OLD BUSINESS None 7. NEW BUSINESS 7.1 1st reading of AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT TO JOIN THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY Finance Director David Erb presented background information and staff recommendation. Mr. Erb stated the Board of Trustees met last week at a Special Meeting of the Committee of the Whole, to discuss the Village's option of joining the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA). The Village's current membership in the High -Level Excess Liability Pool (HELP) expires soon that allowed the exploration of other risk management options. Mr. Erb stated as part of the Governance Strategic Plan, our current plan was evaluated and sought to improve efficiencies in three (3) areas: pricing, risk exposure and administration. Membership in a risk management pool, such as IRMA, was considered. The Village enlisted the assistance of Peter Wright of Wright Benefit Strategies, to prepare a formal review of the costs and coverages of our current insurance program and to provide recommendations for program improvement. Mr. Erb stated IRMA is a pool of local governmental units providing full property, casualty and worker's compensation coverage through a pooling of claims above $2,500 per occurrence. At the December 12, 2017 special meeting, staff met with the Village Board to discuss the various coverage options. Mr. Wright attended along with Margo Ely, Executive Director at IRMA. Recommendation for the Village's commercial insurance and pool strategies, prepared by Wright Benefit Strategies, were presented and discussed. Ms. Ely answered questions from the Village Board at that time. Mr. Erb outlined the benefits of joining IRMA: • Limits the exposure to high-cost claims and frequency of claims • Outsources most of the insurance management activities, improving the efficiency of program management and claim administration. Mr. Erb stated, if approved, membership in IRMA would commence on January 1, 2018. Village staff recommends proceeding with the $100,000 deductible option.
