Insurance and Indemnification 7.1 The RCVCET shall purchase a policy of municipal liability insurance and may purchase such other insurance as it deems appropriate and necessary, covering the acts and omissions of the RCVCET, its Board of Directors and its employees, and the Parties to this Agreement and their employees, officials, and agents, in an amount not less than the statutory maximum set forth in Minn. Stat. § 466.04. The cost of the municipal liability insurance policy shall be paid from the RCVCET Funds. The cost of any other insurance shall be paid in a manner to be determined by the RCVCET Board. 7.2 The RCVCET shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Parties, their officers, employees, and volunteers, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, suits, judgments, costs, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, arising out of or related to the acts or omissions of any person acting on behalf of the RCVCET Board in carrying out the terms of this Agreement. 7.3 For liability not covered by insurance, the Parties and the RCVCET agree to share the costs of such liability, including the costs of defense, using the formula described in 4.4 for allocation of payment for outstanding obligations and distribution of assets on termination of this Agreement. 7.4 Nothing herein, including the purchase by the RCVCET of excess liability coverage for federal law claims, shall constitute a waiver of the limits of liability, exceptions, defenses, or immunities under Minnesota State statutes. 7.5 To the fullest extent permitted by law, actions by the Parties to this Agreement are intended to be and shall be construed as a “cooperative activity” and it is the intent of the Parties that they shall be deemed a “single governmental unit” for the purposes of liability, as set forth in Minn. Stat. § 471.59, subd. 1a (a), provided further that for purposes of that statute, each Party to this Agreement expressly declines responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of another Party, its officials, employees, and volunteers. 8. RCVCET Operations 8.1 The RCVCET shall operate in compliance with the Multijurisdictional Task Force Operating Procedures and Guidelines Manual adopted by the Violent Crime Coordinating Council, as may be amended from time to time, which is incorporated herein and made part of this Agreement by reference. 8.2 Ramsey County shall serve as the Coordinating Agency. Daily operation and responsibility for carrying out the purpose of the RCVCET shall be under the direction of the RCVCET Commander, selected by the RCVCET Board. 8.3 The RCVCET Commander will plan and coordinate case activities and direct investigative activities based on intelligence provided by the Agencies, with priorities as determined by the RCVCET Board. 22
