Summary

Human Resources Clerk Cole told the McDonald County Commission at its Oct. 21, 2024 meeting that McDonald County is potentially facing an 8% increase to current health insurance premiums for 2025. Cole said the county is awaiting final 2025 rates from the MAGIC Consortium before enrollment details are finalized.
The minutes describe the 8% figure as potential; the commission did not take formal action on benefits or approve any funding changes during the meeting. The minutes do not provide a breakdown of which employee groups the estimate would affect, the total dollar impact on the county budget, or whether the county plans to change plan design or employee contributions.
The commission reconvened Oct. 23, 2024, and the minutes were approved and filed (Book PP pg. 492).
