Council agrees to continue employee insurance arrangement pending next review
Summary
Council discussed town-paid insurance reimbursements, noted a $2,000 deductible and low payout last year, and approved a motion to continue the current arrangements until the next evaluation (anticipated in October).
Council discussed whether the town should continue paying employee insurance reimbursements, which had been provided as a hardship benefit in prior years. Staff and council members noted the deductible level ($2,000) and that payouts had been limited in the prior year; one councilmember argued it would be unfair to rescind the benefit without clear notice to employees.
Councilmember S4 moved to continue the current insurance arrangement until the next evaluation (around October); the motion was seconded and carried. Members asked staff to bring a formal evaluation to the next review period and to clarify any coverages or limitations in written policy.
