Vienna Council shifts umbrella insurance to state pool
Vienna transfers its liability umbrella coverage from Country Companies to the Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Pool after a deadlock. The move reduces the annual premium to just over $10,000, about 25 percent below last year, though gas utility coverage remains unavailable through the pool, prompting an exploration of the Gas Utilities Alliance. The meeting also rezoned three Woodcrest Hills lots from R-1 to R-2 to permit Shawnee Enterprises to build apartments in Marion.
