Brown County sets June 15 deadline for alternative health‑insurance proposals
Summary
Commissioners instructed staff to solicit and receive alternative health‑insurance proposals (including Amberwell, Sailor and 1Digital) by June 15 to inform the budget process, and authorized a public forum to hear competing vendor presentations.
Commissioners directed staff to gather formal alternative proposals for county employee health insurance and set a deadline of June 15 for submissions. During the April 27 meeting, county advisers and staff discussed three vendors that have engaged with the county — referred to in the discussion as Amberwell, Sailor and 1Digital — and recommended asking those brokers or firms to submit cost and plan information for review.
One staff member recommended giving vendors six weeks to provide preliminary cost estimates so the commission could review options before the budget cycle. The commission voted to notify the named vendors and to require information in time for a June 15 discussion; commissioners also asked that the district's budget consultant and department heads be looped in so the commission would have multi‑year capital and personnel cost context.
What happens next: staff will notify the named vendors and coordinate a forum for presentations; the commission expects preliminary estimates in time to consider any change during budget planning.
