Summary
Council adopted Resolution R30‑20‑25 to allow EyeMed Vision Care to provide optional vision insurance to full‑time city employees and elected officials, and approved Ordinance O17‑20‑25 amending chapter 141 to add the vision benefit.
Troy City Council on Monday adopted measures to make optional vision insurance available to eligible full‑time city employees and elected officials.
Council adopted Resolution R30‑20‑25 authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety to execute an application with EyeMed Vision Care LLC to provide optional vision insurance and declaring the measure an emergency. Council then adopted Ordinance O17‑20‑25 to amend Section 141.05 of the City of Troy codified laws to include the vision coverage benefit.
Minutes read into the record indicate the Personnel Committee had recommended preparing legislation to authorize an application with EyeMed and to amend Chapter 141 benefit provisions to include the voluntary vision insurance plan. The minutes (from the June 2 meeting) list committee actions and the first readings for the resolution and ordinance.
On Monday the council moved to suspend the rules on both measures and to adopt them. The motion to suspend Resolution R30‑20‑25 was offered by Council member Pierce and seconded by Council member Schilling; the motion to adopt was made by Council member William Twist and seconded by Council member Schilling. Roll calls recorded all members present voting yes and the resolution was adopted.
Later in the agenda the council considered Ordinance O17‑20‑25.
