AGREEMENT
This agreement made and entered into by and between the Board of Township Trustees of
Washington Township, Franklin County, Ohio, Delaware County, Ohio, and Union County, Ohio,
a Board of Township Trustees as defined in Chapter 505 of the Ohio Revised Code, sometimes
hereinafter referred to as "Washington", and the City of Dublin, Ohio, a municipal corporation,
sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Dublin"
1. In consideration of a one time payment of $28,000 toward the cost of a new CAD
system for dispatching along with an initial annual payment by Washington to Dublin of $125,000,
a payment of $130,000 for the second annual period and a payment of $135,000 for the third
annual period, Dublin agrees to provide communication services twenty-four (24) hours per day
and seven (7) days per week to the Fire Department of the Township of Washington, Ohio.
2. It is mutually agreed by the parties as follows:
(a) Dublin shall, at its cost, continue to maintain a fire phone in the Dublin
Police Division during the period of this contract.
(b) Dublin shall answer such phone and shall communicate the message or
request to the Washington Township Fire Department in accordance with
generally acceptable procedures for dispatching and in accordance with such
procedures as shall from time to time be prescribed by the Washington
Township Fire Chief.
(c) Dublin shall answer the Washington Township Fire radio and shall comm-
unicate messages and requests in accordance with generally acceptable
dispatching procedures and in accordance with such procedures as shall
from time to time be prescribed by the Washington Township Fire Chief.
(d) Dublin shall monitor the fire alarms and shall communicate the alarms to
the Washington Township Fire Department in accordance with generally
acceptable procedures for dispatching and in accordance with such
procedures as shall from time to time be prescribed by the Washington
Township Fire Chief.
(e) Dublin shall keep a log of all communications referred to in Paragraphs (b),
(c), and (d) above. Such log and all other papers and information relating
to the operation of the Washington Township Fire Department shall be
maintained by Dublin and transferred to the Washington Township Fire
Department in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Washington
Township Fire Department. The Dublin dispatchers shall not release or
divulge any information relating to Washington Township Fire operations
to persons other than officials of Washington Township Fire Department
except as necessitated by generally acceptable dispatching procedures.
1
(f) Dispatching shall be performed only by qualified individuals hired by
Dublin for that purpose. A review panel consisting of Washington's Fire
Chief and Dublin's Police Chief shall establish and periodically review the
selection process, criteria, experience, and performance requirements for
qualified dispatchers.
(g) Dublin shall perform all of its obligations under this contract in accordance
with procedures set forth by the Washington Township Fire Chief and shall
in no way interfere with the operation of the Washington Township Fire
Department.
(h) Dublin shall endeavor to schedule a minimum of two (2) dispatchers at all
times. Both parties recognize that Dublin is under no obligation to assign
either dispatcher to exclusively perform fire dispatch duties and that there
is no penalty upon Dublin to meet this staffing minimum during personnel
shortages. Dublin will continue its policy of handling radio calls in priority
order without regard to whether the call is related to police, fire or
emergency medical activity.
(i) The parties recognize and agree that by previous agreement, title to the 9-1-
l emergency dispatch equipment has transferred from Washington to
Dublin.
(j) All existing fire alarms shall continue to terminate at Dublin's Police
Division during the period of this contract. Washington's Fire Chief and
Dublin's Police Chief shall be responsible for maintaining guidelines for
any new businesses to be added to the alarm panel, and shall jointly review
all such applicants to determine if the guidelines for installation are met.
(k) Washington shall assume all responsibility for their mobile radio equip-
ment and shall pay any expenses required to render it compatible to the
Dublin dispatch center. Both parties recognize that the proposed high band
mutual aid frequency by the City of Columbus is excluded from the scope
of this agreement and shall be resolved as a separate issue.
(1) All maintenance expenses for the central dispatch computer and radio
equipment shall be the responsibility of Dublin.
(m) All maintenance expenses for Washington's computer and fire dispatch
equipment shall be the responsibility of Washington.
(n) Dispatchers will be periodically available, as mutually agreeable, for
training purposes.
This agreement shall become effective retroactive to June 1, 1998, and shall remain in
force for a period of three (3) years. The annual payment and the $28,000 CAD payment outlined
2
in Paragraph 1. Are due on August 1, 1998. The remaining annual payments are due on June 1,
1999 and June 1, 2000. It is the intention of both parties to negotiate a replacement agreement
during the final year of this agreement period to cover an additional three-year period. However,
both parties recognize that if the conditions covered by this agreement undergo any substantial
change, then either party may request the commencement of negotiations which could lead to the
execution of a new agreement prior to May 31, 2001. It is also mutually agreed by the parties that
either party may cancel its obligations under this agreement by providing a minimum of 180 days
notice prior to the proposed termination date.
