In this AGREEMENT, the COUNTY and/or the City may also be referred to as a "PARTY" or the "PARTIES.” 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").

and has the capability to provide emergency medical dispatch for the CITY but, absent this Agreement, is not obligated to provide EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE for the CITY; and
WHEREAS, the COUNTY and the CITY may enter into an agreement by which the O.C.S.O. would provide EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE for the CITY; and

and/or standards; purchase or use any special or additional equipment; or, alternatively,

EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER communication equipment to ensure that it
conforms to 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 CITY in writing of the specific violations.
The CITY 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 setting forth a procedure for correcting the violations. If the CITY fails
to address 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.
10. In consideration of the COUNTY'S promises and efforts under this Agreement, the CITY
shall pay the COUNTY
$41,188.05 per month for services for the months of April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025.
$42,428.10 per month for services for the months of April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

Said payments shall be made as follows:
10.1 The COUNTY shall send an invoice to the CITY each month for services rendered
the previous month. The CITY shall have 30 days from the date of each invoice to
make payment.
10.2 All Monthly payments shall be due and payable by the CITY without any further
notice or demand from the COUNTY.
10.3 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 CITY
intended the payment to apply. The COUNTY, in its discretion, may apply any
monthly payment received from the CITY to any past due amount or monthly
payment then due and owing to the COUNTY pursuant to this Agreement.
11. If the CITY, for any reason, fails to pay the COUNTY any monies when and as due under
this Agreement the CITY agrees that the COUNTY or the County Treasurer, at their sole
option, shall be entitled to set off from any other CITY funds that are in the COUNTY’S
possession for any reason without further notice to the CITY in order to satisfy the CITY’s
obligations under this Agreement. Funds include but are not limited to the Delinquent Tax
Revolving Fund (“DTRF”) and any other source of funds due to the CITY in the possession
of the COUNTY. Any setoff or retention of funds by the COUNTY shall be deemed a
2024- 2027 EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF OAKLAND AND THE CITY OF PONTIAC
Page 5 of 9
voluntary assignment of the amount by the CITY to the COUNTY. The CITY waives any
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
CITY’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 paragraph
shall operate to limit the COUNTY’S right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or
remedies under this Agreement against the CITY 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 CITY 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 CITY 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 CITY.
12. If the CITY fails for any reason to (1) timely pay the COUNTY any amount due under this
Agreement, (2) perform any other obligation required under this Agreement or (3) seeks
authority from the governor and state treasurer to proceed under title 11 of the United States
Code, 11 USC 101 to 1532 as provided for in section 23 of Public Act 4 of 2011; the CITY
shall be in default of this Agreement. The COUNTY will send written notice of any default
via first class mail to the CITY. If the default is not cured within thirty (30) days from the
date of the notice, the COUNTY may:
12.1 Terminate this Agreement sixty (60) days from the date written notice of
termination is provided to the CITY by the COUNTY;
12.2 Declare all unpaid amounts owed under the Agreement immediately due
and payable without further presentment, demand, protest or other notice of
any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the CITY.
12.3 Exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under the Agreement
or applicable law.
13. Each Party shall be responsible for any CLAIMS made against that Party and for the acts
of its employees or AGENTS. Further, the CITY agrees that it shall remain solely and
completely liable for any and all CLAIMS that either arose or have their basis in
circumstances or events occurring before the effective date of this Agreement, including
but not limited to, any wage or benefit issues, any collective bargaining obligations, or any
other related employment rights or obligations such as worker or unemployment
compensation based upon any person’s employment by the CITY prior to the effective date
of this Agreement.

immunity of the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of

17. 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 any right to be contractually, legally, equitably or otherwise subrogated to any
indemnification or any other rights provided under the terms of this Agreement.
18. Neither the COUNTY nor any COUNTY AGENT, by virtue of this Agreement or
otherwise, shall be considered employees of the CITY or the CITY’s DESIGNATED
EMERGENCY SERVICE PROVIDER. The COUNTY and/or any COUNTY AGENTS
legal status and relationship to the CITY shall be that of an Independent Contractor. No

22. The CITY shall promptly deliver to the O.C.S.O. written notice and copies of any CLAIM,
accusation or allegation of negligence or other wrongdoing, whether civil or criminal in
nature, that the CITY becomes aware of which involves, in any way, the O.C.S.O. or any

As used in 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.
27. Absent an express written waiver, the failure of any Party to pursue any right granted under
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of that right regarding any existing or
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.
28. The COUNTY and the CITY acknowledge that this Agreement shall be binding upon them
and, to the extent permitted by law, upon their administrators, representatives, executors,
