Starr County approves salary order and health-insurance renewal with cost-sharing
Summary
Starr County Commissioners approved an order of salaries and renewed the county health-insurance plan, agreeing the county and employees will each absorb half of the premium increase.
Starr County Commissioners Court on July 14 approved an order of salaries and a renewal of the county health-insurance plan after an executive-session review. The court met in executive session “pursuant to section 551.074” to discuss salaries and employee benefits, then returned to open session and approved an order of salaries as presented and a health-insurance renewal in which the county will pay half of the premium increase and county employees will pay the other half. The approvals were taken by motion and voice vote during open session. The court did not specify the dollar amount of the premium increase in the public motion. Officials said the benefits renewal was a formal decision following the executive-session discussion. No further details about specific salary amounts or plan carriers were announced at the meeting; officials said one of the executive-session topics required no additional public action. The court adjourned following the formal votes.
