Summary
The committee approved the 2026 employee benefit design after HR committee review; staff reported an expected 9.5% increase in health insurance rates for 2026.
On Sept. 9, 2025, the City Finance Committee approved the proposed 2026 benefit design for city and CCIT employees and forwarded the recommendation to the full council. The item had been reviewed the previous day by the HR Committee.
Committee members heard staff say that health insurance premiums for 2026 increased by 9.5%, a smaller rise than earlier expectations. A member noted that adding CCIT to the pooled risk mix should help moderate rates because it increases the enrollment pool.
Alder Watson moved the recommendation; Alder Henke seconded. The motion carried by voice vote and will proceed to council review.
