meeting.
Group Life Insurance for employees and retirees were discussed.
The on-line insurance form was misleading when making changes to the 2002 insurance options.
