[Ord. No. 93-579]
This section is created pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-1 and N.J.S.A.
40A:14-156.1 and is adopted as a reciprocal agreement with all municipalities
participating in the regional mutual aid compact. Pursuant to this
Agreement, the Municipality of Lake Como shall render assistance to
any participating municipality by providing equipment, manpower, goods
and services, upon request of the local Emergency Management Coordinator,
to help preserve each municipality's responsibility to protect and
maintain the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
In the event that an employee of the Borough is injured while
rendering assistance to a participating municipality, the Borough
shall be primarily responsible for any costs incurred as a result
of the injury. However, nothing in this section shall serve as a bar
to the Borough from seeking indemnification from the municipality
receiving assistance.
Equipment, manpower, goods and services, as described herein,
will be made available to municipalities seeking assistance at no
cost to that municipality when such equipment is available for assistance.
However, when there is an emergency which will be eligible for reimbursement
under a disaster declaration, the municipality providing equipment,
manpower, goods and services shall be reimbursed at a scale set by
the most current Federal Emergency Management Agency Rules and Regulations.
It is each municipality's responsibility to keep equipment properly
maintained and available under this Agreement. In the event that equipment
is damaged while rendering assistance, the municipality providing
the assistance will be responsible for regular maintenance and repairs.
However, it will be the responsibility of the municipality receiving
assistance to replace goods and equipment lost or damaged beyond repair
during the provision of assistance under this Agreement. If equipment
is damaged through negligence or misuse, the party damaging the equipment
will be responsible for repairs. However, nothing in this section
shall serve as a bar to the municipality providing assistance from
seeking indemnification from the municipality receiving assistance.
Third party damage incurred while providing assistance will be covered
by the municipality providing the assistance.
Any municipality that is not participating in the Monmouth Joint
Insurance Fund shall provide a Certification of Insurance covering
borrowed equipment and manpower prior to receiving assistance.
This Agreement does not preclude any participating municipality
from entering into an agreement for equipment, manpower, goods or
services with any other municipality in addition to this Agreement.
This section is separate and distinct from any mutual aid agreements
previously entered between the Borough of Lake Como and any other
municipalities and shall remain in full force and effect until specifically
repealed by an affirmative act of the Governing Body after having
given all other participating municipalities ninety (90) days' written
notice of its intention to do so.
