Michele Kimes of Coyle Kiley Insurance presented options for the village's employee health plans on Oct. 7, outlining Blue Cross/Blue Shield plan options for coverage beginning Dec. 1, 2025 through Nov. 30, 2026. Kimes also reviewed accompanying dental, vision and flexible spending arrangements proposed for Jan. 1–Dec. 31, 2026.
Trustees engaged in a lengthy discussion of plan details and cost implications and agreed to continue deliberations at the Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for Oct. 13, 2025. No final plan selection or vote occurred at the Oct. 7 meeting.
Why it matters: health and benefits decisions affect personnel costs and employee coverage; the board's decision on plan design and contributions will determine FY 2026 budget impacts and employee premiums.
