§1353. Authority of local housing authority to form, join, and participate in interlocal risk
management agency
A. Any two or more local housing authorities may make and execute an
intergovernmental agreement between or among themselves to form and become members
of an interlocal risk management agency. After an interlocal risk management agency has
been formed, any local housing authority may, subject to the bylaws and requirements of
such agency, become a member and through participation in the agency may:
(1) Pool its general liability risks in whole or in part with those of other local housing
authorities.
(2) Pool its workers' compensation risks in whole or in part with those of other local
housing authorities.
(3) Pool its public officials liability risks, including employment practices liability
coverage, in whole or in part with those of other local housing authorities.
(4) Pool its property coverage risks in whole or in part with those of other local
housing authorities.
(5) Pool other coverage risks the board of trustees of the interlocal risk management
agency may determine to be appropriate in whole or in part with those of other local housing
authorities.
(6) Purchase insurance for risks of general liability, workers' compensation, public
officials liability, including employment practices liability, property or other insurance for
such other lines of coverage pooled by the interlocal risk management agency with other
local housing authorities participating in and belonging to the interlocal risk management
agency. The pooled risks of the participating local housing authorities shall be described in
a plan of coverages with the total premium prorated among such participants.
B. Local housing authorities concluding an agreement under the provisions hereof
may by resolution duly adopted by the governing body thereof designate the Louisiana
Housing Council, Inc. to administer the interlocal risk management agency and any group
self-insurance fund or funds established by said agency and to administer the terms and
conditions of the intergovernmental agreement by which the agency and any self-insurance
fund or funds have been established.
C. All arrangements and agreements made under the authority of this Section shall
be reduced to writing. A local housing authority may become a member of an interlocal risk
management agency by the authority of an ordinance adopted by the governing body thereof
in the same manner as are other proceedings of such governing body. The interlocal risk
management agency will operate under such name and style as shall be provided in the
agreement creating same and shall have the power to sue and be sued.
