check with the Ramsey Finance Director for details on how the insurance is calculated. He <br />noted that the intent of this document was to be effective from January 1, 2020 through <br />December 31, 2020. <br />Mr. Piton stated that he would prefer the language to remain in place until December 31, 2021 <br />or with a 30-day notice for termination that occurs before that date. <br />Ms. Heinrich stated that it was her understanding that it was the advice of Ramsey legal counsel <br />to include the December 31, 2020 termination date for this agreement as additional negotiation <br />would be needed for 2021. <br />Mr. Piton stated that he would prefer the agreement to run through December 31, 2021, or with <br />a 30-day notice if Nowthen is able to gain independent operation before that date. <br />Mr. Breyen stated that if the end date is kept at December 31, 2020, the previous discussion <br />related to hard costs and modification of that language would not have been necessary. <br />Ms. Heinrich commented that she was not certain that extending the date past 2020 would <br />benefit the Ramsey taxpayers. <br />Mr. Breyen commented that if the hard costs are being charged to Nowthen, and that would <br />remain unchanged from year to year. <br />Fire Chief Kohner stated that the cost included in 7E covers all personnel, administrative, hard <br />costs, training, and non -emergency requested services. <br />Mr. Ulrich stated that perhaps Nowthen could outline its anticipated schedule/timeline for <br />independent operations as that could be helpful to this discussion. <br />Ms. Heinrich asked for clarification on 7E. <br />Mr. Ulrich explained that the intent was that if the annual contract terminated at the end of 2020, <br />services would continue at the rate of $163,000, prorated monthly, with the belief that there was <br />a desire from Nowthen to make 2020 the last full contract year although there may be some <br />spillover into 2021. He noted that the cost of $163,000 was based on the reimbursement model <br />from Ramsey to ensure costs for services are recovered accurately. <br />Mr. Breyen commented that this model seems confusing and part of it do not seem logical. He <br />explained that prior to 2020, Ramsey was paying the wireless fee for the tablets but for 2020 <br />Nowthen agreed to pay that cost. He explained that as written, if this remains in place in 2021, <br />Ramsey would then again cover that cost of wireless service for the tablets for the time the <br />Ramsey Fire Board / May 27, 2020 <br />Page 5 of 8 <br />
