IV. PAYMENT 1 The MUNICIPALITY agrees to pay the COUNTY the actual cost of providing all services covered by this Agreement. Actual cost shall mean the MUNICIPALITY'S pro rata share of the COUNTY'S total cost of providing patrol and police protection services to the MUNICIPALITIES with which the COUNTY has agreements for the current contract year, including, but not limited to the following: salaries of employees engaged in performing said services, including vacation and sick leave; mileage, uniforms; public employees retirement contributions; workers' compensation, automobile, general liability and police professional liability insurance costs or the cost of self- insurance; general overhead, including indirect expenses and supplies, radio unit expense, and health and welfare expense. Costs as used herein shall not include items of expense attributable to services or facilities normally provided or available to all cities within the COUNTY as part of the COUNTY'S obligation to enforce state law. Computation of actual costs hereunder shall be made by the Ramsey County Budgeting & Accounting Division based on information provided by the Sheriff. 2. The COUNTY shall bill the MUNICIPALITY on a monthly basis in an amount equal to one - twelfth (1/12) of the current year Budget Estimate for services to the MUNICIPALITY as set forth in Exhibit A. The MUNICIPALITY shall pay the COUNTY within 45 days of receipt of the monthly statement. At the close of the contract year, the COUNTY will reconcile the current year Budget Estimate and current year actual costs and shall either give a credit to the MUNICIPALITY or bill the MUNICIPALITY for additional costs in excess of the Budget Estimate. 3. An estimate of the costs for the upcoming year shall be furnished using the District Plan format by the COUNTY to the MUNICIPALITY no later than September 1, of the current year. Said estimate shall be for the limited purpose of better enabling the MUNICIPALITY to estimate its budget. It is understood by the parties to this Agreement that said estimate shall in no way prevent the COUNTY from charging its actual costs. The MUNICIPALITY must annually indicate its acceptance of upcoming year Budget Estimate in writing prior to December 31 of the current year. 4. If the MUNICIPALITY does not indicate its acceptance of the budget estimate, the MUNICIPALITY and the COUNTY must meet by January 31 of the budget year in question to review and reach agreement on modifications to service levels provided by the COUNTY that are consistent with the MUNICIPALITY'S budget and that recognize the impact of these service level changes to other jurisdictions that contract with the County for these services.
