If the purpose set forth in the agreement is to pool the self-insurance claims of two or more local public entities, it shall not be considered an agreement for the purposes of Section 895.2, provided that the agency responsible for carrying out the agreement is a member of the pool and the pool purchases insurance or reinsurance to cover the activities of that agency in carrying out the purposes of the agreement.
