Council moves workers' compensation to Montana State Fund, selects Sietz as agent
Summary
With MMIA dropping coverage, the council approved switching to the Montana State Fund — saving about $450 annually — and authorized hiring Sietz as the insurance agent (recommended because Jefferson County uses them).
City Clerk/Treasurer Rosemary Perna told Council that Montana Municipal Interlocal Authority (MMIA) was dropping workers' compensation coverage and that the Montana State Fund would be the best alternative for Boulder, saving roughly $450 per year compared with MMIA.
Perna said she contacted two insurance agencies and recommended Sietz, the agent used by Jefferson County, noting she had met the agent (named Jamie) and found them knowledgeable and personable. Dawson moved to switch coverage to the Montana State Fund and to hire Sietz as the insurance agent; Taylor seconded and the motions carried with three aye votes.
Perna provided emails from the contacted insurance agents to the Council as background; the minutes do not record additional underwriting or rate details beyond the estimated annual savings.
