In
1978, the Association created
a self-funded Workers Compensation
program. State
law both then, and now,
requires that any fund
established by employers
for the purpose of meeting
their obligations to provide
Workers Compensation
benefits be established
and operated as a trust.
The Indemnity Agreement
and Declaration of Trust
which together form a
contract both among the
members of the Fund and
between the members and
the Board of Trustees
established and govern
the Fund and named the
Maine Municipal Association
as the Trustee. As
the declared Trustees
of the Workers Compensation
Fund, the Executive
Committee is empowered
to exercise all powers
and authorities necessary
to manage and administer
this Trust in accordance
with the Indemnity
Agreement, such as
entering into contracts,
incurring liabilities,
holding and disposing
of property, collecting
contributions and
assessments, investing
proceeds, purchasing
insurance and services,
and adopting rules
not inconsistent with
the Fund Indemnity
Agreement.
