Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Georgetown City Council received no public comment on the proposed appropriation ordinance. Mayor Darin Readnour said Health Alliance plans to drop group insurance in December; Alder Jack Morrison asked about reserves and the mayor said reserves remain. The council adjourned unanimously.
The Georgetown City Council met June 2, 2025, and received no public comment on the proposed Appropriation Ordinance/Budget. Mayor Darin Readnour told the council there "may be one issue with the health insurance," saying, "Health Alliance is dropping group insurance in December." Alder Jack Morrison asked whether the city’s reserves were affected; the mayor responded that the city still has its reserves.
The exchange was brief: no members of the public spoke during the budget comment period, and council discussion focused on the potential insurance change rather than changes to the appropriation ordinance itself. The mayor’s remark indicates a potential benefits or cost issue for city employees that may require follow-up by staff or future agenda review.
A procedural motion to adjourn was made by Alder Mike Scott and seconded by Alder Jack Morrison; the motion passed unanimously, 6–0, and the meeting adjourned at 6:47 p.m. City Clerk Jacqueline Wilson certified the minutes.
There were no formal votes recorded on the appropriation ordinance during the meeting and no amendments or further council direction documented in the minutes. The mayor’s comment about Health Alliance constitutes a notice of a possible upcoming change in employee health coverage; the minutes do not record any staff report, timeline, or remedy for the coverage change.
