Department and the Point Reyes National Seashore law enforcement rangers
incorporating their actfvities on the Sheriff's Office primary dispatch radio channels.
Except for the impact on the CAD system and their respective share of the CAD Service
Maintenance Agreement, the cost for service for these entities is not tied directly to
prorating their share of the cost of any full time employee positions. Their costs will be
adjusted by cost of living increases in future years.
8. CAD Enhancements.
a) COUNTY will coordinate improvements and enhancements to the CAD
periodically.
b) If AGENCY or others benefit from the improvement or enhancement, they will
share in the cost of these changes with other agencies that benefit by the
change. For example, an enhancement that only benefits one agency will be
paid for by that agency, but if the enhancement benefits all agencies, all will pay
their share, based on the formula In Appendix A, Section 2, Column A.
c) Depending on how agencies are benefited by an enhancement or change in the
CAD, COUNTY may develop a special formula to pay for that particular change,
such as fire departments only, or grouping of police departments.
d) In no circumstance will COUNTY allow improvements or enhancements to the
CAD that will be paid for by AGENCY or others without the express written
consent of AGENCY'S authorized representative.
C. Administrative Fee. COUNTY assesses an annual five percent (5%) administration fee based on
the total charge to AGENCY for dispatching service and/or CAD service. This fee is included in
the "Cost" column in Appendix A, Section 2, Columns A, Band C.
D. Start-Up Service Fee. In addition to the dispatching service and/or CAD service costs, COUNTY
will charge a one-time start-up fee that equals twenty five (25) percentof the first year costs for
agreements for new service established after 7/1/2006. Any agency contracting for dispatching
service after that date will pay the one-time start-up fee, the full costs of new full time employees,
if any, their projected share of the CAD Service Mainteance Agreement, as well as the five (5)
percent management fee.
E. Revisinq the Cost Sharinq Formula. By March 1,2009, COUNTY will prepare a new cost sharing
formula that will be the basis of cost for AGENCY and others for the next three fiscal years.

held within AGENCY'S jurisdiction, such as a fair or other community activity. Whenever
possible, AGENCY should provide COUNTY with at least two weeks notice so that an overtime
employee may be scheduled. In no case will extra personnel be assigned for a scheduled event

scope of this agreement, such as major changes to their response system, merging of
departments affecting the response procedures, etc. COUNTY will issue an estimation of the
cost for changes, in writing, to the designated agency representative. AGENCY must authorize
the work to be performed on their behalf, and agree to reimuburse COUNTY for all costs
associated with those changes in writing, before COUNTY will commence the effort.
