Butler County renewed its FY27 ICAP (Iowa Communities Assurance Pool) insurance policy at the Board’s June 23 meeting, accepting a 2.5% overall premium increase. Chad Campbell presented the renewal and noted workers’ compensation premiums decreased slightly.

Motion by Eddy, second by Dralle to renew the FY27 ICAP policy maintaining the same cyber liability, increase property deductibles to $5,000 across the board, and keep auto physical damage deductibles unchanged; the motion passed unanimously.
