2 <br />governing safety practices, but more importantly, helps counties to ensure a safe workplace for <br />employees and the public. <br />The Board of Trustees for the three Risk Management Pools have examined and revised the <br />documents upon which Orange County participation is based, including Bylaws and Coverage <br />Agreements, as well as the Interlocal Agreements adopted by members of each pool. The <br />Interlocal Agreements have not been revised since the pools were organized. <br />The changes to the Interlocal Agreements are largely cosmetic. They have been reorganized to <br />make their formats consistent with each other. Provisions that should be (and /or are already) <br />included in coverage agreements that are revised annually have been removed from the <br />Interlocal Agreements. A few provisions that duplicated language in the Bylaws have been <br />removed from the Interlocal Agreements. <br />The Association is requesting that each member of the pool re -adopt a resolution providing for <br />participation in the Interlocal Agreement that forms each Pool. To that end, resolutions for the <br />Property and Liability Pool and the Workers' Compensation Pool are attached for the Board's <br />approval. As the Board is aware, the County also participates in a third pool, the Health <br />Insurance Trust for group health. The revised interlocal agreement for that coverage will be <br />presented for Board consideration closer to the January 1, 2004 renewal date. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact is associated with the adoption of the attached <br />resolutions. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1. Approve the following resolutions <br />a. Interlocal Agreement for a Group Self- Insurance Fund for Liability and Property <br />Risk Sharing or Group Purchase of Coverage; and <br />b. Interlocal Agreement for a Group Self- Insurance Fund for Workers' <br />Compensation Risk Sharing or Group Purchase of Coverage; and <br />2. Authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board; and <br />3. Confirm authorization of the Purchasing and Central Services Director to execute <br />documents related to renewal of coverages each year. <br />
