SOS v. San Diego County Board of Supervisors: The judge did not award attorney's fees at the February 9, 2024 hearing as there is no official "judgement" in the case. A dismissal stipulation has been signed off by the court with the hearing on attorney's fees set for August 2, 2024.

SOS v. SDCOE: Next hearing has been rescheduled from March 1, 2024 to May 31, 2024. Since our first settlement offer has expired with no response from SOS counsel, a second offer was sent to SOS counsel on 2.7.24 which also expired on 2.16.24 with no response. We received a public records request for documents related to the purchase and sale of the Chase property and our communication with SDCOE regarding the Material Revision to relocate and operate LCHS at the Chase property once construction was completed. SDCOE and LFCS are pursuing a third settlement offer. Mediation occurred on March 29 but no final settlement was reached. SDCOE counsel is drafting final settlement language.

The CBO recommends the board approve the 2024-25 Health, Vision, Dental insurance renewal. LFCS plans to renew the current Sharp and Kaiser plans with the Difference Card cost sharing feature to help mitigate the rising costs of health care. Sharp premiums rose 3.5%. Kaiser costs rose 8.5%. Out of the projected savings to the school, LFCS also plans to increase its per employee contribution for health, vision, and dental insurance from $11,000 to $12,000. The rest of the savings to the school will go toward maintaining the 2% step in the salary schedules within a state budget projected to have a .76% COLA. The Difference Card will also now cover all co-pays for office visits and urgent care so employees no longer need to pay with their Difference Card and with their credit card.

The CBO recommends the board approve the $2,000,000 CD for 12 months at 3.95% beginning May 2, 2024. The expected yield is $79,216.44.  The current rate is 4.4%. The current rate with the county treasury is 3.89%. Interest rates are expected to drop over the next 12 months.

The 3.95% rate would require ECSFCU staff an opportunity to share their products and services with our staff during training week which we have planned to do for over a year but have not organized yet.  Services include ECSFCU forwarding members half of their monthly salary on the 15th of each month when employees are paid monthly to help with cash flow. They also deliver banking services in person at school sites (deliver cashier's checks, etc). Otherwise, the rate would be 3.7%.
