DART’s board postponed discussion on a plan to offer domestic partner benefits to its employees today.
The plan, which would offer healthcare benefits to opposite- and same-sex partners of employees, wasn’t discussed at the three-hour meeting of DART’s committee-of-the-whole because time ran out for the issue to be addressed.
The board considered the plan last Tuesday but didn’t vote to approve it, deciding to discuss it further during today’s meeting.
The plan was approved three weeks ago by the administrative committee but must be approved twice by the committee-of-the-whole before being approved by the Board of Directors.
The board will take up the issue again March 26 and could vote for the plan’s first approval or request more information. The board would again consider the issue April 9 for a second approval before a formal vote on the plan on April 23.
