City Clerk Karen Clemens explained the possible changes to the employee health insurance plan. When the ACA (American Cares Act) was passed in 2010 the City has able to keep their grandfathered health insurance plan with Wellmark/BCBS. The employee contribution rate has now surpassed what is deemed acceptable by the ACA. July1, 2023 the employee portion of health insurance premium has changed to 14%. This percentage has changed over the years as stipulated by the Union Agreement. After receiving quotes from additional companies, the premiums are increasing by 43-70%, for both the Employer and Employee. A possibility to keep our grandfathered plan involves approving a MOU with the union keeping the employee percentage at 13% retroactive to July 1, 2023; discussions for changes in the Union Agreement will take place with negotiations this fall.
