(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has accepted a proposal for the county’s insurance coverage for 2016-2017. 

After reviewing proposals Monday, the Commission agreed to renew it’s policy with SBS Insurance Agency, of Seneca, for property, liability, and worker’s compensation insurance coverage, with a total premium of $125,625.   That’s nearly $58,000 lower than the current premium.   The policy year begins in July.

Two other proposals were received.  KCAMP submitted a bid of  $78,890 for property/liability insurance and KWORCC submitted a bid of $35,514 for worker’s compensation insurance.

In other business, the Commission received two additional budget requests for 2017.
