Recommendation:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement with the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA), adding the City of Chino to the ICRMA pool, and re-designating the Governing Board Representative, Alternate Governing Board Representative and the Substitute Alternate Representative.

Background:

The Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA) is a pool of 30 cities who are joined in agreement to share in the costs of purchasing and funding excess insurance and risk management services. The City of Hermosa Beach is a member of ICRMA for the purchase of excess liability, workers' compensation, and property insurance. In addition to excess insurance, ICRMA provides training and a variety of risk management services. The Governing Board is made up of a representative from each member city and meets monthly. An elected representative serves as the primary representative with staff members typically serving as alternates and substitute alternates. Currently, City Council Member Edgerton is the designated representative, the Personnel & Risk Management Director is the alternate representative and the Finance Director is the substitute alternate representative.

Analysis:

At a recent ICRMA Governing Board meeting minor changes were approved to the joint powers agreements and the City of Chino was approved for membership into the pool. These changes require that each individual City Council approve a revised agreement. In addition, ICRMA staff has requested that each member City confirm their designated representatives on the Governing Board. Attached is a memo from ICRMA general legal counsel, a "red-lined" copy of the revised agreement, and a resolution for adoption approving the above-referenced changes.

Fiscal Impact:

There is no additional fiscal impact to the proposed changes.
