Resources on
cooperative agreements
and joint powers liabilities
The Reimer v. City of Crookston decision, which says a city can be vicariously liable for another entity's acts in some joint powers situations, has led many cities to review and reconsider their intergovernmental arrangements. Get resources on managing risks of intergovernmental agreements
Automatic External Defibrillator programs
As more and more cities are becoming involved in automatic external defibrillator (AED) programs, questions have arisen about liability, insurance coverage, and risk management strategies. If your city is considering or already operating an AED program, review several comprehensive reference materials and resources on AEDs available in the LMCIT Library.

Loss Control Video Library
The LMCIT Video Catalog details over 200 videos that share important loss control and risk management information.
