Charlton is changing how it purchases employee health insurance, with the town expecting savings from the new arrangements and plan design changes. A portion of the first-year savings will be used to reduce employees’ out-of-pocket impact through a two-month premium holiday. The board also approved scholarships, new alternate members for two boards, two utility-pole installations, and closure of a nuisance-dog hearing after no further reports were received.
