Agreement includes mutual indemnification and a strict no-compensation clause

Intergovernmental Automatic Aid Agreement (Draft) · August 17, 2026

Summary

The draft agreement assigns maintenance costs to each department, requires liability and workers' compensation insurance, contains a hold-harmless clause, and states explicitly that neither party may demand compensation for assistance provided.

The communications and liability section assigns upkeep and repair costs to the individual departments and requires each party to provide liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage for personnel. The text includes a mutual indemnification provision described as a "Hold Harmless Clause" and states that each party "shall pay its own expenses and assume the risk of damage to its own equipment."

The agreement is explicit about fees: "Neither party hereto shall demand or receive compensation from the other for assistance provided hereunder." That phrase is central to the financial relationship between participating departments and preserves cost-bearing with the sending agencies rather than establishing billable intergovernmental reimbursement under this instrument.
