Soldier Township approves 70/30 health plan for 2022 at $183,052.41 cost
Summary
The Soldier Township Board voted 3-0 to adopt a 70/30 co-insurance health plan for 2022, accepting broker Scott Day's presentation that premiums and deductibles will not rise; the township's total cost for the plan was recorded as $183,052.41.
The Soldier Township Board voted unanimously on Nov. 2 to adopt a new health-insurance arrangement for 2022 that shifts member co-insurance to a 70/30 split while holding premiums and member deductibles steady. The board acted after a presentation by Scott Day of Day Insurance summarizing the renewal terms.
Board member Mike Mathes moved to approve the change, citing the need to keep overall township health expenditures manageable; Member Karl McNorton seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The clerk recorded the township's projected cost for the plan at $183,052.41 for 2022.
Why it matters: health-insurance costs are a recurring pressure on the township budget. Earlier in the meeting Bob Oliva reported General Fund expenditures at roughly 85% of budget and said health insurance remains a concern for 2021 but should stay within budgetary limits. The board's action aims to preserve coverage while containing premium expenses.
