Fleming County approves Anthem coverage, $515 monthly contribution and advances FY2020–21 budget readings
Summary
The Fiscal Court unanimously selected Anthem as the county’s FY2020–2021 health insurance provider, agreed to contribute $515 per month toward employee premiums, approved a magistrates’ cost-of-living increase, and conducted first readings of budget ordinances.
Fleming County Fiscal Court on May 12 approved several fiscal and personnel items, including a change in employee health insurance and progress on the county budget for FY2020–2021.
After discussion of employee health insurance proposals, the court voted unanimously to select Anthem as the county’s new provider for FY2020–2021 and to contribute $515.00 per month as the county’s portion of employee premiums. The transcript records the motion and unanimous vote but does not record a public explanation of comparative premium rates or the specific plan design selected.
Separately, the court approved first readings of two budget-related ordinances: Ordinance 20-1308 (a Budget Amendment) and Ordinance 20-1303 (FY2020–2021 Budget) with approved changes. The court also approved a Preapproved Recurring Expenses Order for FY2020–2021 and unanimously approved a cost-of-living increase for magistrates for the coming fiscal year.
Financial oversight actions included unanimous approval of the County Treasurer’s month-end April 30, 2020 report showing county funds totaling $1,845,093.51 with fund-level detail supplied to the court, and acceptance of budget transfers, cash transfers and claims reports. The court reaffirmed prior emergency ordinances related to employee pay and layoff procedures during a declared emergency.
The court did not record specific premium-dollar comparisons or the exact plan variant within Anthem during the meeting; those procurement and plan-selection documents are not part of the transcript.
