DELEGATE TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT
AGENCY
January 21, 2025 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT
PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD
CONSENT AGENDA
Action Item
The Village has been an Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA) member since
2018 for risk management service needs. IRMA provides insurance and claims management
services to the Village and protects/indemnifies the interest of the Village against various
claims. The IRMA bylaws require all members to appoint a delegate and an alternate delegate
to represent themselves.
Discussion
The Village has appointed Amit Thakkar, the Director of Finance, as a delegate to IRMA.
Additionally, Heidi Neu, the former Director of Human Resources, served as an alternate
delegate to manage daily operations and activities with IRMA. Heidi Neu has recently resigned
from her position and is no longer with the Village.
Following her departure, the Village conducted a search for a new Director of Human
Resources and successfully hired Patricia Anderson after completing the recruitment process.
The proposed resolution now replaces the previously appointed Director of Human Resources,
Heidi Neu, with the newly hired Director of Human Resources, Patricia Anderson, as an
alternate delegate to IRMA.
Alternatives
1. Approve the attached resolution, replacing the previously appointed Director of Human
Resources, Heidi Neu, with the newly hired Director, Patricia Anderson, as an alternate
delegate to the IRMA.
2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approving the attached resolution, replacing the previously appointed
Director of Human Resources, Heidi Neu, with the newly hired Director, Patricia Anderson, as
an alternate delegate to the IRMA.
