WASHINGTON COUNTIES RISK POOL 205 Clark Place SE Tumwater,Washington 98501-4062 Date: April 28, 2003 j 3 i7 ` �. 1= To: Risk Pool Member Counties �� J MAY 1 y ?003 From: John Cra fo d, Executive Director RQARP OF l°fii Re: Interloca Agreement Revision Since the beginning of the Risk Pool, we have limited our membership to include only counties of the state of Washington. By doing so, we have focused on managing and funding the unique risks and exposures faced by counties. Throughout the years, and specially now in the hard insurance market, we have been asked to consider broadening our membership to include quasi-county organizations. Some member counties provide services to their citizens by their county employees working in their county departments. Other member counties provide those same services by means of Interlocal agreements with other local governments. In addition, the state associations of counties (WSAC, WACO, WAPA& WCIP) have inquired whether they could participate in our liability and property programs. At its Spring Meeting in Pasco, the Risk Pool Board voted to recommend that our member counties open membership to allow for non-voting affiliate members that provide the same type of services that counties provide. Several representatives were concerned that we will open our program too wide, so the Board voted to self-limit affiliate membership to WSAC, WACO and WAPA until the Board has a chance to review the Bylaws and Underwriting Policy and develop further policy. Pursuant to Risk Pool Article 20, our Interlocal Agreement may be amended at any time by the written approval of the Boards of County Commissioners of all member counties. Attached for your review and approval are duplicate originals of the Risk Pool Interlocal Agreement First Amendment that modifies Risk Pool Article 5 to allow non-county units of local government to participate in the Risk Pool as non-voting affiliate members. The Risk Pool Board of Directors recommends that you approve the amendment. Thank you for your consideration. Please call if you have questions.
