Controller warns of steep employee health premium increases; public comments follow
Summary
County Controller Paul Compo told commissioners the county's insurance plan shows a 28.3% overall increase and projected employee premium increases from about 68% up to nearly 200%; staff and a sheriff's representative later raised concerns during extended public comment.
County Controller Paul Compo told the Crawford County Board of Commissioners on March 12 that the county's current health insurance plan shows an overall increase of 28.3% for the plan year beginning May 1, and warned that the projected increase for employees "ranges from 68% to close to 200%." He said open enrollment will be held in April while staff explores alternative options to limit employee liability.
During extended public comment later in the meeting, Detective Sergeant Klepadlo and Commissioner Moeller offered remarks concerning employee health plans, though the minutes do not record specific remedial actions. The board asked staff to continue investigating alternatives and to report back before open enrollment, and no benefit changes were adopted at this meeting.
