EVANGELINE PARISH POLICE JURY SPECIAL MEETING

MARCH 11, 2016

     The Evangeline Parish Police Jury Thursday decided to stay with its current group health care plan through Blue Cross despite a 2 percent increase. Jury Secretary Treasurer Donald Bergeron told KVPI News that initially, the Blue Cross plan submitted a 4.3 percent increase in premiums. The jury entertained other quotes from the state police jury association and United Health Care. The jury asked Blue Cross to re consider their first quote and last night, a new lower quote was submitted through local agent Lemoine Insurance and was approved.

    Also the jury last night during their special meeting:

--appointed Hubb International as its agent of record for supplemental policies such as vision and dental insurance;

--approved having jurors attend Legislative Day March 31 in Baton Rouge to meet with its local legislative delegation and other lawmakers.
