2. During the term of this Agreement, the COUNTY shall annually submit a Budget Estimate for the following year of services to the MUNICIPALITY no later than August 1 of the current year. Said Budget Estimate will be for the limited purpose of better enabling the MUNICIPALITY to estimate its annual budget and tax levy. It is understood by the parties to this Agreement that said Budget Estimate shall in no way prevent the COUNTY from charging its actual costs. 3. If the MUNICIPALITY does not allocate the necessary funding for its proportionate share of the COUNTY'S Approved Budget to the MUNICIPALITIES for a given year, the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY must meet by January 31 of the budget year in question to review and reach agreement on modifications to service levels provided by the COUNTY that are consistent with the MUNICIPALITY'S budget and that recognize the impact of these service level changes to other MUNICIPALITIES that contract with the COUNTY for these services. 4. Unless the COUNTY and MUNICIPALITY have reached agreement pursuant to the prior paragraph for a change in the MUNICIPALITY'S contribution, the COUNTY shall bill the MUNICIPALITY on a monthly basis in advance in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Budget Estimate for services to the MUNICIPALITY. The MUNICIPALITY shall pay the COUNTY within 45 days of receipt of the monthly statement. At the close of the contract year, the COUNTY will reconcile the current year Budget Estimate and current year actual costs, shall provide a copy of the current year actual cost to the MUNICIPALITY, and shall either give a credit to the MUNICIPALITY or bill the MUNICIPALITY for additional costs in excess of the Budget Estimate. E. GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. Notice to the COUNTY shall be given to the County Manager and Ramsey County Sheriff, and Notice to the MUNICIPALITY shall be given to the MUNICIPALITY'S City Manager. Notice to the other MUNICIPALITIES will be given in accordance with the notice provisions of the contracts between the COUNTY and the other MUNICIPALITIES. 2. It is understood that prosecutions for violations of ordinances or state statutes, together with disposition of all fines collected pursuant thereto, shall be in accordance with state statutes, state rules, and judicial orders. 3. The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office shall submit to the MUNICIPALITY quarterly activity reports detailing the activities of the Sheriff's Office under this agreement within the MUNICIPALITY. Said reports shall contain, at a minimum, the number of calls answered and the number of citations issued. However, no information will be provided which would violate the State Data Practices Act. 6
