The Town Board finds that some of its eligible employees who could otherwise
receive health insurance coverage through the Town's group health insurance
provider for themselves and/or their families may already have health insurance
coverage available to them from another source. In cases such as this, the
Town Board finds that it is an unnecessary expense for the Town of Woodbury
to provide such an employee health insurance coverage where an otherwise eligible
employee of the Town already has sufficient health insurance coverage available
from another source. It is therefore the intent of this chapter to authorize
Town employees who already have health insurance coverage available to them
to elect cash payments in lieu of the Town providing health insurance coverage
for them and/or their families as set forth more fully below.
This chapter is authorized by the New York State Constitution, Article
IX, § 2, the provisions of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law
and the provisions of the Statute of Local Governments.
