Story County approved its FY27 employee benefits renewal at the April 14 meeting. Human Resources and Internal Operations Director Alissa Wignall reported on a comprehensive review and stated there is "no increase in medical premiums." Broker Jackson Webster of Benefit Source Inc. described improvements including adult orthodontia coverage and said the life insurance carrier will change from New York Life to Mutual of Omaha, with increases in maximum benefits for short‑term and long‑term disability. Flexible spending account limits will be increased to match new federal limits.
Supervisors approved the benefits renewal by roll call (motion by Lisa Heddens; second by Latifah Faisal). The action does not specify benefit plan documents or open‑enrollment dates; HR staff will implement the changes and update employees through standard channels.
