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 entirely 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 Unite 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

charges for personnel costs pursuant to a collective bargaining
agreement benefit ordinance or compensation policy.
