Board meetings and strategic plans from Reads Collaborative
The meeting featured an annual presentation by the Investment Manager from Rockland Trust, who provided an administrative review and a detailed performance and portfolio review. Discussion centered on the management of funds and the maintenance of the equity and fixed asset split, with the Investment Manager explaining the investment triage process utilized to ensure portfolio balance.
The meeting addressed concerns about rising health insurance rates affecting employee retention. A shift to the GIC plan was proposed with a potential 60/40 split to alleviate costs for employees while still saving READS money. The board discussed the need for impact bargaining with the union regarding the plan change and potential copay adjustments. Additionally, an update was provided on the purchase of the DHH building, with a final walkthrough scheduled and minor property issues being addressed before closing.
The meeting included an update on the DHH Building located at 399 Old Colony Road, Norton, including the signing of a 3-year contract with Norton Public Schools. There was also a discussion about the progress of updates to the building and a contingency plan in place. The Business Manager shared a video of Old Colony Road and estimated the move would occur around Thanksgiving, with a deadline of December 1, 2025. The subcommittee discussed costs, change orders, and the fund balance, agreeing to use the fund balance to complete the floors and get bids for the flooring.
