(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council received a presentation Monday night from Clint Simmons with the Nebraska League Association of Risk Management concerning insurance coverage, including workman's comp, which the city has been non-renewed on by the current provider.

LARM is not a traditional insurance company, that proactively works with members to assist them with questions and issues that arise and attempts to help member communities mitigate risk, prevent injuries and assist when there is a claim.

There are approximately 225 communities around Nebraska that make up the pool. LARM offered a $500 safety grant for members; provides $700 to be sued toward the purchase of a bulletproof vest for member police departments, provides property evaluation to make sure city property is listed adn covered and looks for cost-saving options.

LARM also provides a review of coverages annually at renewal time and also provides state-approved law enforcement training at no cost and has a library of more than 2,000 safety training videos including a wide range of topics. Contracts and agreements are also reviewed to mitigate liability and loss exposure.

The City is still waiting on final prices from it's current insurance carrier before making a decision which will be done yet this month.
