Aldermen vote to send benefit-broker selection to full board for April 15 review

The committee on human resource insurance voted to forward the benefit-broker selection and related RFP materials to the full Manchester Board Mayor & Aldermen so aldermen can ask questions at the board meeting on April 15.

Committee members had submitted a communication identifying the broker chosen through the benefit-broker request for proposals process; a committee representative said the submission was “a letter, as an informational item, indicating who was chosen as a result of the process.” Alderman Cantor moved to forward the material to the full board; Alderman Sapienza seconded the motion. The motion passed by voice vote.

The committee did not provide further details in the meeting about the identity of the selected broker or the evaluation scoring; the representative described the item as informational. The motion directs the full board to review the materials and address outstanding questions at the April 15 meeting. No formal vote tally by name was recorded in the committee minutes.

The committee had listed the item as “communication from the insurance broker selection committee regarding the results of the benefit broker RFP process.” The committee chair and staff did not add new information about contract terms, costs, or the reasons for selection during the discussion. The committee closed the item after the motion to forward was approved.
