Paul Castillo and James Summers of the City of Benkelman wear protective apparel purchased through a $500 “Lean on Larm” safety grant awarded to the city. Lynette Behlke, deputy city clerk, applied for the grant to help fund the purchase of protective apparel. The League Association of Risk Management (LARM) is a risk management pool with over 170 governmental agencies across Nebraska. LARM began the Lean on LARM Safety Grant program in 2017 to assist LARM members in purchasing items that would promote safety in their communities. Over 150 grants have since been given to communities across Nebraska. For more information go to www.larmpool.org.
