Resolution No. 2001-4

BACKGROUND: On July 21, 1987 the Board of Directors of the Lancaster County Solid Waste Management Authority (the "Authority) approved the "Government Self-Insurance Fund Agreement" (the "Agreement") and the "By-Laws of Government Self Insurance Fund" (the By-Laws"). The purpose of the Government Self-Insurance Fund (the "Fund") is to establish a self-insurance mechanism for governmental entities who elect to participate in the Fund, to provide each Participant with a self-insurance fund for payment of claims, and to protect Participants against risks where traditional insurance coverage is unavailable or inadequate or unreasonably expensive. The Authority is presently the sole participant in the Fund.

According to Article II Paragraph 1 of the By-Laws there shall be at no time fewer Directors than the greater of (i) the number of Participants in the Fund or (ii) three (3) Directors. Paragraph 2 states each Participant shall designate one person as a Director. Not more than one (1) Director appointed by a Participant may also serve on that Participant's governing body. Paragraph 3 states that any vacancy on the Board of Directors applicable to a Participant shall be filled by appointment of such Participant.
