The Maryville Village Board would vote Wednesday on how much of the health insurance boost to pass on to village employees.
Meeting in caucus last week, they discussed the increase of more than 17 percent in premiums the state insurance pond is impressive for the coming year.
"In the past, we've done a 50 percent pass on of the increase," Mayor Larry Gulledge said.
Trustee Linda Garcia said 50 percent of the premium increase will amount to $39.50 per month for a single employee, $76 per month for an employee with one dependent, and $98 per month for an employee requiring family coverage.
"We gave them a pay increase and now we're taking it back for insurance," Trustee Rod Schmidt said. "And it's costing us in additional Social Security and IMRF (Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund) because we raised wages. If we didn't give raises and paid for the increase we'd save money."
