DAKOTA CITY - Scott Curran with the Abens-Marty-Curran Agency in Humboldt presented the annual insurance update for the county during the Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on Monday, June 30.

Curran informed the Supervisors that the total premium had actually gone down this year from $279,521 in 2024-25 to $275,857.00 for 2025-26.

“We are down $3,664 over the expiring premium. Workers' compensation has been our hero over the last couple of years and you will see a reduction of over $15,000 in our workers' compensation premium,” Curran said.

“This is a great testament to all of you. Ever since we put a safety committee in place who have been having regular meetings, it has been driving that premium down,” Curran said.

Over the last five years, the workers' compensation premiums have gone from $96,000 and this year is just over $32,000.
