A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE INTENT OF THE VILLAGE OF
BUFFALO GROVE TO CONTINUE AS A MEMBER OF THE INTER-
GOVERNMENTAL RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY
WHEREAS, the Village of Buffalo Grove is currently a Member of
the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency ( IRMA) ; and
WHEREAS , the initial term of IRMA was established by Contract
and By-Laws as being five (5) years; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Buffalo Grove
believe that its membership in IRMA has been a benefit to its citizens, both
in terms of financial savings and in terms of increasing the control of the
municipality over the management and prevention of risks; and
WHEREAS, the end of the first five-year term of IRMA will take
place on December 31 , 1983 and the Board of Directors of IRMA has requested
an expression of intent by each of the existing IRMA Members as to whether
such communities are interested in participating in a continuation in the
term of the AGENCY; and
WHEREAS, the future term of the AGENCY has been proposed to be a
minimum of four (4) years and a maximum of seven (7) years; and
WHEREAS, the Corporate Authorities of the Village of Buffalo Grove
desire to pass a resolution indicating the intent of the Village to continue
its participation as a Member of IRMA; and
WHEREAS, the passage of this Resolution, although expressing the
intent of the Village is contingent upon a final study and review of this
matter and the passage of such ordinances or resolutions as are eventually
deemed necessary to formally continue membership in the organization.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PRESIDENT AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES
OF THE VILLAGE OF BUFFALO GROVE, COOK AND LAKE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS, as follows:
SECTION 1 . Having determined that the continued membership of the
Village of Buffalo Grove in the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency is
in the best interests of the citizens of the Village of Buffalo Grove, we
J
hereby express our intent to continue as a Member of that AGENCY after the
termination of the initial five-year term on December 31 , 1983.
SECTION 2. The Corporate Authorities of the Village of Buffalo Grove
pledge to promptly consider and review such materials as are submitted to it for
the continuation of the AGENCY and to promptly act upon such documents. The
Corporate Authorities commend those persons from the Village of Buffalo Grove
and other Members or IRMA who have served as members and alternate members of
the Board of Directors. Through the efforts of these public servants, each
community which is a Member of IRMA has saved substantial amounts as against
conventional insurance premiums and has enjoyed a new control over an important
and potentially costly area of municipal operations. The effective manner in
which more than 30 Illinois municipalities have worked together in the spirit
of community and cooperation is a good indication of the feasibility and effect-
iveness of intergovernmental agencies as authorized by the Constitution and
statutes of the State of Illinois.
SECTION 3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from
and after its passage and approval as provided by law.
