Summary

Ivins City approved a resolution adopting employee core benefits for the coming year, keeping overall coverage but adding a higher Health Savings Account (HSA) matching incentive and moving the city's HSA contribution to an up-front annual deposit.

The Ivins City Council approved a staff recommendation to maintain core employee benefits for 2026 and to adjust the Health Savings Account (HSA) incentive structure.

Under the approved package (resolution 2025-21R), the city will continue existing medical coverage options but will change the timing and matching for HSA contributions: the city will deposit the employer HSA contribution earlier in the year (a single deposit in January, prorated for mid-year hires) and will match employee HSA contributions up to $500, creating a combined potential HSA contribution (employer deposit plus match) of up to about $2,000 for employees who participate fully.

Staff noted the change is intended to encourage enrollment in the HSA plan, which historically has lower premiums and is cheaper for the city, and that preliminary budget modeling shows the city's overall health-cost forecast remains within assumed budget targets for FY26.

Council approved the resolution by roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously.
