Statesboro City Council's decision to reverse course and stay with Glenn-Davis & Associates as broker for the city's partially self-insured employee health coverage followed a contentious path that began last September with a staff recommendation to switch to another company. After voting 4-0 on Sept. 19 to award the brokerage contract to ShawHankins, over Glenn-Davis and a third firm, Capstone Benefits Consulting, the council heard their appeals Oct. 3 and voted 3-2 to rescind the contract award. The council was then unanimous in having Councilman Travis Chance and Councilman Jeff Yawn, on opposing sides in the reversal, find an unaffiliated professional to review the proposals.
