Blumenstein said the NCACC had provided new resolutions for the three risk management
pools. She said the main purpose of the pools was for the counties "to combine their retention
of risks and to group purchase coverage." Blumenstein said the pools had a board of trustees
that (1) safeguarded the assets (2) insured that claims were adjudicated promptly and (3)
established terms and conditions of coverage. She stressed that the documents were not
insurance renewals, and they merely allowed the county to be a member of the pools.
OTIO by Commissioner Madison to approve the NCACC Risk Management Pool
resolutions as presented by Mrs. Blumenstein.
