Chickasaw County staff review FY26-27 employee health insurance; no vote recorded on plan details

The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors convened on March 10, 2026, in the boardroom of the Court House in New Hampton and heard a staff review of the county’s proposed health insurance for fiscal year 2026–27.

IGHCP Denise Ballard reviewed the FY26-27 employee health insurance options presented to the board. The transcript records that Ballard provided a staff presentation on health insurance for Chickasaw County employees but does not record any motion, vote, or detailed figures (such as premiums, employee contributions, or benefit changes) arising from that review.

The meeting opened at 9:00 a.m. with Vice-chairperson Scott Cerwinske presiding and supervisors Breitbach, Carter, and Suckow present; Supervisor Hackman was absent. Early in the session Supervisor Suckow moved, and Supervisor Carter seconded, to approve the March 10 agenda. The motion carried by roll call vote (Ayes: Suckow, Carter, Breitbach, Cerwinske). The board recessed at 9:02 a.m. and resumed at 9:12 a.m.

Following the insurance review there was no recorded formal action on the plan. The session concluded with a motion by Supervisor Suckow, seconded by Supervisor Carter, to adjourn at 9:38 a.m.; the motion carried by roll call (Ayes: Suckow, Carter, Breitbach, Cerwinske; Absent: Hackman).

The minutes were attested by Board Secretary Sheila Shekleton and signed by Vice-chairperson Scott Cerwinske. The transcript does not include further detail on proposed changes to coverage or costs, and no deadline or next-step for finalizing the FY26-27 plan is noted.
