The City of Cortland Common Council tabled a decision on a potential authorized agreement to transition Medicare-eligible retirees to a city-sponsored group medicare advantage plan at its meeting on Tuesday.
City mayor Scott Steve decided to pull the decision on the matter to give city employee retirees a chance to review and possibly consider the new plan.
A handful of city employee retirees, including former city police chief Jim Nichols, spoke in disapproval of the potential plan during the public comment portion of the meeting.
A breakdown of the resolution in regards to the proposed medicare plan can be seen here under agenda item number two.
