Springdale holds first reading on city contributions to employee HSA/HRA accounts
Summary
Council gave first reading to Ordinance No. 25 20 25 to authorize contributions to employee HSA/HRA accounts for the 2026 plan year, setting contribution limits up to 50% of deductible but not exceeding $1,000 for single coverage or $2,000 for other coverage tiers.
The Springdale City Council on June 4 held the first reading of Ordinance No. 25 20 25, which would authorize the city to contribute to health savings accounts (HSAs) and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) for full-time employees participating in the city's health insurance plan for the 2026 plan year beginning Aug. 1, 2025.
The ordinance states the city will make contributions up to 50% of the deductible for the full year, capped at $1,000 for single coverage and $2,000 for employee-plus-spouse, employee-plus-child or family coverage, provided employees comply with program requirements. Contributions for new full-time employees would be prorated, as set forth in an attached Exhibit A.
Mayor Hawkins told council the contribution formula has been in place since 2010 and has “worked well for the employees.” No council vote was taken; the item will return for a subsequent reading as required by council procedure.
The ordinance text includes the council’s open-meeting finding and cites Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code. The finance officer/tax commissioner would be authorized to take actions necessary to make the contributions if the ordinance is adopted.
