RESOLUTION NO. 90-135
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF THE
COOPERATIVE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT FOR THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT JOINT LIABILITY PROTECTION PROGRAM AMONG
ALASKA MUNICIPALITIES THAT ARE MEMBERS OF THE
ALASKA MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
WHEREAS, because of the withdrawal from the state of Scotts-
dale Insurance Company, effective June 30, 1990, municipal
governments in Alaska are currently unable to procure adequate
insurance coverage for law enforcement liability at reasonable
prices; and
WHEREAS, AS 21.76, enacted by the 1986 Alaska Legislature,
provides a means for local governments to join together in a joint
insurance arrangement intended to mitigate the cyclical and erratic
nature of the conventional insurance market; and
WHEREAS, the not-for-profit Joint Insurance Association
(hereinafter the AML/JIA) has been established pursuant to AS 21.76
by the Alaska Municipal League to provide risk management services
for Alaska municipalities, city and borough school districts, and
regional education attendance areas; and
WHEREAS, the AML/JIA has been providing pooling of risks, self
insurance management, joint purchase of insurance, claims adminis-
tration, loss prevention and control, insurance defense, and other
related risk management services on behalf of its members for
liability other than that related to law enforcement; and
WHEREAS, the city of Seward, as a charter member of the
AML/JIA, has been able to assure insurance coverage while obtaining
significant long-term economic benefits due to the joint buying
power of the AML/JIA, the pooling and investment of deposits paid,
and risk management services provided for members; and
WHEREAS, the city wishes to participate in the Law Enforcement
Joint Liability Protection Program; and
WHEREAS, it is now necessary for potential members of the Law
Enforcement Joint Liability Protection program to express a formal
commitment to become members of the pool and to make sufficient
appropriations for annual premiums and assessments for a three-year
term or until all payment obligations have been satisfied as
provided in the Program's cooperative participation agreement;
