**Background:**
The Illinois Municipal League Risk Management Association (IMLRMA) filed a lawsuit against the City of Genoa regarding a dispute over insurance coverage and liability claims.

**Facts of the Case:**

- The disagreement primarily centers on the interpretation of insurance policy provisions and whether the claims made by the City fall within the coverage provided by the IMLRMA.

2. Determination of coverage limits and obligations of the IMLRMA.
3. The applicability of municipal liability laws in the context of the claims made.
**Arguments:**
- **Plaintiff’s Argument (IMLRMA):** The association argued that the City of Genoa’s claims fall squarely within the purview of the insurance coverage it provides, and therefore, the IMLRMA is obligated to reimburse the city for its incurred costs.
