The purpose of this ordinance is to establish

A trust to administer funds for post-employment
health benefits is hereby created (the “trust”). The trust
is to be administered by a Board of Trustees.
Beneficiaries of the trust shall be any Town
employees and employees of the Board of Education who:
A.

of Finance or Board of Education has an election, it shall appoint,
or reappoint, a board member to be a trustee for that board member’s
