Clarks Board selects LARM for village insurance, adopts interlocal agreement
Summary
The Clarks Village Board voted 4-1 on Sept. 20, 2025 to select the League Association of Risk Management (LARM) as its insurance provider under terms requiring 180 days’ written notice to terminate and adopting Resolution No. 2025-0819.1 to formalize the interlocal agreement.
The Clarks Village Board of Trustees voted on Sept. 20, 2025 to select the League Association of Risk Management (LARM) as the village’s insurance provider and to adopt Resolution No. 2025-0819.1 establishing an interlocal agreement with LARM.
Trustee James Parsons moved to approve the consent agenda, which included the minutes from the Sept. 10 meeting; Trustee Dyrek Zoucha seconded the motion, and the consent agenda passed unanimously, 5-0. After a longer discussion of insurance options, Trustee Parsons moved and Trustee Christopher Langley seconded a motion to select LARM for a one-year insurance arrangement that includes a 180-day written termination-notice requirement. The motion passed 4-1; Trustee Dyrek Zoucha cast the lone dissenting vote.
The Board then moved to approve Resolution No. 2025-0819.1, which the resolution text describes as authorizing the Village to provide written termination notice at least 180 days prior to any desired termination date and to accept contribution-credit terms the LARM Board offers. The resolution notes that the termination date may be no sooner than Sept. 30, 2026, and indicates a 2% contribution credit associated with the 180-day notice term. The resolution was adopted on a 4-1 vote, with Trustee Zoucha opposed. Chairman Donn Glynn signed the interlocal agreement at the meeting; Clerk/Treasurer Kari Podliska is listed as attesting.
Trustee Zoucha raised a question about how county tax collections are collected and distributed for rural and village Fire/EMS; the Board agreed to add that question to the Oct. 8, 2025 agenda. The Board set its next meeting for Oct. 8, 2025 at 7 p.m. Chairman Glynn adjourned the special session at 11:10 a.m.
