Schley County weighs offering county insurance to commissioners and part‑time employees
Summary
Commissioners discussed allowing elected officials and part‑time staff to buy into the county’s health insurance plan at their own expense; the board considered but did not adopt incentives for employees who have outside coverage.
Chairman Clark opened a discussion at the Dec. 9 working session about permitting commissioners and part‑time employees to purchase coverage under the Schley County insurance policy, provided the employee or elected official pays the full premium.
Commissioners discussed whether to introduce an incentive for employees who already obtain insurance elsewhere but did not reach agreement on any incentive structure. No change to the county’s policy was adopted during the working session, and the record indicates the board will continue to refine the proposal as part of ongoing personnel discussions.
The minutes do not specify premium costs, plan design, eligibility beyond the broad categories discussed, or an implementation timeline.
