Exhibit A - Memorandum of Agreement - NWC911
Upon the date when all participants have approved and signed the revised
Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System Intergovernmental Agreement, Inverness
will be considered a non - voting member of the system, and will be
permitted to participate in all activities and deliberations of the system.
Inverness will be granted voting rights when 9 -1 -1 operations for
Inverness are officially transferred to the NWC911 System and monthly
surcharge collections (wireless, VoIP etc.) and system operational
contributions are remitted directly to the Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System.
At that time, Inverness will have one seat and one vote on the NWC911
System Board (ETSB) (which is composed of the Village Managers or
Administrators /City Administrators of the member municipalities).
The Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System will perform all necessary work
associated with the preparation and filing of an amended 9 -1 -1 system
plan with the Illinois Commerce Commission.
2. All 9 -1 -1 surcharge remittances and system operational contributions will
be made payable to the Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System and be sent by
the ICC in the case of wireless surcharge collections, and by Voice over IP
providers in the case of VolP collections and by Inverness in the case of
local exchange access lines to the Northwest Central office.
3. Northwest Central will deposit the net amount remitted by Inverness based
on the current system wide operating surcharge of $.29 per line per
month. This amount will be allocated to the common 9 -1 -1 system funding
pool and will be used for 9 -1 -1 system budgetary purposes.
If at a later date, the members of the system determine that there is a
need to increase the monthly operating surcharge for general system
operating expenses or capital improvements Inverness will maintain parity
in the portion of its contribution, which is allocated to 9 -1 -1 system
operations. In June 2009, each member municipality is projected to
contribute .43 of their monthly surcharge collection or the difference if
there is not sufficient collection to a radio system infrastructure
replacement fund. Inverness would be responsible for contributing .72 to
the NWC911 System (.29 to operations and .43 to the radio system
infrastructure replacement fund) at that time.
4. The Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System will pay all expenses related to the
provisioning of Enhanced 9 -1 -1 service for Inverness effective with the
transfer of 9 -1 -1 functions to Northwest Central. This includes AT &T and
other local exchange carrier service fees, database preparation and
maintenance, 9 -1 -1 premise equipment hardware and software, and
adequate backup capability.
5. Inverness will pay certain one -time fixed costs for new equipment and /or
software or for the modification of certain system components necessary
for the integration of Inverness into the Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System.
Inverness agrees to pay such expenses to the Northwest Central 9 -1 -1
System within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from the Northwest
Central 9 -1 -1 System.
The total combined one -time transitional expense for Inverness for system
modifications is included in the aggregate found in item number 4 of the
NWCDS Memorandum of Agreement.
6. Inverness agrees to be obligated for its proportionate share of the debts
and liabilities outside of normal operating expenses, which may be
incurred after its effective date of transfer of 9 -1 -1 operations to the
Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System. The proportionate share will be based on
Inverness's share of the total number of access lines in the 9 -1 -1 system.
Any balance remaining in its 9 -1 -1 system account on the date of transfer
of operations must be transferred to the joint Northwest Central 9 -1 -1
System where such funds will be separately identified and administered by
the Northwest Central 9 -1 -1 System. Those funds may be expended for
any lawful 9 -1 -1 related expenses as Inverness directs.
