2027 Benefits Package for Non-union and Management Employees
Summary
The city is restructuring health coverage for ~55 non-union and management employees — moving toward a high-deductible plan and limiting spousal coverage when other employer coverage exists — to control costs that jumped over $3 million this year. Council tabled it, and a bigger city HSA contribution is on the table.

Impact analysis
The plan is part of absorbing a $3 million-plus health care cost increase; a larger one-time HSA contribution is being weighed in the 2027 budget.
Taxpayers, if the plan reins in health costs without quality-of-benefit losses.
Some employees lose spousal coverage and face higher deductibles, which members worry could hurt retention and recruitment.
