Draft interlocal agreement would make territory defend and indemnify participating units, drafter says
Summary
A drafter previewed amendments to a joint interlocal agreement that clarify administrative roles and add language stating the territory would defend and indemnify a participating unit if that unit is named in a claim arising from fire-department activities.
A staff member who said they prepared an amended approval agreement previewed changes to the interlocal draft and said the new language updates tense, clarifies administration and adds indemnity language. "If either unit gets named in an action resulting from some claim against the fire department, the territory is going to defend and indemnify that unit," the staff member said while reviewing the draft.
The exchange that followed probed whether insurers will list both units individually and how a single-territory policy would operate in practice. Council and staff agreed to circulate the marked draft to participating units and return with confirmations from the insurance agent that the proposed policy language and riders can be implemented as written before final adoption.
