The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 7, 2025, authorized changes to the Ottawa County Health Insurance Plan effective Jan. 1, 2026.

The motion was moved by Commissioner Mark W. Stahl, seconded by Commissioner Donald A. Douglas and approved unanimously by Commissioner Mark E. Coppeler, Commissioner Mark W. Stahl and Commissioner Donald A. Douglas.

The public transcript records the board's authorization but does not list the nature of the changes, the effect on premiums, coverage or employee cost-sharing, nor which vendor or plan design adjustments are involved. Those specifics were not included in the meeting record provided.

Because the transcript does not provide further detail, affected employees and other stakeholders should consult county human resources or the County Administrator's office for the full plan document and summary of changes.
