Insurance Fund Renewal
Summary
Two employee benefit programs renew with good news: the disability and life insurance has zero premium increases, and the FSA program's fee bumps are tiny ($10/year admin; 30 cents per participant monthly). About half of employees use the FSA, which came with a $500 city-funded contribution last year.
