2024 – 2027 FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN COUNTY OF OAKLAND
AND
THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF BRANDON
April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2027
This Agreement is made and entered into between the COUNTY OF OAKLAND, a Michigan Constitutional and Municipal Corporation, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan 48341 (the "COUNTY"), and the CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF BRANDON whose address is 395 Mill Street, P.O. Box 929, Ortonville, Michigan, 48462 (the “MUNICIPALITY”). In this Agreement, the COUNTY shall be represented by the OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF, in their official capacity as a Michigan Constitutional Officer, whose address is 1200 North Telegraph Road, Bldg. 38 E., Pontiac, Michigan 48341 (the "SHERIFF"). In this Agreement, whenever the COUNTY and the SHERIFF are intended to be referred to jointly, they shall collectively be referred to as the "OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE" ("O.C.S.O."). INTRODUCTION
WHEREAS, the MUNICIPALITY is authorized by law to provide fire protection service for its
residents; and
WHEREAS, to provide effective fire protection services for its residents, the MUNICIPALITY
must also provide municipal fire department communication and dispatch functions; and
WHEREAS, the O.C.S.O. provides police communication and dispatch functions and has the
capability to provide fire dispatch for the MUNICIPALITY but, absent this Agreement, is not
obligated to provide FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE for the MUNICIPALITY; and
WHEREAS, the COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY may enter into a contract by which the
O.C.S.O. would provide FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE for the MUNICIPALITY; and
WHEREAS, the MUNICIPALITY has concluded that it is more cost effective for the

staff its own fire communication and dispatch center; and
WHEREAS, the O.C.S.O. agrees to provide FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE for the MUNICIPAL
FIRE PERSONNEL, under the following terms and conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:

reasonable O.C.S.O. or COUNTY AGENT(S) efforts, an O.C.S.O. or COUNTY AGENT(S)
attempt to communicate or provide FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES(S) for MUNICIPAL FIRE

O.C.S.O. warranty, promise, or guarantee of any kind or nature whatsoever concerning the
provision of FIRE DISPATCH SERVICES(S) to the MUNICIPALITY except that the
COUNTY will make a reasonable effort to provide FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE(S) for

alter, modify, or develop any different O.C.S.O. dispatch related procedures, policies, and/or
standards; purchase or use any special or additional equipment; or, alternatively, prohibit the
O.C.S.O. from implementing any future communication-related changes that the O.C.S.O., in
its sole judgment and discretion, believes to be in its best interest.

Agreement for guaranteeing that: (a) all MUNICIPAL FIRE PERSONNEL radios and other

10. The MUNICIPALITY shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all fees, costs, expenses,
and liabilities, including any connectivity costs, associated with the purchase, lease, operation,
and/or use of any MUNICIPAL FIRE PERSONNEL radio or other communication
equipment. The O.C.S.O. shall not be obligated to provide MUNICIPAL FIRE PERSONNEL
with any radio or other communication equipment of any kind. The MUNICIPALITY shall
not be obligated under the terms of this Agreement to supply or provide the O.C.S.O. with any
additional telephones, telephone lines, radios, other communication equipment, or property.
11. The O.C.S.O. may, at its sole discretion and expense, inspect any MUNICIPAL FIRE
PERSONNEL radio or other communication equipment to ensure that it conforms with
applicable O.C.S.O. dispatching procedures, policies, standards, technical specifications,
and/or state and federal law. If the inspection reveals a lack of conformance, the O.C.S.O.
shall notify the MUNICIPALITY in writing of the specific violations. The MUNICIPALITY
shall address and correct such violations at its own expense within thirty (30) calendar days of
receiving the written notice or present a written plan to O.C.S.O. within 15 calendar days

and/or correct such violations within the time period set forth in this paragraph, the O.C.S.O.
may terminate and/or cancel the Agreement.
12. In consideration of the COUNTY'S promises and efforts under this Agreement, the
MUNICIPALITY shall pay the COUNTY
$5,043.85 per month for the months of April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025,
$5,195.70 per month for the months of April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and

Said payments shall be made as follows:
12.1 The COUNTY shall send an invoice to the MUNICIPALITY each month for services
rendered the previous month. The MUNICIPALITY shall have 30 days from the date
of each invoice to make payment.
12.2 All Monthly payments shall be due and payable by the MUNICIPALITY without any
further notice or demand from the COUNTY.
12.3 Each payment shall clearly identify that it is a monthly payment being made pursuant
to this Agreement and identify the calendar month for which the MUNICIPALITY
intended the payment to apply. The COUNTY, in its discretion, may apply any
monthly payment received from the MUNICIPALITY to any past due amount or
monthly payment then due and owing to the COUNTY pursuant to this Agreement.
13. If the MUNICIPALITY, for any reason, fails to pay the COUNTY any monies when and as
due under this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees that unless expressly prohibited by
law, the COUNTY or the County Treasurer, at their sole option, shall be entitled to setoff
from any other MUNICIPALITY funds that are in the COUNTY’S possession for any
reason. Funds include but are not limited to the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (“DTRF”).
Any setoff or retention of funds by the COUNTY shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of
the amount by the MUNICIPALITY to the COUNTY. The MUNICIPALITY waives any
2024-2027 FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF OAKLAND AND THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF BRANDON
Page 5 of 9
CLAIMS against the COUNTY or its Officials for any acts related specifically to the
COUNTY’S offsetting or retaining such amounts. This paragraph shall not limit the
MUNICIPALITY’S legal right to dispute whether the underlying amount retained by the
COUNTY was actually due and owing under this Agreement. If the COUNTY chooses not
to exercise its right to setoff or if any setoff is insufficient to fully pay the COUNTY any
amounts due and owing the COUNTY under this Agreement, the COUNTY shall have the
right to charge up to the then-maximum legal interest on any unpaid amount. Interest charges
shall be in addition to any other amounts due to the County under this Agreement. Interest
charges shall be calculated using the daily unpaid balance method and accumulate until all
outstanding amounts and accumulated interest are fully paid. Nothing in this Section shall
operate to limit the COUNTY’S right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or remedies
under this Agreement against the MUNICIPALITY to secure reimbursement of amounts due
to the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this paragraph shall be available to
the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis if the MUNICIPALITY at any time
becomes delinquent in its payments. Notwithstanding any other terms and conditions in this
Agreement, if the COUNTY pursues any legal action in any court to secure its payment under
this Agreement, the MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including
attorney’s fees and court costs, incurred by the County in the collection of any amount owed
by the MUNICIPALITY.
14. The MUNICIPALITY agrees that all MUNICIPALITY representations, liabilities, payment
obligations and/or any other related 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. The parties agree
that the expiration, cancellation, or termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice
to any rights or claims of either party against the other and shall not relieve either party of any
obligations which, by their nature, survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
15. Each party shall be responsible for any CLAIM made against that party and for the acts of its
employees or agents.
16. In any CLAIM that may arise from the performance of this Agreement, each Party shall seek
its own legal representation and bear the costs associated with such representation, including
any attorney fees.
17. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any right under any
legal principle to be indemnified by the other Party or any of its employees or AGENTS in
connection with any CLAIM.
18. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, impair, divest, delegate or contravene any
constitutional, statutory, and/or other legal right, privilege, power, obligation, duty or
immunity of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of
governmental immunity for either Party.
19. 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, organization, alleged third party beneficiary, or
2024-2027 FIRE DISPATCH SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF OAKLAND AND THE CHARTER TOWNSHIP OF BRANDON
Page 6 of 9
any right to be contractually, legally, equitably or otherwise subrogated to any
indemnification or any other rights provided under the terms of this Agreement.
20. Neither the COUNTY nor any COUNTY AGENT, by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise,
shall be considered employees of the MUNICIPALITY. The COUNTY and/or any COUNTY
AGENTS legal status and relationship to the MUNICIPALITY shall be that of an
Independent Contractor. No MUNICIPAL FIRE PERSONNEL shall, by virtue of this
Agreement or otherwise, be considered an employee, agent, or working under the supervision
and control of the COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENT.
21. The MUNICIPALITY and the O.C.S.O. shall each remain the sole and exclusive employer of
each of their respective employees. The MUNICIPALITY and COUNTY each agree to
remain solely and exclusively responsible for the payment of each of their respective
employees' wages, compensation, overtime wages, expenses, fringe benefits, pension,
retirement benefits, training expenses, or other allowances or reimbursements of any kind,
including, but not limited to, workers' disability compensation, unemployment compensation,
Social Security Act protection and benefits, employment taxes, or any other statutory or
contractual right or benefit based, in any way, upon employment.
22. This Agreement does not, and is not it intended to, create, change, modify, supplement,
supersede, or otherwise affect or control, in any manner, any term or condition of
employment of any COUNTY AGENT, or any applicable O.C.S.O. employment and/or
union contract, any level or amount of supervision, any standard of performance, any
sequence or manner of performance, and/or any O.C.S.O. rule, regulation, training and
education standard, hours of work, shift assignment, order, policies, procedure, directive,
ethical guideline, etc., which shall solely and exclusively, govern and control the employment
relationship between the O.C.S.O. and/or all conduct and actions of any COUNTY AGENT.
23. Neither the MUNICIPALITY nor any MUNICIPAL FIRE PERSONNEL shall provide,
furnish or assign any COUNTY AGENT with any job instructions, job descriptions, job
specifications, or job duties, or, in any manner, attempt to control, supervise, train, or direct
any COUNTY AGENT in the performance of any COUNTY duty or obligation under the
terms of this Agreement.
24. The MUNICIPALITY shall promptly deliver to the O.C.S.O. written notice and copies of any

criminal in nature, that the MUNICIPALITY becomes aware of which involves, in any way,

O.C.S.O. in any investigation conducted by the SHERIFF of any act or performance of any
duties by any COUNTY AGENT.
25. Subject to the following Paragraph, and unless canceled as provided for in this Paragraph, this

this Agreement, the singular or plural number, possessive or non-possessive, shall be deemed
to include the other whenever the context so suggests or requires.
29. Absent an express written waiver, the failure of any party to pursue any right granted under

subsequent breach or default under this Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of 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.
30. The COUNTY and the MUNICIPALITY acknowledge that this Agreement shall be binding
upon them and, to the extent permitted by law, upon their administrators, representatives,
