MUTUAL AID BOX ALARM SYSTEM
FIRST ADDENDUM TO MABAS MASTER AGREEMENT
This First Addendum to the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System ("MABAS") Master
Agreement in the State of Illinois, last amended prior to 2000, is meant to incorporate in
its entirety the terms included within the Master Agreement except as specifically
changed herein. In the event there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of the
Master Agreement and this Addendum, this Addendum shall be controlling.
As the cost of lending mutual aid support has increased in recent times,
communities have determined it necessary to agree in advance on cost reimbursement
issues prior to the occurrence of an actual emergency. Mutual aid agreements such as
the MABAS Master Agreement have served as the foundation for navigating cost issues
and engaging in these agreements prior to the emergency avoid post-emergency
concerns on cost reimbursement.
SECTION FIVE—Compensation for Aid is amended to read as follows:
Equipment, personnel, and/or services provided to this Agreement
shall be at no charge to the party requesting aid for the first eight (8)
consecutive hours of aid provided to the Stricken Unit; however, any
expenses recoverable from third parties shall be equitably distributed
among responding parties. Day to day mutual aid should remain free of
charge and the administrative requirements of reimbursement make it
unfeasible to charge for day-to-day mutual aid. Nothing herein shall
operate to bar any recovery of funds from any state or federal agency
under any existing statute.
Any Aiding Unit is empowered to and may charge a Stricken Unit
for reimbursement for costs of equipment, personnel. and/or services
provided under this Agreement for terms of more than eight (8)
consecutive hours under the following terms and conditions:
1. The amount of charges assessed by an Aiding Unit to a Stricken
Unit may not exceed the amount necessary to make the Aiding
Unit whole and should only include costs that are non-routine in
nature.
2. The Aiding Unit must assess no more the "usual and customary"
charges for personnel costs pursuant to a collective bargaining
aqreement. benefit ordinance or compensation policy.
1
3. The fee structure for apparatus and equipment shall be based on
FEMA or OSFM rate schedules. If a particular piece of apparatus
or equipment is not listed within the FEMA / OSFM rate
schedules, a market rate for reimbursement shall be established.
4. In no event shall the amount assessed by an Aiding Unit to a
Stricken Unit exceed the amount of fees permitted to be assessed
under Illinois law.
5. Aiding Units must invoice the Stricken Unit within thirty (30) days
after the completion of the emergency; Once thirty (30)days pass,
the aid shall be considered to be a donation of service.
6. Mutual Aid and assessing costs for mutual aid cannot in any way
be conditioned upon any declaration of a federal disaster.
Member Units are encouraged to consider the adoption of internal
policies establishing procedures for cost reimbursement on MABAS mobilizations
pursuant to established MABAS procedures for collection and submission of
funds.
The Signatory below certifies that this First Addendum to the MABAS Master
Agreement has been adopted and approved by ordinance, resolution, or other manner
approved by law, a copy of which document is attached hereto.
