Kimball Mayor David JacksonKIMBALL, Tenn. — City leaders are looking to offer state-sponsored vision insurance to city employees.
The insurance program initially was discussed during the Mayor and Board of Aldermen’s May meeting, Mayor David Jackson said, but officials wanted to find out what the premiums would be before making a decision.
City Recorder Tonia May said the town has to inform state officials by July 2 for employees to be eligible to enroll in the program by January 2013.
“The final benefit summary will be later this summer, but premiums will not be available until [the state] has awarded the vision insurance contract,” she said. “By selecting that we have the intent to enroll, that does not make us required to enroll.”
On Thursday, the board voted unanimously to notify the state of Kimball’s intent to enroll in the program.
