City Council approved adding two new deductibles for Retiree Health coverage in November 2024. Within weeks city staff learned the option selected was not legal unless the city changed health plan providers. Internal documents indicate management planned to bring the increased cost back to Council in early 2025. That did not happen.
This explains why new Councilperson Mary Coffey was unaware of the development. She explored restoring the planned benefit cut in a strategic planning meeting. Other members of the public may have surprised to hear of this change.
City retirees got the good news from staff in early January 2025. I'm sure it was a relief for many.
