Group health insurance cost increase
The township's share of employee health insurance is proposed at $10.92 million, up $1.2 million. The shared Partnership Health Center with the school board is expected to save $250,000–$300,000 this year, and more in later years, but the township is now phasing in payments to the BOE for the center's operating costs.
