The Frankfort Village Board authorized over $1.3 million in payments at its meeting Monday, with nearly half of the total amount covering the village’s annual insurance premiums.

Trustees unanimously approved the schedule of bills totaling $1,308,224.37. Trustee Adam Borrelli explained the composition of the substantial figure, highlighting the largest single expenditure.

“About half of that is our payment to SWARM, which is our basically our insurance payment for general liability, property, and workman’s comp,” Borrelli said. “And that total is $645,490, and again that payment is for the entire year.”

The remainder of the approved bills covered operational costs across several village funds. According to the meeting’s financial documents, disbursements included $784,236.59 from the General Corporate Fund, $236,909.37 from the Capital Development Fund, $238,533.06 for Sewer and Water Operations and Maintenance, and $48,545.35 from the Sewer and Water Extension Fund.

The approval of the bills was part of the board’s unanimous consent agenda, which includes routine items that are passed in a single vote without separate discussion.
