The Dakota City Council heard from Scott Curran with Abens, Marty & Curran Agency to go over the insurance renewal rates.
As with most insurance rates, the costs have increased by approximately $5,000 from a total of $54,486 last year to $59,727 this year.
The biggest change has been in Commercial property/inland marine insurance which increased from $29,423 to $32,342, Auto increased from $5,762 to $7,408 and General liability from $11,171 to $12,002.
The only insurance rate to go down was workers compensation, from $5,230 to $4,993 because of the lack of claims over the last five years.
The council approved renewing the insurance quote for the upcoming year.
The council members also approved the second and third readings of the Amendment of Chapter 145 of Ordinance #302, outlining the definition of an abandoned building.
