KLCIS provides safety grants to its members annually. As Kentucky’s largest municipal insurance program, officials say KLCIS provides a full range of affordable liability, property, workers’ compensation and other products to municipalities. In addition, the Kentucky League of Cities offers employee benefits programs, financial services, training and education, policy and development, legislative advocacy, information technology and legal services.
