RE: Resolution to Approve Interlocal Agreement for
Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP)
Dear President Davis:
Attached for the Common Council's consideration is a proposed resolution which approves
an Interlocal Agreement among the following governmental units in St. Joseph County, Indiana:
the Cities of South Bend and Mishawaka, the County of St. Joseph, and the Clay Fire Territory.
This resolution authorizes the South Bend Mayor or Deputy Mayor to execute the Interlocal
Agreement on behalf of the City of South Bend, and the subject matter of the Agreement is the
operation of a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for the dispatch of fire, ambulance and law
enforcement services within St. Joseph County.
The Interlocal Agreement is part of the legal requirement of IND. CODE §36 -8- 16.7 -47
that every operator of a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) within an Indiana County enter
into an interlocal agreement with all other PSAP operators within that county to ensure that the
County does not contain more than the number of PSAPs authorized by Indiana law. Compliance
with this law must take place before December 31, 2014. Because the participants to this Interlocal
Agreement each operate PSAPs, it is necessary that the parties execute the Interlocal Agreement,
a copy of which in substantially final form is attached.
I will present this Resolution to the Common Council, and I thank you for your
consideration.

Section 7.05 Cessation Processes. Upon the cessation of PSAP operations and
termination of employment, any amount owed to terminated employees of the respective Parties
to this Agreement for unused vacation, personal days, or other compensable benefit, shall be paid
by the respective Party, and not the County. The Parties also recognize that not all current
employees satisfy the job description requirements for all positions, and there are currently more
employees qualified for entry level positions, and an insufficient number of employees qualified
for higher level positions. All Parties to this Agreement will endeavor to provide training
necessary, at each individual Party's expense, to increase the qualification level of current
employees.
Article VIII. Operations Plan
Section 8.01 911 Call- Receiving and Dispatching Protocols. Calls will be
processed on two tier level (stage two dispatching): call- takers and dispatchers. When an

by their nature should survive, shall remain in effect after termination, suspension, or expiration
hereof.

thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor.
15.2 Surrender of Premises. At the expiration or termination of the subtenancy
created hereunder, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee shall surrender the Premises to
Lessor in the same condition that Lessee is obligated under this Lease to maintain the Premises,
including the surrender to Lessor of all improvements then located upon the Premises, other than
Lessee's signs, personal property and unattached equipment used in the operation of the business
conducted in the Premises (which items Lessee shall remove from the Premises prior to
surrender), as distinguished from those fixtures, machinery and equipment which are for the
general operation and maintenance of the Premises or the Building (which items Lessee shall
surrender with the Premises unless directed otherwise in writing by Lessor). Lessee shall repair
prior to surrender all damage to the Premises resulting from the removal of its signs, personal
property and unattached equipment. The obligations of Lessee under this Section shall survive

US.54381124.05
be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a Lessee from month to month at the same rent and
subject to all of the other terms, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are
applicable to a month -to -month Lessee. At any time, either party may terminate such
month -to -month tenancy by written notice delivered to the other party at least thirty (30) days in
advance of the termination date. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises, without the
written consent of Lessor, after the expiration or termination of the subtenancy created
hereunder, then (a) Lessee shall pay to Lessor for each day of such possession one hundred fifty
percent (150 %) of all rent for which this Lease provides, computed on a daily basis, and
(b) indemnity and hold Lessor harmless from any loss, cost, claim, liability or damage arising out
of, or connected with such possession.
ARTICLE XVI
MISCELLANEOUS
16.1 Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor warrants that Lessee, upon making
the payments and performing the other covenants and agreements of this Lease on its part to be
performed, shall have peaceful and quiet possession of the Premises during the Term.
16.2 Remedies Cumulative - Non - Waiver. The various rights and remedies
herein contained and reserved to each of the parties shall not be considered as exclusive of any

remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently and whenever and as often as occasion
therefore arises. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power by either party shall impair
any such right or power, or be construed as a waiver of any default or as acquiescence therein.

construed by the other party as a waiver of a subsequent or continuing breach of the same or any
other covenant, term or provision. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the
other party of a nature requiring consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render
unnecessary consent to, or approval of, any subsequent similar act.
16.3 Recording. Neither this Lease, nor any Memorandum thereof, shall be
recorded.
16.4 Applicable Law. The law of the State of Indiana shall govern the
construction, performance and enforcement of this Lease. The headings of the several Articles
and Sections contained herein for convenience only do not define, limit or construe the contents
of such Articles and Sections. All negotiations, considerations, representations and
understandings between the parties are incorporated herein.
16.5 Construction of Terms. Whenever the singular or plural number, or
masculine, feminine or neuter gender, is used herein, it shall equally include the other, and the
terms and provisions of this Lease shall be construed accordingly. Whenever the term
"including" is used herein, it shall be deemed to mean, "including, without limitation," and
neither the use of such term nor the listing of examples shall be deemed to effect any limitation.

16.6 Agreement Binding Upon Successors. The covenants, agreements and
obligations herein contained shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit not only of the parties
hereto, and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.

time hereafter, within ten (10) days after the written request of the other party, either Lessor or
Lessee as the case may be, shall certify by a written instrument duly executed and acknowledged
to any mortgagee or purchaser, or proposed mortgagee or proposed purchaser, or any other

the existence of any default on the part of any party thereunder, as to the existence of any offsets,
counterclaims or defenses thereto on the part of Lessee, and as to any other matters that may be
reasonably requested by Lessor.
16.8 Limitation of Liability. Anything to the contrary herein contained
notwithstanding, there shall be absolutely no personal liability on persons, firms or entities who
constitute Lessor with respect to any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this
Lease, and Lessee shall look solely to the interest of Lessor, its successors and assigns, in the
Building of which the Premises are a part for the satisfaction of each and every remedy of Lessee
in the event of default by Lessor hereunder; such exculpation of personal liability is absolute and
without any exception whatsoever.
16.9 Time is of the Essence. Time is and shall be of the essence of this Lease
and of each term or provision hereof.

16.11 Severability. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances
other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and
each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
16.12 Headings. The headings of the articles of this instrument are for
convenience and reference only and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to
explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of
this Lease.
16.13 Termination for Non - appropriation. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease, if funds for the continued fulfillment of this Lease by Lessee are at any time
insufficient or not forthcoming through failure of any entity to appropriate funds or otherwise,
then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease without penalty by giving written notice
documenting the lack of funding, in which instance unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, this

funds, including, but not limited to, requesting in its budget for each fiscal period during the term
hereof sufficient funds to meet its obligations hereunder in full.
16.14 Non - Discrimination. Lessor shall not discriminate against any employee
or applicant for employment to be employed by Lessor in the performance of this Lease, with
