Later in the meeting Leezer Insurance Agency presented an annual renewal quote for property, casualty and workers’ compensation coverage showing a 2.8% premium increase, driven by higher estimated payroll and increased building values and anticipated additional claims from recent hail. The board approved the FY2027 insurance renewal; the motion passed with five yes votes and one abstention (one board member abstained).
Separately, the board approved retaining Gorenz and Associates, Ltd. for the Fiscal Year 2026 audit (motion by Mrs. Price; second by Ms. Streitmatter; passed 6-0). The board also authorized the superintendent to let bids for routine commodity contracts including milk, trash and bread for FY2027.
