It is composed of 13 municipal officials appointed by the League's Board of Directors. The first self-funded pool was formed in 1981. All League administered programs are structured to meet the specific needs of municipalities. Claims and underwriting for the health program are handled by third party service providers under the direction of the RMS staff. The RMS department is housed in the David E. Reynolds Building, adjacent to the Albert Coates Local Government Center in Raleigh.
Most assistance is provided on-site.
The League provides a reimbursement program to members of the worker's compensation program for soft body armor purchases. Seminars and special training opportunities are offered frequently to meet the specific needs of municipal officials. Also, RMS makes available to participants a wide variety of pamphlets, manuals, newsletters and audio and video tapes both on regulatory and wellness topics. Wellness and EAP consultation services are provided for participants in the health and workers' compensation programs. Those services include monetary grants to help member municipalities establish wellness and EAP programs.
