During the budget review, staff noted line items added to reflect rising costs for independent medical examinations (IME) and miscellaneous expenses. "We do build in for miscellaneous 6,000," the staff member said, and then explained IME cost trends: "It used to be between 4 and 5,000. It's now between more like 5 and 7,500. So I billed in 10,000."
The staff member said the $10,000 figure was conservative to cover one or more expensive IMEs and to keep the plan budgeted for likely scenarios. Trustees did not challenge the amounts during the meeting but noted they would review details in the next budget cycle.
