Council approves resolution authorizing council-members’ participation options in state insurance program
Summary
Lancaster council approved Resolution 24-24 to consent to an addendum with the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority about council members' participation in the state insurance benefits program; roll call recorded yes votes from council members Harris, Jones and Marsh and the resolution was presented as approved.
The Lancaster City Council voted to approve Resolution 24-24, consenting to an addendum with the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority that clarifies municipal council members’ participation in the state employee insurance program and provides a one-time irrevocable option to opt out of participation.
Council members discussed that the change is a board-level action recognizing council members as employees for insurance purposes. Under the addendum, council members who wish to remain in the program will indicate participation by signing the required form; those who choose the opt-out option would forfeit further council-member participation rights under the program as described in the addendum.
A motion to approve the resolution was made and the roll call recorded council member Harris, council member Jones and council member Marsh voting “yes.” The mayor’s roll-call entry follows in the transcript; the meeting recorded the resolution as approved. The transcript does not include the recorded mover and seconder for the motion.
The resolution was presented as an administrative item; the council did not attach additional budgetary instructions or policy amendments in the recorded discussion.
