An interlocal agency membership can occur with the insurance bid process or as an alternative to obtaining insurance quotes.
The first step for a municipality to seek LARM membership is to approve a Resolution Requesting a Proposal (RRP). LARM desires that all prospective members understand the difference between a LARM membership in an interlocal agency and traditional insurance. The resolution indicates to the LARM Board that a municipality has a genuine interest in LARM membership.
Once your municipality has approved the RRP, LARM staff will assist in completing a simple risk assessment to determine how much your municipality or public agency needs to contribute. Throughout the membership process, LARM staff members are available to make presentations and answer all questions.
