Bluffton council's approved a recommendation from its insurance committee   to continue its employee insurance agreement with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield through April 30, 2022.

The action took place on March 8. Jerry Cupples said that Fortman Insurance provided six base rate quotes from competitive companies and the committee chose to remain with Anthem.

In other action, council set pay increases for village employees. Those are spelled out in the council packet attached to this story.
