County to waive employee and employer insurance deductions for two pay periods; cost estimated at $151,000
Summary
The commissioners approved a committee recommendation to waive both employee and employer payroll deductions for health insurance on the Nov. 21 and Dec. 5, 2025 pay dates, with an estimated cost of $151,000 to the county.
Unidentified Speaker 2 reported the health-insurance committee reviewed fund balances and recommended waiving employee and employer payroll deductions for two pay periods toward the end of 2025. The committee said fund balances had recovered to 2023 levels and expected reinsurance reimbursements, supporting the temporary waiver.
"The cost of doing that, the total cost for those 2 pays is a $151,000," Unidentified Speaker 2 said. The committee recommended waiving payroll deductions on Nov. 21 and Dec. 5, 2025. A motion to approve the waiver was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded dissent.
The transcript does not specify which fund will absorb the cost beyond the committee's statement that the health insurance fund balance is healthy; no implementation timetable or formal policy language was recorded in the meeting minutes beyond the motion and vote.
