The council authorized a conditional motion to change health insurance providers for 2025 if termination costs do not exceed $42,000; Manager Wells and Councilor Brian Osborn said the switch could save about $13,730 a year.
Cindy Wells and Councilor Brian Osborn reported meeting with Municipal Benefit Services to evaluate borough employee health insurance options and said preliminary estimates indicate a potential annual savings of about $13,730 by switching from Benecon to MBS.
