City Insurance Cost Increase Slightly

The city will be spending a little bit more for its insurance coverage this year.

City council has approved a policy worth 329 thousand dollars, that's a 1.7 percent increase over last year.

The city's Health and Safety Officer Bruce Graham says they'd like to be able to find a cheaper rate, but there just isn't a lot of competition for their business.

Councillor Louis Roussin feels the city should be able to get a better rate by going to a request for proposal.
