Dear Dr. Scheuerman:

Article 41 of this Agreement specifies that the State shall seek the appropriation of funds by the Legislature for the purpose of funding mutually agreed upon activities of the Joint Committee on Health Benefits, including the administrative responsibilities of the Joint Committee.

The Comptroller requires a formal agreement on how these funds will be allocated in order to approve their disbursement. Therefore, the State and UUP agree that these appropriations will be allocated to fund either activities of the State or UUP which directly support the responsibilities of the Joint Committee. In no case, however, will more than 50% of these appropriations be allocated either to the State or UUP, individually.

Please sign the enclosed copy of this letter and return it to me for my files.

Sincerely,
Linda Angello, Director
Governor's Office of Employee Relations
