It is the objective of the district administration to meet with all our municipalities in order to explore new ways to cut costs and expand programming to all of our constituents. A joint School Board and Roseville City Council meeting is scheduled for June 25, 2008. Milepost #10: Explore alternative methods of delivering high cost programs and services Responsible District Administrator —John Their Team Composition — District Center Administrators Planning Timeline — Continuous Pilot Project— 916 Cooperative Purchasing Projected Implementation —Ongoing Action to Date: This is an ongoing quest for the district. The 916 cooperative purchasing agreement is one of the new options for the district to reducing overhead. Another example of an "alternative method"' is the district's Insurance Committee's study of the current VEBA health insurance plan. The savings could be significant. The district leadership will continue to "brainstorm"' ideas for low cost, high service arrangements.
