READ a FIRST, SECOND and THIRD TIME and FINALLY PASSED this 5th day of May, 1999. Mayor Clerk , · · · . A '- BETWEEN: THE POLICE SERVICES BOARD FOR THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF OWEN SOUND (Hereinafter called the Board) AND THE PAISLEY AND DISTRICT FIRE BOARD (Hereinafter called the Department) AND THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ARRAN-ELDERSLIE THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BROCKTON THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF KINCARDINE-BRUCE- TIVERTON THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF SAUGEEN SHORES (Hereinafter collectively called the Municipalities) AND THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF OWEN SOUND (hereinafter called the City) Whereas the Board has agreed to provide a twenty-four (24) hours per day paging service to the Paisley and District Fire Department for the purpose of receiving emergency fire department telephone calls and relaying the information received to the department using the communications system approved by the Department. The system consists of a telephone number (519-353-5100) which area residents of the Department will call to report emergency fire related incidents and calls to this telephone number will be answered by the Owen Sound Police Dispatch Centre. The emergency message received will be provided to the Department by the Dispatch Centre calling (a telephone number to be designated). The designated firefighter receiving the page will call the Dispatch Centre to confirm the emergency call information has been received. If no confirmation has been received by the dispatch centre in three minutes from a designated firefighter the Dispatch Centre will again repeat the page. If after a further three minutes no confirmation has been received, the Dispatch Centre will begin the process of calling names from a pre-designated list of contacts. Once contact has been made and the emergency message relayed, that person will be responsible for contacting all other personnel required to handle the emergency call. It is anticipated with the introduction of E 9-1-1 in the County of Bruce that residents of Bruce County will be able to dial 9-1-1 to report all emergency calls and that emergency calls for the Department will be received in the Dispatch Centre through this 9-1-1 service beginning in June 1998. The only change the introduction of E 9-1-1 service should make to this agreement is the elimination of the need for the Department to continue the practice of call forwarding to the Dispatch Centre calls made by Department area residents to your emergency number. 1 . c "'- · · · · A Now therefore this agreement witnesses that: la). Equipment related to the system presently owned or hereafter acquired by the Department and installed in its own buildings or vehicles or carried by its personnel shall be maintained to good working order by the Department.

The Dispatch Centre shall receive written notification from the Department at the beginning of each calendar year identifying the person/agency providing maintenance and repair service for system equipment. If the Dispatch Centre is unable to contact the Department to inform them of a defect in their equipment, then the Dispatch Centre may direct the said maintenance provider to correct the defect and the Department shall pay for the repairs. lc). The Department shall provide the Dispatch Centre written notice of changes to the communication system, including the names of personnel changes and telephone numbers. Such notice is to be directed to the Supervisor of Support Services, Owen Sound Dispatch Centre. 2. The Department agrees to pay for the cost of any telephone lines needed to the Dispatch Centre and from the Dispatch Centre. If the Dispatch Centre is assessed the cost of telephone lines or long distance charges as a result of this agreement, the Department agrees to compensate the Dispatch Centre for these costs. Payment for these costs shall become due and payable upon receipt of invoice by the Department. 3. If either the Department or the Board wishes to terminate its participation in this agreement, it may do so upon giving not less than one full year's notice, in writing. which said termination shall become effective regardless of when given at the end of the first fiscal year after the year in which the notice is given. Until the date of termination becomes effective the Department shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder. 4. Capital equipment cost is not anticipated for the successful operation of this service but in the unlikely event equipment should be required the parties agree that these costs will be the responsibility of the Department. 5. The cost to the Department for the paging service provided by the Dispatch Centre is to be $1.00 per capita per annum, based on the population of their service area, according to the most recent provincial census. The Board agrees to provide the service covered by this agreement for this fee through to December 31, 1999 after which the parties to this agreement are to confirm or negotiate a new fee for service. Billing for this service is to be done in Jannary each year and payment shall become due and payable upon receipt of invoice by the Department. The most recent population figures available for purposes of this agreement are as follows: Municipality of Arran-Elderslie 1,605 Municipality of Brockton 430 Township of Kincardine-Bruce- Tiverton 395 Township of Saugeen Shores 70 The cost of the paging service for the first year. if service is provided for less than twelve months shall be pro-rated by month. 2 ~ . ... 6. · ~ 7. In the event of termination by either party, all parts of the system located at the Owen Sound Police building shall remain the property of the Board and the Department sha11 not be entitled to any reimbursement. The Board will, during the term of the agreement, use its best efforts to ensure the efficient and proper operation of the system. The parties agree that the Board and the City shall have no liability to the Department as a result of the failure of the system to operate, or as a result of any act or omission by any employee in the operation of the said system. 8a).
