Committee forwards expanded Section 125 benefit resolution, estimates small county cost
Summary
The committee voted to forward a resolution to let more county employees participate in a Section 125 plan; staff said roughly 24 employees already participate and expansion would cover roughly 350 more, with an estimated county cost of about $15,000 annually.
Julie (county staff) presented a resolution that would extend Section 125 pre‑tax benefit options to a broader set of county employees. Committee members asked whether those enrolling had previously declined the plan and Julie clarified that roughly 24 employees are already enrolled and the change would extend eligibility to about 350 other county employees.
Committee members asked about the fiscal impact; staff estimated the county cost at roughly $15,000 per year (clarified during the meeting as an estimate for the added participation) and committee members discussed the employee‑retirement timing for many initial enrollees. The committee voted to forward the resolution to the full county board (motion by Craig Emmett, second by Mr. Small) and approved forwarding on a voice vote.
Next steps: The resolution will appear on the county board agenda for formal consideration and any fiscal impacts will be tracked during the adoption process.
