In order to cut costs, Councilmember Mynatt moved in regards to <br /> city council insurance, the city pay for the councilmember premium only and not <br /> for any dependant coverage. Councilmember Krug seconded. The roll call count <br /> was three for (Cooke, Krug and Mynatt) and four against (Carpenter, Pectol, <br /> Smart and Terrell). The motion failed. Councilmember Terrell moved to accept <br /> the bid from White River Insurance and to go with Option 2-A as of January 1St <br /> contingent upon the Municipal League waving their required 30 day notice for <br /> cancellation. Councilmember Carpenter seconded and all voted for except <br /> Councilmember Cooke who abstained from voting. <br /> The new insurance is a four-tier plan therefore in order to cut costs, <br /> Councilmember Krug moved to not "double cover" on the dependant coverage. <br />
