benefits are needed so that women could become more independent. Thi5 s study evaluated how the fringe benefits of today meet the needs of today. Verla Insko listed the five recommendations: (1) A copy of the report with a covering letter should be sent to the 220 originally surveyed Orange County employers and to other county employers who could use the report to evaluate their own employee benefit package. Employers should be urged to (1.) consider a cafeteria- style approach and (2) survey their employees if necessary to obtain information on which benefits are needed but not offered. (2) A copy of this report should be sent to the North Carolina Legislative Study Commission reviewing cafeteria style benefits for state employees. (3) Employees of Orange County government should be surveyed to determine the need for additional benefits and the feasibility of a cafeteria-style approach. (4) The Orange County Board of Commissioners should form an intergovernmental task force charged to determine, through a survey or other appropriate means, the need for cafeteria style benefit plans. (5) The Commission for Women and the Orange County Board of Commissioners, at an appropriate time, should sponsor for the public and private sector a forum on the cafeteria-style fringe benefit concept. Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to adopt the report requesting that the Commission for Women address the first two recommendations as soon as possible, address recommendation three during the 1986-87 Fiscal Year and look at the possibility of including the forum in their budget for 86-87 and that recommendation five not be addressed until the forum is completed.
