A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE RANCHO
CUCAMONGA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT, CALIFORNIA,
AUTHORIZING PARTICIPATION IN THE EMPLOYMENT RISK
MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY (ERMA)
WHEREAS, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District wishes to obtain Employment
Practices Liability coverage effective July 1, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the Employment Risk Management Authority (ERMA) is a self-insured joint
powers authority created for the sole purpose of Employment Practices Liability Coverage. ERMA
is comprised of various public entities who risk share up to $1 million against potentially unlawful
employment practices and discrimination claims; and
WHEREAS, ERMA formed primarily due to the fact that government entities have not
historically been able to secure Employment Practices Liability (EPL) coverage at a competitive
cost through the commercial insurance marketplace; and
WHEREAS, ERMA has met all of the high professional standards established by the
California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA) in the areas of governance, finance,
claims control, safety and loss control and ERMA is fully accredited by CAJPA. CAJPA's
accreditation process requires reviews by independent consultants in the areas of accounting,
claims adjusting, and actuarial analysis; and
WHEREAS, ERMA provides services to both Joint Powers Insurance Authorities and
individual public entities; and
WHEREAS, the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District has determined that it is in the
best interest to become a member of ERMA for the purpose of obtaining Employment Practices
Liability coverage; and
WHEREAS, ERMA requires the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District to pass a
resolution expressing the desire and commitment of the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection
District's participation in ERMA, which requires a three year minimum participation period.
Rancho Cucamonga Fire Protection District also understands our entity will be bound by the
provisions in the ERMA Joint Powers Agreement just as though it were fully set forth and
incorporated herein whether our entity had signed it individually or through an underlying Joint
Powers Insurance Authority.
NOW, THEREFORE, Be It Resolved by the Board of Directors of the Rancho Cucamonga
Fire Protection District, Rancho Cucamonga, California to approve participation in ERMA effective
July 1, 2016; and
