The Centre City Council is looking to do whatever they can to help their employees cope with the cost of Health Insurance as cost are on the rise as a result of President Obama’s Affordable Health Care Act.

On Monday members of the Council met at City Hall to discuss what proactive steps they can to take to make things a little easier on every employee who is on the city’s insurance plan.

During the last meeting, the Council voted to stay with Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Alabama and by doing so will save $1,100, however Health Insurance cost are on the rise and in some cases almost tripling in cost for some families.

City Officials are now looking for a way to pass that $1,100 savings along to the employees – the City Council will hold a work session prior to Tuesday’s meeting at 4:00pm in order to get everything on paper and then make a decision on the issue.

The regular meeting is scheduled to take place immediately following that work session at 5:00pm.
