King City, California to be booted out of the Insurance Authority?

There are ten cities in California that are members of the Monterey Bay Area Self  Insurance Authority (MBASIA)  in order to stabilize risks costs.  All ten members have equal say in governance matters — that works with Alliant Insurance Services to provide liability insurance for southern Monterey County, among other communities.

In February 2014, six members of the King City police department were arrested plus a federal lawsuit was filed seeking class action status alleging King City officials targeted low-income Latinos in a for profit tow and vehicle impoundment scheme. Source: The Californian

The MBASIA put the matter on the agenda for discussion on the possible termination of King City as a member.  Susan Stanton, city manager of Greenfield made the right decision when she declined making a statement.
