designated as Fire Marshal for performing services pursuant to this Agreement. All such matters are solely the responsibility of JPL as an independent contractor. 3. City shall provide JPL a current copy of the City’s zoning and subdivision regulations, zoning and subdivision maps, comprehensive plan, and other regulations on development within City. While working in the community, City shall make available office space and a computer for use. 4.

To comply with provisions of the Minnesota State Fire Code, City shall insure the activities of JPL related to the performance of services under this Agreement, as part of its general liability coverage. The provisions of the Fire Code related to this paragraph are as follows: Minnesota State Fire Code 103.4 - Liability. The fire code official, officer or employee charged with the enforcement of this code, while acting for the jurisdiction, shall not thereby be rendered liable personally, and is hereby relieved from all personal liability for any damage accruing to persons or property as a result of an act required or permitted in the discharge of official duties. Minnesota State Fire Code 103.4.1 - Legal defense. Any suit instituted against any officer or employee because of an act performed by that officer or employee in the lawful discharge of duties and under the provisions of this code shall be defended by the legal representative of the jurisdiction until the final termination of the proceedings. The fire code official or any subordinate shall not be liable for costs in an action, suit or proceeding that is instituted in pursuance of the provisions of this code; and any officer of the department of fire prevention, acting in good faith and without malice, shall be free from liability for acts performed under any of its provisions or by reason of any act or omission in the performance of official duties in connection therewith. 6. It is understood that enforcement and administration of the Minnesota State Fire Code is a public service and is of necessity limited in nature. Consequently, fire inspections are not to be construed or relied upon as any type of warranty, guarantee, or representation on the part of the Fire Marshal or JPL that the plans, construction, or finished project are necessarily in conformance with the provisions of the Minnesota State Fire Code or other standards.
