Council conditionally approves possible 2025 health-insurance change after projected savings review
Summary
Council authorized switching health insurance providers for 2025 if estimated termination costs do not exceed $42,000; staff said changing from Benecon to Municipal Benefit Services could save the borough about $13,730 per year.
Cindy Wells reported that staff and Councilor Brian Osborn met with Municipal Benefit Services to evaluate switching health insurance providers for borough employees. The estimate shown to council indicated an annual savings of $13,730 if the borough changed from Benecon to MBS, but there would be termination/run-out costs. Council moved to change providers for 2025 only if estimated termination costs would not exceed $42,000.
The minutes record that Councilor Osborn moved and Councilor Steadman seconded the conditional motion. The minutes also record that Councilors Riley Cross and James Kerns abstained from voting; the minutes do not provide a clear numerical vote tally.
