insurance, claims administration, loss prevention and control, claims defense and other related risk

governmental entities may enter into cooperative agreements for these purposes.
Since the time of AMLJIA's formation and in subsequent revisions, the AMLJIA's current

the members. The redlined version of the amended bylaws is attached to indicate all changes.
In order to remain a member of AMLJIA, the City of Seward needs to approve the proposed
amendments to the Cooperative Participation Agreement and Bylaws of the AMLJIA, a copy of
which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The City Council also needs to authorize and
direct the City Manager to execute the Agreement and such other documents as may be necessary to
effectuate participation ofthe entity as a member ofthe AMLJIA. By authorizing the Agreement, the
City of Seward indicates its continued commitment to participate in the AMLJIA, organized pursuant
to AS 21.76. By making this commitment, the City of Seward hereby accepts and approves the
revised Bylaws of the Association. The Agreement will go into effect upon receipt by the Association
of a signed copy of this resolution and a signed Agreement. The City of Seward's participation in the
Association continues for a term of one year commencing on July 1 of the calendar year in which
coverage begins.
