<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. The Secretary of the Regional Mutual Aid Association shall maintain a current list of <br />the parties to this Agreement and, whenever there is a change in the parties to this Agreement, he shall <br />notify the designated responding official of each of the parties of such change. <br /> <br />Subd. 3. Upon joining the Regional Mutual Aid Association, the party shall submit a list of their <br />equipment to the Association Secretary. This equipment list shall be updated annually and submitted <br />to the Association Secretary by December 31st of each year. <br /> <br />Subd. 4. The Association Secretary shall distribute the equipment lists to all members. An <br />equipment addendum sheet shall be distributed to all member parties by January 30th of each year. <br /> <br />IV. PROCEDURE <br /> <br />Subd. 1. Each party shall designate, and keep on file with the Secretary of the Regional Mutual <br />Aid Association the name of the person of that party who shall be its requesting official and responding <br />official. A party may designate alternate officials to act in the absence of the primary official. <br /> <br />Subd. 2. Whenever, in the opinion of a requesting official of a party, there is a need for <br />assistance from other parties to assist the requesting party, such requesting official may, in his <br />discretion, call upon the responding official of any other party to furnish assistance to and within the <br />boundaries of the requesting party. It is the intention of the parties to this contract to cooperate in the <br />event of an emergency by making available to a requesting party necessary or requested personnel, <br />materials, and equipment (without undue delay). <br /> <br />Subd. 3. Upon the receipt of a request for assistance from a party, the responding official for any <br />other party may authorize and direct the personnel of the responding party to provide assistance to the <br />requesting party. Whether the responding party shall provide such assistance to the requesting party <br />and, if so, to what extent such assistance shall be provided shall be determined solely by the responding <br />official (subject to such supervision and direction as may be applicable to him within the governmental <br />structure of the party by which he is employed). Failure to provide assistance will not result in liability <br />to a party. <br /> <br />Subd. 4. When a responding party provides assistance under the terms of this Agreement, it may <br />in turn request assistance from other parties as "backup" during the time that it is providing assistance <br />outside its boundaries. <br /> <br />Subd. 5. Whenever a responding party has provided assistance to a requesting party, the <br />responding official may at any time recall such assistance or any part thereof to the responding party, <br />if the responding official in his best judgment deems this is in the best interest of his own agency. <br /> <br />Subd. 6. When a responding party supplies equipment and personnel to a requesting party, said <br />equipment and personnel shall remain under the direction and control of the responding party; shall <br />be paid by the responding party; shall be protected by the Worker's Compensation of the responding <br />party; and shall otherwise be deemed to be performing their regular duties for the responding party. <br />However, the responding party shall undertake to coordinate with the requesting party the assistance <br />which it provides. The requesting party shall provide all routine fueling and servicing of respondents <br />equipment, materials, and assume all costs thereof during the assistance period. <br /> <br />11/96 <br /> <br />-2- <br />
