(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council received a review of the Fiscal Year 2023-24 insurance renewal package for the City General Insurance and Board of Public Works coverage when they met Monday evening.

Council members approved the report from Tom Farrell with Miller-Monroe - Farrell.

City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum highlighted some of the increases for the new year, including a jump in workers compensation and property insurance.

The premium for the City General policy will be $241,944, an increase of $23,444; the Board of Public Works policy will be $206,144, an increase of $43,233. the Premium for the boiler and machinery policy is in the third year of a three-year policy and remains steady at $31,945.
