Liberty County Commissioners Court convened a special session on October 25, 2024, to address a single agenda item concerning retiree insurance. The meeting, attended by Commissioners Karbowski and Arthur, focused on the approval of bids for insurance covering over 65 retirees.

During the session, County Treasurer Kim Harris reported that only one bid was received from the current insurance provider, Ministar. The proposed rate reflects a 6.44% increase, which has been met with satisfaction from the retirees. Notably, the court previously decided to maintain no premium rate increase for employees and retirees, ensuring that the financial impact remains manageable.

The court unanimously approved the bid from Ministar, reinforcing their commitment to providing stable insurance options for retirees. The meeting concluded swiftly with a motion to adjourn, highlighting the efficiency of the session.

This decision is expected to provide continued support for Liberty County's retirees, ensuring they have access to necessary insurance coverage without additional financial burdens.
