shown in SCHEDULE A - SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES CONTRACTED FOR AND TO BE ASSIGNED
TO MUNICIPALITY (hereafter "SCHEDULE A"), which is attached to, incorporated in and made
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 2
part of this Agreement, to perform any and all 0.C.S.D. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES
enntAmplated in this Agreement within the corporate limit3 of the MUNICIPALITY, including all
private roads. LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, as defined above, shall not include 0.C.S.D.
police-related "Support Services," such as Marine Division, Arson Investigation, Detective and
Crime Lab services, which the 0.C.S.D. now provides on a County-wide basis, unless expressly
stated to the contrary herein. Nevertheless, such additional "Support Services" shall continue to
be made available, at no additional cost to the MUNICIPALITY, to the same extent that the
0.C.S.D. continues to make such law enforcement "Support Services" available, at no additional
charge, to all other communities within Oakland County.
a. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that, except as provided for under the terms
of this Agreement, the SHERIFF has only limited responsibility for LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in the MUNICIPALITY and is not otherwise required,
except as provided herein, to assign any specific Number(s) or Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The SHERIFF will make every reasonable effort to provide professional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY, following generally accepted
standards for police protection, with the levels of staff provided for in SCHEDULE A.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not
be interpreted to include any warranty, promise or guaranty, either express or implied, or
of any kind or nature whatsoever, in favor of the MUNICIPALITY and/or any other person
or MUNICIPALITY resident that the 0.C.S.D.'S provision of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES under this Agreement will result in any specific reduction or prevention of
criminal activity within the MUNICIPALITY or any other performance-based outcome.
3. The 0.C.S.D. and the MUNICIPALITY agree that the sole and exclusive purpose of this
Agreement is to provide governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in and for the
MUNICIPALITY. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, the
MUNICIPALITY agrees that this Agreement does not, and is not intended to, create, by
implication or otherwise, any specific, direct or indirect obligation, duty, promise, benefit, and/or
special right to 0.C.S.D.' s LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES in favor of or to the benefit of any
particular person(s) beyond the 0.C.S.D.'S and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S law enforcement
officer duty, as established under existing law, to the general public.
4. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
contracted for and assigned to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the
MUNICIPALITY, as provided for in SCHEDULE A, shall work, during those hours for which the
MUNICIPALITY is being charged, only on MUNICIPALITY-related police matters. It is
understood and agreed, however, that "Mutual Aid" between communities may be provided to
surrounding communities. "Mutual Aid," as used in the previous sentence, means that any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to the MUNICIPALITY may be absent from
the MUNICIPALITY, at MUNICIPALITY expense, when temporarily called to the aid of another
community due to an emergency or other exceptional circumstance or because a SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY possesses some special skill or qualification temporarily needed in that other
community.
5. Under the terms of this Agreement, the 0.C.S.D. shall assign to the MUNICIPALITY the
Number(s) and Rank(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES shown in SCHEDULE A to perform all of the
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES contemplated under this Agreement. As used throughout
this Agreement, any reference to the Number(s) of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES, as shown in
SCHEDULE A, shall be defined and quantified as EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 3
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-weekly period by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY of the
specified Rank(s), for each of the SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES contracted for and assigned by the
SHERIFF to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
a. Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this subparagraph or in
SCHEDULE A, whenever any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to
provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY is not present in the
MUNICIPALITY geographical area, due to any of the reasons described in
subparagraphs 1 - 6 below, such periods of time shall be included in and counted toward
the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the bi-weekly period
in which it occurred.
1. Travel time, on a daily basis, to or from the 0.C.S.D. in Pontiac, Michigan,
at the beginning or end of any shift by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, if that
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S shift starts or ends in Pontiac;
2. Attendance (not to exceed 100 hours per SHERIFF'S DEPUTY per
calendar year) at any 0.C.S.D. authorized or required training session, function or
meeting;
3. Provision of any Mutual Aid as described and defined above;
4. Appearance in any Court or at any meeting with any other law
enforcement agency in connection with any prosecution or Court appearance
related to MUNICIPALITY law enforcement activities;
5. Performance of any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for the
MUNICIPALITY that takes any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY outside the
MUNICIPALITY'S geographical area; and
6. Any approved period of annual leave, sick leave, holiday leave, personal
leave, or any other approved, paid leave (except any paid disciplinary leave
and/or long-term disability leave extending beyond a period of five (5) working
days) granted to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in accordance with applicable
0.C.S.D. policies, procedures, and/or employment contracts.
b. Subject to the SHERIFF'S right to consolidate the assigned shifts of SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES in order to concentrate law enforcement efforts to meet particular law
enforcement priorities and needs, the SHERIFF shall assign shifts to SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES contracted for under this Agreement so as to provide the broadest possible
coverage of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY.
c. All 0.C.S.D. policies, procedures, employment contracts, etc., which may be
applicable to this Agreement shall be made available by the SHERIFF for inspection by
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON at the 0.C.S.D., by appointment, during normal business
hours.
6. Subject to the SHERIFF'S sole discretion and judgment as to the county-wide
prioritization of resources and law enforcement needs, any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, beyond the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES during a bi-weekly period, as provided for in this Agreement, may be made available
by the SHERIFF to the MUNICIPALITY on an overtime basis. Except for overtime incurred due
to late calls, report writing, court appearances, emergencies, or holiday pay overtime, as shown
in SCHEDULE B - HOLIDAY PAY (hereafter "SCHEDULE B") which is attached to, incorporated
.f2
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 4
in and made a part of this Agreement, all other overtime charges incurred by any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY, which are charged to the MUNICIPALITY, shall be approved, in advance, in writing, by
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. Any such additional hours of SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES provided shall be invoiced to and paid by the MUNICIPALITY
directly to the COUNTY at the Overtime Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C - HOURLY
RATES (hereafter "SCHEDULE C") which is attached to, incorporated in and made a part of this
Agreement, and shall be in addition to any amounts otherwise due and owing under the terms of
this Agreement. If, however, in the unlikely event that the 0.C.S.D. is able to provide any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES as requested by the MUNICIPALITY
in addition to the EIGHTY (80) HOURS of LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES during a bi-weekly
period, as provided for in this Agreement, without the 0.C.S.D. actually incurring any direct or
indirect obligation to pay any overtime premium to any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY as a result, the
Regular Hourly Rates shown in SCHEDULE C for those additional hours of LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES for which the 0.C.S.D. does not incur any overtime obligation shall
be invoiced and paid by the MUNICIPALITY as otherwise provided herein. All holiday pay
charges to the MUNICIPALITY shall be calculated and invoiced in accordance with SCHEDULE
B.
7. The MUNICIPALITY shall not have the right under this Agreement to assign, delegate, or
otherwise, transfer, promise, commit, or lend any 0.C.S.D.'S or SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S services,
duties, or obligations under this Agreement to any other public or private person, corporation,
entity, or organization of any kind. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY perceives the need for
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond those SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES' services contracted for in SCHEDULE A, due to some unusual MUNICIPALITY
circumstances that, in the MUNICIPALITY'S judgment, may require additional LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES, the MUNICIPALITY shall address such concerns for additional
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the SHERIFF as provided for in this Agreement (i.e.,
preceding Paragraph).
8. The MUNICIPALITY will pay the 0.C.S.D. for all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered pursuant to this Agreement at the bi-weekly rates shown
in SCHEDULE A. The MUNICIPALITY further agrees to reimburse the 0.C.S.D. for any and all
additional hours of work, overtime, and/or holiday pay costs incurred by the 0.C.S.D. in providing
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this Agreement.
For every bi-weekly period (corresponding to established 0.C.S.D. payroll periods) during which
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY renders any LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY
under the terms of this Agreement, the 0.C.S.D. shall prepare and send to the MUNICIPALITY
an invoice that sets forth the bi-weekly amount due for each SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES rendered during that bi-weekly period, plus any charges for any
additional hours of work, overtime, and/or holiday pay, as provided for herein, during that bi-
weekly billing period. All overtime charges are to be itemized and designated for the reason
incurred. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay to the COUNTY the full amounts due on any such
invoice within 30 days of the invoice date.
9. Should the MUNICIPALITY fail, for any reason, to timely pay the COUNTY the amounts
required under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that upon notice from the Oakland
County Treasurer to the Treasurer of the State of Michigan (or any other State of Michgian
official authoirized to disburse funds to the MUNICIPALITY), the State of Michgian is authoirized
to withold any funds due the MUNICIPALITY from the State and assign those funds to partially
or completely offset any deficiency by the MUNCIPALITY to the County. Such funds shall be
paid directly to the COUNTY. Further, the MUNCIPALITY waives any claims against the State
or COUNTY, or their respective officials, for any such amounts paid to the COUNTY.
Furthermore, should the MUNICIPALITY fail for any reason to timely pay the COUNTY the
.f2
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 5
amounts required under this Agreement, the County Treasurer shall be entitled to set-off and
retain any amounts due the MUNICIPALITY from Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund ("DTFR") or
any other source of funds due to the MUNCIPALITY in possession of the County, to partially or
completely offset any deficiency by the MUNICIPALITY, unless expressly prohibited by law.
Such a transfer shall be considered an assignment unless expressly prohibited by law. Such a
transfer shall be considered an assignment by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. Further, the
MUNICIPALITY waives any claims against the COUNTY, or its officials, for any such amounts
paid to the COUNTY. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to limit in any way the COUNTY'S
right to pursue any other legal remedies against the MUNC1PALITY for the reimbursement of
amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph are available
to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis, as the MUNICIPALITY becomes
delinquent in its payments.
10. The MUNICIPALITY and the 0.C.S.D. agree and warrant that neither the 0.C.S.D. nor
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be considered or
claimed to be an employee of the MUNICIPALITY and further agree that, at all times and for all
purposes under the terms of this Agreement, the 0.C.S.D.'S legal status and relationship to the
MUNICIPALITY shall be that of an INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The MUNICIPALITY also
agrees that in any writing or any other communication prepared by, for, or at the direction of the
MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall neither state, suggest, nor imply that any employment
status and/or employment relationship exists between any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and the
MUNICIPALITY.
11. The MUNICIPALITY and the 0.C.S.D. agree and warrant that, at all times and for all
purposes relevant to this Agreement, the 0.C.S.D. shall remain the sole and exclusive employer
of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES and that the 0.C.S.D. shall remain solely and exclusively
responsible for the payment of all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES' wages, compensation, overtime
wages, expenses, fringe benefits, pension or retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage
allowances, training expenses, transportation costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements
of any kind, including, but not limited to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment
compensation, Social Security Act protection(s) and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any
other statutory or contractual right or benefit based, in any way, upon any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY'S status as an employee of the 0.C.S.D. Except as expressly provided otherwise in
this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY shall not grant, give, allow, pay, reimburse, compensate, or
otherwise provide any wages, fringe benefits, privileges, gifts, equipment, automobiles, personal
property, supplies, benefits, entitlement, consideration (monetary or otherwise) or any other thing
of value, either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY. Any consideration, monetary or otherwise, paid directly to the COUNTY and/or any
personal property, automobiles, or any portable equipment (e.g., portable telephones, portable
computers, beepers, etc.) supplied, provided, and/or leased directly to the COUNTY shall not,
for any purpose of this Agreement, be interpreted as being provided by the MUNICIPALITY,
either directly or indirectly, to, for the use by, or on behalf of, any individual SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
12. The MUNICIPALITY may, in its discretion, in such locations and circumstances as it
decides, provide suitable office space, office equipment, all required utilities and related
facilities (e.g., desks, chairs, copying machines, fax machines, typewriters, permanently installed
telephones, lockers, locker room facilities, uniform changing areas, etc.) in MUNICIPALITY-
owned or leased buildings to the 0.C.S.D. for use by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the
MUNICIPALITY, which shall be referred to as a MUNICIPALITY "Sub-Station". Alternatively, the
0.C.S.D. may provide or supplement any existing desks, chairs, copying machines, fax
machines, etc. located in the MUNICIPALITY Sub-Station with 0.C.S.D. personal property and
equipment. The MUNICIPALITY acknowledges that the MUNICIPALITY benefits in providing a
.f2
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 6
Sub-Station for 0.C.S.D. use by minimizing the time spent by SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned
to the MUNICIPALITY driving from the main 0.C.S.D. Law Enforcement Complex in Pontiac,
Michigan, to the MUNICIPALITY to perform certain paper and desk work and eliminating the
"lost drive time" to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES within the MUNICIPALITY due to
the fact that SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES otherwise would begin and end their work shift(s) at the
main 0.C.S.D. Law Enforcement Complex instead of within the MUNICIPALITY. The
MUNICIPALITY'S provision of any Sub-Station facilities and/or the use of any Sub-Station
facilities by the 0.C.S.D. shall be by mutual agreement and consent of the parties. Under no
circumstances shall the MUNICIPALITY be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to
provide any such Sub-Station facilities, nor shall the 0.C.S.D. be obligated to use any such Sub-
Station facilities if offered. If the MUNICIPALITY decides it will offer to provide the 0.C.S.D. with
Sub-Station facilities and the 0.C.S.D. agrees to use such Sub-Station facilities, the following
terms and conditions shall apply:
a. Use of a Sub-Station shall be deemed to be a MUNICIPALITY grant of a
revocable, nonexclusive License over that portion of such MUNICIPALITY premises for
use by the 0.C.S.D. and SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES assigned to the MUNICIPALITY.
b. The MUNICIPALITY will be responsible for maintenance of the premises, which
includes: any necessary repairs, improvements, installation and maintenance of all
necessary security locks, devices and fire safety devices and safety precautions,
reconstruction, custodial services, including rubbish and trash removal for the Facility,
and also includes the provision of utilities required to operate the facility for the purposes
of this License, including, but not limited to, heat, air conditioning, power, and water (but
excluding any monthly telephone charges for permanently installed Sub-Station
telephone), at no cost to the 0.C.S.D.
c. Use of the Sub-Station License shall end upon the termination or expiration of
this Agreement as provided herein. Any such Sub-Station License shall also be
terminable, at any time and for any reason, by either the MUNICIPALITY, the COUNTY,
or the SHERIFF
d. Subject to, and under all circumstances subordinate to, any MUNICIPALITY
rights or protections under any MUNICIPALITY insurance policy, or similar agreement
with any third party, protecting the MUNICIPALITY against any loss or damage to any
Sub-Station premises, from fire or any other peril, the COUNTY shall be responsible for
any damage to any Sub-Station facility directly caused by or directly resulting from the act
of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, normal wear and tear excepted. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES
shall use due care in their use of any Sub-Station facilities and equipment.
13. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that this
Agreement does not, and is not intended to, transfer, delegate, or assign to the COUNTY, the
SHERIFF, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY any civil or legal responsibility, obligation, duty of
care, or liability associated with any governmental function delegated and/or entrusted to the
MUNICIPALITY under existing law.
14. Except as expressly provided for under the terms of this Agreement, no SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY while acting under the terms of this Agreement shall perform any services directly or
otherwise be available to perform any other work or assignments, and no SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
shall be otherwise employed or utilized, in any manner or capacity, by the MUNICIPALITY.
15. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may contact the 0.C.S.D. LIAISON, as defined above, to
request, advise, or otherwise make the 0.C.S.D. aware of particular law enforcement needs and
.12
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 7
services within the MUNICIPALITY, or to provide other relevant information which has come to
the attention of the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON. The MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may also bring to
the SHERIFF'S attention any concerns that the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON may have regarding
the assignment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY to the MUNICIPALITY. The SHERIFF shall provide
the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON an opportunity to interview and meet any command officers before
they are assigned to the MUNICIPALITY; however, the SHERIFF'S decision on the assignment
of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY shall be final. The 0.C.S.D. LIAISON shall, only to the extent that
any such communication would not interfere in an ongoing criminal investigation or prosecution,
keep the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON reasonably informed regarding criminal and/or law
enforcement activities within the MUNICIPALITY and advise the MUNICIPALITY LIAISON, as
soon as practicable, of any changes in any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY contracted for and assigned to
perform LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to the MUNICIPALITY under the terms of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, however, neither the MUNICIPALITY nor the
MUNICIPALITY LIAISON shall otherwise provide, furnish or assign any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
with any job instructions, job descriptions, job specifications, or job duties, or in any manner
attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY in the performance of any
0.C.S.D.'S duty or obligation under the terms of this Agreement.
16. The MUNICIPALITY agrees to promptly notify and/or provide the SHERIFF with any
information that may come to its knowledge or possession regarding any act contrary to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any other questionable act(s) or omission(s), or any
allegation of same, by any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees that it shall
promptly deliver to the SHERIFF written notice and copies of any complaint(s), charge(s), or any
other accusation(s) or allegation(s) of wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in nature, which the
MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of regarding any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The MUNICIPALITY
agrees to cooperate with the 0.C.S.D. in any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF into the
character and/or fitness of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
17. The 0.C.S.D. shall be solely and exclusively responsible for providing SHERIFF'S
DEPUTIES with all necessary tools, automobiles, radios, communications equipment, firearms,
and any and all other equipment that the 0.C.S.D., in its sole judgment, deems required or
beneficial for the completion of any 0.C.S.D.'S duty under the terms of this Agreement. The
0.C.S.D. shall also be solely and exclusively responsible for any and all SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES'
business expenses, licenses, taxes, uniform or equipment costs, insurance(s), supplies, etc.,
except that any stationery, notices, forms, MUNICIPALITY ordinance appearance tickets, etc.,
which are required to bear the name of the MUNICIPALITY, shall be supplied to the 0.C.S.D. by
the MUNICIPALITY at the MUNICIPALITY'S sole cost and expense. In the event that the
MUNICIPALITY wants any special or additional personal property or equipment (i.e., cellular
telephones, beepers, personal items or equipment, portable computers, automobiles,
motorcycles, etc.) to be provided, at MUNICIPALITY expense or otherwise, to any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY assigned to the MUNICIPALITY, the MUNICIPALITY shall direct such requests to the
0.C.S.D. which shall solely decide whether such personal property or special equipment shall be
provided. Any and all such additional personal property, portable or individual use equipment or
property, and/or any special equipment to be provided by the MUNICIPALITY shall be provided
directly and exclusively to the 0.C.S.D., and then ONLY pursuant to a separate written lease
agreement between the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY. As intended by this Paragraph and
elsewhere in this Agreement, no personal property, supplies, or other equipment, nor the use
thereof, shall be provided or made available by the MUNICIPALITY directly to any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY, except through a written lease as provided for in this paragraph.
18. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the COUNTY agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold the MUNICIPALITY or any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL (as defined above)
harmless from any and all civil claims, civil actions, civil suits, or civil proceedings (together with
J2
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 8
all reasonable and directly related and resulting costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities) which
are brought against the MUNICIPALITY or any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL by any person other
than the COUNTY or SHERIFF, or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY that the MUNICIPALITY or any
MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL both incurred and becomes legally obligated to pay, which are based
upon or resulted from any alleged negligent or intentionally tortious act(s) or omission(s) of any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, which act(s) or omission(s) occurred while any such SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
was acting to fulfill any 0.C.S.D. obligation or responsibility as described and limited by this
Agreement. The COUNTY, however, shall have no obligation to the MUNICIPALITY or any
MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL under this Paragraph in any civil claim, civil action, or civil suit by any
MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL or MUNICIPALITY AGENT (as defined above) for any element of
loss or damages by the MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL or MUNICIPALITY AGENT for any past,
present, or future wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe benefits, pension or
retirement benefits, travel expenses, mileage allowances, training expenses, transportation
costs, and/or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind, including, but not limited to,
workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation, Social Security Act protection(s)
and benefits, any employment taxes, and/or any other statutory or contractual right or benefit
based, in any way, upon any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIALS or any MUNICIPALITY AGENT status
as an officer, employee or agent of the MUNICIPALITY for any alleged intentional tort, infliction
of emotional distress, or any alleged violation of any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL'S or
MUNICIPALITY AGENT'S statutory, contractual, or constitutional rights by the MUNICIPALITY
or any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL or MUNICIPALITY AGENT.
19. The MUNICIPALITY also agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the COUNTY, the
SHERIFF, and/or any COUNTY OFFICIAL harmless from any and all civil claims, civil actions,
civil suits, or civil proceedings (together with all reasonable and directly related and resulting
costs, expenses, damages, and liabilities) which are brought against the COUNTY, the
SHERIFF, and/or any COUNTY OFFICIAL by any person other than the MUNICIPALITY, the
SHERIFF, any COUNTY OFFICIAL, and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY that the COUNTY, the
SHERIFF, and/or any COUNTY OFFICIAL incurred and/or becomes legally obligated to pay,
which are based upon or resulted from any alleged negligent or intentional tortious act(s) or
omission(s) of any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL or MUNICIPALITY AGENT.
20. Notwithstanding the indemnification obligations of the MUNICIPALITY or the COUNTY
described in the preceding two Paragraphs, neither the COUNTY nor the MUNICIPALITY shall
be required or obligated to defend, indemnify, and/or hold any party, the officials or agents of any
party, and/or any person harmless in any criminal investigation, criminal case, criminal
prosecution or criminal proceeding or pay any costs, expenses, fines, damages, or liabilities of
any kind whatsoever which are incurred in or result from any criminal investigation or
prosecution.
21. The MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY agree that any and all indemnification and hold
harmless promises, liabilities, and any MUNICIPALITY payment obligations provided for in this
Agreement, with regard to any acts, occurrences, events, transactions, or claims either occurring
or having their basis in any events or transactions that occurred before the cancellation or
expiration of this Agreement, shall survive the cancellation or expiration of this Agreement.
22. It is neither the intent of the COUNTY nor the MUNICIPALITY that this hold harmless or
indemnification provision, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall inure, either directly or
indirectly, to the benefit of any person or party other than the COUNTY, the MUNICIPALITY, the
SHERIFF, any MUNICIPALITY OFFICIAL, and any COUNTY OFFICIAL, as defined and
provided for herein. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement does not, and is not
intended to, create, by implication or otherwise, any direct or indirect obligation, duty, promise,
benefit, and/or right to be indemnified, or any other right of any kind in favor of any person,
.f2

Page 9
organization, alleged third-party beneficiary, or any right to be contractually, legally, equitably, or
otherwise subrogated to any indemnification or any other right provided under the terms of this
Agreement.
23. Subject to the following Paragraph, this Agreement shall become effective at 12:01 A.M.,
January 1, 2004, and shall remain in effect continuously until it expires, without any further act or
notice being required by either party, at 11:59 P.M. on December 31, 2008. In addition, any party
may terminate this Agreement, prior to its December 31, 2008 expiration, upon written
notification to all others at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date, which
date shall be clearly stated in the written notice. Upon the expiration or termination of this
Agreement, all further 0.C.S.D.'S obligations to provide LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES to
the MUNICIPALITY under this Agreement shall end.
24. This Agreement, and any subsequent amendments, shall not become effective prior to
the approval by concurrent resolutions of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and the
MUNICIPALITY Governing Body. The approval and terms of this Agreement shall be entered in
the official minutes and proceedings of the COUNTY Board of Commissioners and
MUNICIPALITY Governing Body and shall also be filed with the office of the Clerk for the
COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY. In addition, this Agreement and any subsequent
amendments shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the State of Michigan by the 0.C.S.D.
and shall not become effective or implemented prior to its filing with the Secretary of State.
25. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY wishes to enter into a new agreement for LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES upon the expiration of this Agreement, it will notify the 0.C.S.D., in
writing, of this intent no later than July 31, 2008. If the MUNICIPALITY, as above, notifies the
0.C.S.D. of its intent to enter into a new agreement, and the 0.C.S.D. has a similar interest, the
0.C.S.D. shall present the MUNICIPALITY with a new proposed agreement for continued LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES on, or before, August 22, 2008. In no event shall this paragraph
be interpreted to obligate the 0.C.S.D. or the MUNICIPALITY to continue any Agreement for any
LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES beyond the expiration of this Agreement unless a new fully
executed contract is executed by the parties. In the event that the MUNICIPALITY terminates
this Agreement or elects not to enter into a subsequent agreement because it decides to
establish its own police department, the MUNICIPALITY agrees to consider for employment in its
police department any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY who may be laid off by the 0.C.S.D. as a result of
this decision, but in no event shall the MUNICIPALITY be obligated to hire any such SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY.
26. The parties shall send, by first class mail, all correspondence and written notices
required or permitted by this Agreement to each signatory to this Agreement, or any signatory
successor in office, to the addresses shown in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided
for herein, all correspondence or written notices shall be considered delivered to a party as of
the date that such notice is deposited with sufficient postage with the U.S. Postal Service.
27. This Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to create, change, modify,
supplement, supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner or at any time, the terms or
conditions of employment of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the 0.C.S.D., any applicable
0.C.S.D. employment and/or union contract, and/or any 0.C.S.D. rule(s), regulation(s), hours of
work, shift assignment, order(s), policy(ies), procedure(s), directive(s), ethical guideline(s), etc.,
which shall, solely and exclusively, govern and control the employment relationship between the
0.C.S.D. and any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or the conduct and actions of any SHERIFF'S
DEPUTY. To illustrate, but not otherwise limit, this Agreement does not and shall not be
interpreted to limit, modify, control, or otherwise affect, in any manner:
0.C.S.D. 2004-2008 LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF INDEPENDENCE
Page 10
.12
a. The complete and unilateral discretion of the SHERIFF to either continue or
revoke the deputization of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY, or any other person who, in the
SHERIFF'S sole judgment, he does not believe is qualified or otherwise fit to be a
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY.
b. The 0.C.S.D.'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, responsibility, and discretion
to employ, compensate, assign, reassign, transfer, promote, reclassify, discipline,
demote, layoff, furlough, discharge any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY and/or pay any and all
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S wages, salaries, allowances, reimbursements, compensation,
fringe benefits, or otherwise decide any and all such terms and conditions of employment
and make any and all employment decisions that affect, in any way, the employment of
any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY with the 0.C.S.D, subject only to its collective bargaining
Agreements.
c. The SHERIFF'S sole and exclusive right, obligation, and responsibility to
determine, establish, modify, or implement any and all operational policies, procedures,
orders, rules, regulations, ethical guidelines, and/or any other judgment, policy or
directive which, in any way, governs or controls any activity of any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY,
any necessary SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S training standards or proficiency(ies), any level or
amount of required supervision, any and all standards of performance, any sequence or
manner of performance, and any level(s) of experience, training, or education required
for any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY performing any 0.C.S.D. duty or obligation under the terms
of this Agreement.
28. The SHERIFF and the COUNTY reserve to themselves any rights and obligations
relating to the provision of any and all police and/or governmental LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVICES, and this Agreement does not, and is not intended to, diminish, delegate, divest,
impair, or contravene any constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power,
obligation, duty, capacity, immunity, or character of office of either the SHERIFF, the COUNTY,
and/or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY. The COUNTY and the SHERIFF further acknowledge and
agree that this Agreement is neither intended, nor shall it be interpreted, so as to create, grant,
modify, supersede, alter, or change, in any manner or form, any right, privilege, benefit, or any
other term or condition of employment, of any kind or nature whatsoever, in, upon, or for any
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY or any SHERIFF'S DEPUTY'S agent(s), representative(s), union(s), or the
successor(s) or assign(s) of any of them.
29. This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of Michigan and shall in all
respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the laws of the State of Michigan. The
language of all parts of this Agreement shall in all cases be construed as a whole, according to
its fair meaning, and not construed strictly for or against any party. As used in this Agreement,
the singular or plural number, the possessive or nonpossessive, shall be deemed to include the
other whenever the context so indicates or requires.
30. Absent an expressly written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted
under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right with regard to any existing or
subsequent breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
any other right, power or privilege.
31. This Agreement shall be binding upon the COUNTY, the SHERIFF, and the
MUNICIPALITY to the extent permitted by law, upon their successors and assigns, and all
persons acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them.

between the 0.C.S.D. and the MUNICIPALITY with regard to the 0.C.S.D.'S provision of LAW

RE: Independence Township's Request for
Two Additional Deputies
Dear Sheriff Bouchard:
At its meeting of October 21, 2003, the Township Board approved the
hiring of two (2) patrol investigators who will mainly cover the neighborhoods of
the Township for traffic and vandalism complaints and to be a liaison for
subdivision associations.
We are requesting these positions be added to our existing contract
effective immediately.

Motion by Kelly, supported by Wagner, to hire HRC to perform the pavement evaluation
for an amount not to exceed $2,100.00. The motion carried unanimously.
7. MDEQ Abandoned Well Management Program
This item was removed from the agenda.
8. Approval of 2004-2008 Law Enforcement Services Agreement
Mr. Stuart explained that the County miscalculated the amount of monies they had set
aside for pension benefits. Therefore all of the contracting communities are paying into
this account to help with that It is an amount that is blended over the 4-year period so
that the contract increases are about the same for every year. It varies between
different levels of contract service. It is approximately 7.2% per year.
Mrs. McCrary questioned the "fill" and "no fill" situations. She wondered if that meant
that at times the Township will not have a full service corps on the road.
Lt. LaBair explained that a fill contract means that for every body "out" there will be a
body "in." He did not feel that it would be cost effective to have a fill contract with the
size of staffing in the Township.
Motion by McCrary, supported by Rosso, to approve the 2004-2008 Law Enforcement
Services Agreement with the Oakland County Sheriff's Department. The motion
carried unanimously.
9. Approval of Hiring Two Sheriff's Deputies for Subdivision Patrol
Lt. LaBair presented a proposal to hire two Patrol Investigators to be used exclusively to
patrol neighborhoods primarily for traffic and vandalism complaints, liaison with
neighborhood associations to prevent those types of activities and generally preserve
and promote the security and quality of life in Independence Township neighborhoods.
The Patrol Investigator position provides for an equipped vehicle fro each position which
would allow him to assign them to simultaneous duties.
Mr. Stuart said that this was presented to the Board in discussions of the 2004 budget.
He asked the Lieutenant to bring this to the Board at this time because he would like
approval from the Board as soon as possible because it is going to take time to hire the
individuals, equip them and make sure that there are sufficient funds in the fund balance
for the Sheriffs department to do so.
Mr. Wenger said that the project makes sense. He wanted the public to understand that
the new hires would come from the police millage which is dedicated and approved by
the voters. The Township is being hit with lack of revenue and reduced revenue for the
general fund but dedicated funds such as police and fire are generating millage not
connected with State shared revenue.
Lt. LaBair commented that the voted in millage is more than sufficient to cover all of the
positions in the original budget plus the two additional officers.
Mr. Rosso noted that there are other communities in Oakland County that are doing this
same program. This is a true, proven and tested program.
Mrs. McCrary noted that there are 26 miles of gravel roads and non-subdivision people
that have break-ins too. She wondered what would happen if these patrol investigators
are concentrated in certain areas all the time.
Lt. LaBair explained that these individuals would move in different areas which will free
up other officers. These patrol investigators will focus on problems not just the local.
Mr. Stuart said that this program will be Township wide to respond to vandalism, traffic
complaints, etc.
Lt. LaBair said that these two individuals will be available to the residents who want to
report lesser crimes.
I, Joan E. McCrary, thc duly elected Clerk of the
Charter Township of Independence, Oakland County,
MI, do hereby certify that the above is a true copy
of the Township Board minutes of October 21, 2003.
