City addresses city employee insurance

City addresses city employee insurance

The Corning City Council met at 6 p.m. on Monday, December 14 at the M.B. Ainley, Jr. Community Center for the last regular city council meeting of 2020. All councilmen were in attendance with the exception of Trent McKinney. After regular protocol to begin municipal meetings and the approval of minutes, income, expense reports and purchase order and bills, Mayor Ahrent began addressing the Old Business of employee insurance; particularly insurance for employees only. He explained that the change would be for new hires only, not for the existing employees that are currently on the payroll. Ahrent said, “I’ve talked to the County and that’s all they’re providing for is employee only insurance. That’s kind of the direction we’d like to move towards.” The city would gradually come out from under the financial burden of including payment for employees’ family insurance as employees retire or leave city employment in the future.
