Sun Valley council votes to return to renewal vision plan, citing modest savings

The City Council approved returning to the renewal vision-insurance plan after Treasurer Angela Orr presented two rate options. Council Member Jane Conard moved "to go back to the renewal vision plan because there would be a savings to the City of almost $700," and Council President Keith Saks seconded. A roll call vote recorded AYES from Saks, Griffith and Conard; the Mayor declared the motion approved.

Council members discussed the relative benefits and negatives of each plan and examined two charts provided by staff. The item was presented as a cost-saving measure; no amendments or follow-up tasks were recorded in the meeting minutes.
