Mayor Jim Dodge said the village voted to increase insurance coverage while lowering the cost for workers' compensation and property and casualty insurance following a review by Marsh McLennan Agency.

Dodge said the review allowed the village to secure greater protection for employees while saving taxpayer dollars "up to about $400,000 worth," as stated in the meeting brief. The transcript does not provide line‑item figures, the time period over which savings are calculated, or the specific coverage changes and premiums.

The transcript records board approval but does not include the insurance contracts, exact savings calculations, or vote tallies; these details would be in purchasing records and formal meeting minutes.
