Coffee County commissioners agree to revisit employee insurance; meeting schedule set for Jan. 8
Summary
Commissioners discussed the employee insurance impact of a 5% pay increase and initially agreed to place the item on the December docket; later in the meeting they opted to skip a December meeting and scheduled the next full meeting for Jan. 8 at 5:00 p.m., vowing to include employee insurance on a future agenda so the full commission can act.
Commissioners discussed revisiting employee insurance in light of a 5% pay raise approved earlier in the year and asked that staff bring the matter back for review.
At the start of the meeting a commissioner asked that the commission "come back sometime this time of year, January, December," to consider options for easing the insurance levy for employees so the earlier pay increase would be justified. Commissioners discussed placing the topic on the December agenda so any county action could go to the full commission in January.
Later in the meeting commissioners considered holiday scheduling and ultimately decided not to hold a December meeting. Instead, they set the next full commission meeting for Jan. 8 at 5:00 p.m. Several commissioners said employee insurance would be one of the items on a future agenda; staff were asked to include the item for further review and potential action at the January meeting.
The discussion recorded in the transcript was procedural: commissioners requested additional information and scheduled follow-up rather than adopting a specific change to insurance funding or benefits.
