BWD Insurance Committee

Thursday - November 12: The Insurance Committee met Thursday morning at the Water Treatment Plant to discuss the cost of insurance for 2010. Present at the meeting was Insurance Committee Chairman Dave Lloyd, Committee members Cal Carney & Jack Call, Board President Mike Ryan and District Manager Al DeAngelis.

The insurance being discussed was medical insurance for BWD employees. Insurance coverage is provided at no cost to the employee. Their insurance plan is administered by Anthem and they are joined in with Columbiana County employees for the better group coverage rates. There are 500 to 600 employees covered under this plan.

At a recent meeting with insurance officials and County department heads members of the BWD Insurance Committee learned that rates will be increased by 10% in 2010. However with some possible savings anticipated within the budget next year it was decided to recommend to the full Board that the increase be absorbed by the water district. If accepted by the Board of Trustees BWD employees will continue enjoying cost free medical coverage.

There will be a Finance Committee Meeting held Wednesday morning at 9 A.M. at the Water Treatment Plant followed by the bi-weekly Progress Meeting for the first part of the Salineville project at 10 A.M. The Progress meeting is conducted by the Engineering Committee. The regular meeting of the Board of Trustees is scheduled for 9 A.M. Thursday at Wellsville Village Hall.
