Council approves insurance change and selects lcs.gov as official domain
Summary
The council approved switching employee health coverage to Sigma (with dental/vision through Mutual of Omaha), preserving a $1,000 monthly employee stipend, and unanimously selected lcs.gov as the town's official .gov domain name.
Council approved two administrative items intended to reduce costs and modernize town communications.
Staff recommended switching the town's group health plan from Florida Blue to Sigma, citing a lower premium (a 3% decrease versus a proposed 6% increase) and a one-time credit to the town. The council approved the change and continued the existing $1,000-per-employee monthly health stipend.
The council also voted unanimously to secure the town’s new .gov domain as lcs.gov. Staff said .gov adoption aligns with federal and state guidance, provides official verification and additional security, and is available to the town at no cost; council members favored the short and distinctive LCS identifier for the town's web presence.
Both measures were approved without dissent; staff will implement the insurance change for the July 1 plan year and engage the vendor and IT staff to register and publish the new domain.
