“On December 8, 2011, the first mediation session was held between the Board and the Association. Subsequent to that meeting, I contacted the B-REA suggesting that we agree to switch from our current private health insurance plan to a state-sponsored plan to reduce the number of items to be negotiated while achieving a savings.
