The Village of Waukesha Village Board on Feb. 12 authorized payment of $12,115.38 in accounts payable and discussed a separate larger insurance charge from the Horton Group.
During accounts-payable review, a trustee questioned an approximately $66,000 invoice for insurance placed through the Horton Group. Staff said Horton Group serves as the village’s insurance representative and that the agency shops policies on the village’s behalf. Trustees asked whether the village had ever solicited competitive bids or compared the Horton Group’s offerings to alternatives such as the Wisconsin Municipalities insurance pool; staff and trustees said they could investigate renewals at the appropriate time but noted the current bill represented services already provided and subject to payment now.
A motion to approve payment of the $12,115.38 bills was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Trustees recorded that they would consider reviewing insurance procurement or alternatives before the next renewal cycle but did not direct immediate contract changes at the meeting.
