# KC Human Services Committee October 14 2026

The Kane County Human Services Committee met on October 14, 2026. It reviewed the monthly financial reports and Human Resource Management updates, including the August Blue Cross Blue Shield invoice and open enrollment. The committee approved renewing the county’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) arrangement; staff said rates were unchanged from the prior year and reported increased employee use. It also approved extending CCMSI’s contract as third-party administrator for workers’ compensation and liability claims for another fiscal year, with minor cost changes described as consistent with general cost increases.

The committee approved the county’s insurance renewal package, which covers property, general and law-enforcement liability, workers’ compensation, and related lines; the increase was described as approximately 2% over the previous year. Alliant’s representative discussed market conditions and the county’s exposure and loss experience. The committee also approved annual insurance coverage costing $27,195 for the Sheriff’s Office drone operations through fiscal year 2027, required in connection with the drone first-responder program involving Aurora. The coverage includes aircraft physical-damage and liability protection; the county is responsible for the insurance, maintenance, and repair under the arrangement discussed. The committee also discussed employee job postings and hiring election workers, but no related purchasing action was identified.
