Williamson County records committee-approved Section 125 plan amendments, switches dental coverage to Cigna
Summary
The commission approved a resolution documenting committee-authorized amendments to the county's Section 125 pre-tax benefits plan, including updating the dental carrier to Cigna and other routine restatement language; the committee is authorized to approve such changes without full-commission action, and the resolution was used to formally notify the commission.
Williamson County commissioners approved a resolution recording amendments to the county's Section 125 pre-tax benefits plan that the county purchase and insurance committee had already authorized.
A county presenter identified in the transcript as Speaker 5 said the committee was previously given oversight of the plan (circa 2015) and the authority to approve amendments without bringing each change before the full commission; the resolution is being used to document that committee action. Speaker 3, who discussed the document text, said the primary update on the final page was a change of dental carrier to Cigna effective Jan. 1 and that a few other language updates were included in the restatement.
Commissioners confirmed this is the routine restatement process that happens about every five years, and Speaker 3 said there was "new language" in the document. A motion to approve the resolution was made and approved by voice vote; the transcript records ayes but does not include a roll-call tally.
The resolution serves as formal notice to the commission that the committee has exercised its delegated authority; the record indicates the committee will continue to oversee routine administration and future amendments consistent with that delegation.
