Summary
Clerk Jayme said Blue Cross Blue Shield medical premiums will increase 18.7% (from $807.20 to $958.54 monthly); trustees voted to renew the policy at the higher rate after discussing limited alternative options.
Clerk Jayme reported the village's Blue Cross Blue Shield medical premium would rise 18.7, from $807.20 to $958.54 per month; dental premiums were increasing by about $6 per month and prescription benefits saw a small rise. She asked the board whether to renew or seek other carriers, and Trustee Dees moved to renew the policy; Trustee Paso seconded and the motion carried with an all-ayes vote.
Trustees discussed briefly that marketplace coverage options often show similar increases and directed staff to proceed with renewal to avoid a lapse in employee coverage.
