Subd. 3. Upon joining the Regional Mutual Aid Association, the party shall submit a list of their equipment to the Association Secretary. This equipment list shall be updated annually and submitted to the Association Secretary by December 31st of each year. Subd. 4. The Association Secretary shall distribute the equipment lists to all members. An equipment addendum sheet shall be distributed to all member parties by January 30th of each year. IV. PROCEDURE Subd. 1. Each party shall designate, and keep on file with the Secretary of the Regional Mutual Aid Association the name of the person of that party who shall be its requesting official and responding official. A party may designate alternate officials to act in the absence of the primary official. Subd. 2. Whenever, in the opinion of a requesting official of a party, there is a need for assistance from other parties to assist the requesting party, such re- questing official may, in his discretion, call upon the responding official of any other party to furnish assistance to and within the boundaries of the requesting party. It is the intention of the parties to this contract to cooperate in the event of an emergency by making available to a requesting party necessary or requested personnel, materials, and equipment (without undue delay.) Subd. 3. Upon the receipt of a request for assistance from a party, the respond- ing official for any other party may authorize and direct the personnel of the res- ponding party to provide assistance to the requesting party. Whether the responding party shall provide such assistance to the requesting party and, if so, to what ex- tent such assistance shall be provided shall be determined solely by the responding official (subject to such supervision and direction as may be applicable to him within the governmental structure of the party by which he is employed.) Failure to provide assistance will not result in liability to a party. Subd. 4. When a responding party provides assistance under the terms of this Agreement, it may in turn request assistance from other parties as "backup" during the time that it is providing assistance outside its boundaries. Subd. 5. Whenever a responding party has provided assistance to a requesting party, the responding official may at any time recall such assistance or any part thereof to the responding party, if the responding official in his best judgment deems this is in the best interest of his own agency. Subd. 6. When a responding party supplies equipment and personnel to a request- ing party, said equipment and personnel shall remain under the direction and control of the responding party; shall be paid by the responding party; shall be protected by the Worker's Compensation of the responding party; and shall otherwise be deemed to be performing their regular duties for the responding party. However, the res- ponding party shall undertake to coordinate with the requesting party the assistance which it provides. The requesting party shall provide all routine fueling and servic- ing of respondents equipment, materials, and assume all costs thereof during the assistance period. -2- 18
