Summary
The City of Knox council voted to adopt Resolution 2026‑4 to implement a cafeteria plan for certain employee insurance premiums; the treasurer explained the program’s pretax mechanics during her report.
The City of Knox council adopted Resolution 2026‑4, titled the City of Knox cafeteria plan, after a motion and second from council members.
"I'll make a motion to approve and adopt resolution number 2026 r EDash 4," said Council Member (S3) when introducing the item; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The resolution was presented as a measure to formalize payroll pretax deductions for certain insurance premiums.
