Butte County is paying almost a million dollars a year for some retired workers medical benefits, and the county Grand Jury is urging some changes. An interim report from the Butte County Grand Jury recommends the county renegotiate its benefit package so retirees pay part of their medical coverage. Butte County compared itself to 12 counties when negotiating the cost of living adjustments, and some of those counties include Santa Cruz, Sonoma and Napa. Sang Kim with Butte County Administration had this response to the report about comparable counties.
The Grand Jury sugggests Butte County compare itself to counties that are closer in “socio-economic” status.
