16 CR225-476-758705.v8 deemed a “single governmental unit” for the purposes of liability, all as set forth in Minnesota Statutes, section 471.59, subdivision 1a. For purposes of the statute, each Member to this Agreement expressly declines responsibility for the acts or omissions of the other Members. SECTION X DISPUTE RESOLUTION 10.1 Dispute Resolution Process. The Members agree to engage in good faith to attempt to resolve any disputes that may arise over the establishment, operation, or maintenance of the Fencing Consortium. If a dispute is not resolved informally, the Members agree to use the following process to attempt to resolve any dispute they may have related to the Fencing Consortium. (a) Written Notice of Dispute. Any Member with a dispute regarding the Fencing Consortium or the Board may submit a written explanation of its dispute to the Fencing Consortium and to each Member. The Board shall make the email list of Members available for the purpose of providing this notice. The explanation of the dispute must be detailed, not repetitive of a dispute already addressed by the Board regarding the same Member, relate directly to a matter within the scope of the Fencing Consortium or of the Board’s powers, and must suggest a solution. (b) Review and Response by Board. Upon the Fencing Consortium’s receipt of a written dispute it shall be placed on the agenda of the Board’s next scheduled regular meeting for consideration. The Board shall respond in writing to all properly submitted disputes within three months and shall provide each Member a copy of its response. (c) Mediation. If the Member with the dispute is not satisfied with the Board’s response, it may file a written request with the Board for mediation. If the Member and the Board are not able to mutually agree on a mediator, the Member and the Board shall each select a mediator and the two mediators shall select a third. Each party to the mediation shall be responsible for the cost of the mediator it selected and shall share equally in the costs of the mediation and of the third mediator. (d) Binding Arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved in mediation, the aggrieved Member and the Board may agree to submit to a binding arbitration process. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, chapter 572B following the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, unless the Board and the Member agree to follow different rules. The Members and the Board agree the decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on the Fencing Consortium and its Members. 91
