The board adopted the district’s proposal from the special magistrate process, a package totaling approximately $56.6 million in salary increases, benefits and supplements.

The package also consolidates four district health insurance plans into two. SureFit will retain its $0-premium, employee-only option through the AdventHealth network. The new OA Plus plan will replace Plans A, B and C, offering a broader network.
In a separate motion, the board committed operational funds made available through Property Appraiser litigation to a one-time employee supplement. Payment amounts and distribution details have not been finalized.
