North Fond du Lac trustees approve change to health-insurance opt-out payments for village employees
Summary
The Village Board approved language allowing second and subsequent family members employed by the village to be treated as a single plan for health-insurance opt-out payments. The motion passed 3-1 after a trustee raised concerns about FICA-related costs.
The North Fond du Lac Village Board on Jan. 15 approved an amendment to Human Resources Policy chapter 27 that expands eligibility for health-insurance opt-out payments to treat second and subsequent family members employed by the village as a single plan and eligible for payments.
Administrator Nick Leonard presented the proposed language and provided the board with the current monthly payment amounts and associated FICA costs, which were discussed but not specified in the minutes. Trustee Mike Will said he was "not comfortable expanding this language without some reduction," suggesting the payouts might be reduced by the FICA amount. Trustee Chuck Hornung moved to adopt the change; Trustee Ann Price seconded.
Roll call recorded Hornung-yes, Streetar-yes, Price-yes, Will-no. The motion carried 3-1. The minutes do not list the specific dollar amounts in the record; staff presented totals and FICA impacts but the board did not change the amounts on the floor.
Board members did not record additional implementation steps in the minutes beyond the policy approval. The change will take effect according to the village's personnel policy procedures; no effective date is specified in the minutes.
