City board approves continued participation in Municipal League legal insurance pool
The Little Rock Board of Directors on Tuesday approved payment toward participating in the Arkansas Municipal League Legal Defense Program, a litigation risk pool that covers some expenses and provides legal assistance when the city or its employees get sued. But At-Large Director Dean Kumpuris amended the ordinance, which would send $447,766 to the league's risk pool, to allow the city to abandon the deal in 2022 if it finds another alternative.
