City of Culver City, California City Council Agenda Item Report RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution 2006-R___, re-affirming Mayor Gary Silbiger as Member and appointing City Controller Marlee Chang as Alternate to the Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA) Governing Board and rescinding Resolution 2005-R091. BACKGROUND: The Independent Cities Risk Management Authority (ICRMA) is a Joint Powers Authority which provides risk management programs for liability, workers’ compensation, and property and earthquake coverage for its 29 member cities. The City of Culver City has been a member of the ICRMA since May 20, 1986. The ICRMA Bylaws require an elected official be appointed by resolution as the Member of the Governing Board of the ICRMA. An Alternate and substitute Alternate, who may be staff members, may also be appointed by resolution to act in the primary Member's absence. Governing Board Meetings occur every other month during business hours (10am to 12pm). Representation at Board and committee meetings is essential for Culver City to provide input into the structure and direction of ICRMA programs. In addition, the ICRMA offers various services to assist member cities with mitigating risk, including free risk management training sessions and grant money for safety training programs. Attendance at Board meetings is necessary in order to take full advantage of ICRMA’s services.
