(A) The County Council finds that it is beneficial and advantageous, and in the best interest of the county for the county to be a self-insurer with respect to workers’ compensation claims, unemployment compensation claims, and tort and general liability claims.
(B) The County Council further finds that, based on the loss experience of the county, it is economically desirable for the county to operate as a self-insurer under the terms and provisions of the State Workers’ Compensation Law, the state unemployment compensation statutes, and the general statutes and laws relating to tort and general liabilities of the county. The County Council finds that it would be desirable to create three separate funds, as hereinafter designated, in order to provide for the payment of contingent liabilities, administrative expenses, cost of investigation, legal expenses and other costs incurred in the administration of the State Workers’ Compensation Law, unemployment compensation statutes, and the payment of tort and general liability claims.
