Board keeps 'The Local Choice' as FY27 health insurer, approves same plan rates
Summary
Bland County supervisors voted unanimously to remain with The Local Choice and adopt FY27 rates using the same plan options as FY26, a decision the board said preserves continuity for employees while staff continue budget planning.
Bland County supervisors voted March 24 to retain The Local Choice as the county's health insurance provider and to adopt FY27 rates using the same plans offered in FY26. Patrick Groseclose moved the motion and Keith Costello seconded; the roll call vote was recorded as unanimous.
The decision came during the County Administrator's items when the board considered employee benefit options for the upcoming fiscal year. The motion as recorded in the minutes was to "stay with The Local Choice as the health insurance provider and to adopt the health insurance rates for FY27 with the same plans as offered in FY26." Board members did not request changes to coverage levels during the discussion.
County Administrator Cameron Burton and staff will include the adopted FY27 insurance rates in the updated budget forecast and present any downstream budget impacts at the upcoming budget work sessions. The board moved the county's calendar for budget work sessions later in April to accommodate additional review time.
