City Council - Nov 4, 2026
City health insurance costs are spiking because of heavy claims, including weight-loss drugs that ran about $220,000 a year. The new plan raises the deductible to $8,000 but the city's HSA money keeps family coverage around $300 a month for employees. Wellness programs are being explored to curb future costs.
