§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) Purchase general liability, workers' compensation, and/or property coverage insurance with other local housing authorities participating in and belonging to the interlocal risk management agency, the pooled risks of the participating local housing authorities to be described in a plan of coverages with the total premium prorated among such participants.

(4) Pool its property coverage risks in whole or in part with those of other local housing authorities.

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.
