Mayor Good closed the rural fire association board meeting and entered back into regular session at 7:20 p.m.
Insurance Update. Adam Good updated the council on insurance. Rates are up 4.75%. He encouraged the City to stay with their current health insurance plan as it is a great plan and is grandfathered in prior to the ACA plans. If we were to change it would change premiums of upwards of $1,000+ per month. Council asked City employees if they are currently happy with plans we have, and all agreed that they were. Adam Good will contact City Hall for appropriate signatures to renew current health insurance plans.
