Beginning July 1, 2024, the Cost of Recovery Rate for all agencies was determined and
agreed to be 80.60% in year one; 81.35% in year two; and 82.10% in year three based on the
Cost of Services Study provided by The Shpigler Group. These rates were originally set to
achieve a Cost Recovery Rate of 82.1% of the total dispatching cost expenses by year five
(2025-2026), but was extended to a sixth year. As part of this Agreement, parties agree to
continue to work collectively to eliminate the need for additional “Provider” staffing by

streamlining processes, creating uniformity in procedures, and helping to develop ways to
reduce non-emergency tasks. “User” agrees to have a representative from its entity at all 911
User/Operational Committee meetings to expeditiously implement new procedures. By
utilizing technology, the “Provider” will be afforded the opportunity to have a more balanced
workload, reduce employee turnover, and add supervisory staffing, while the “User” will be
afforded a more efficient and cost savings communications network.

“Provider” and “User” will be responsible for their own cost of equipment, software,

training, licenses, and/or other fees associated with new upgrades in technology to share the workload

on non-emergency tasks on their end unless the parties agree to other arrangements.

4. Modifications, additions and other changes:

By mutual written consent, the parties may change or modify the terms of this Agreement
from time to time due to advancements in communication technology and/or additional public or
governmental demands placed upon either party. Any such changes shall become an integral part of

this Agreement upon written execution and endorsement by both “Provider” and “User”.
