Fire Department
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL CASSADY
FROM: INTERIM FIRE CHIEF BRIAN LAMBEL
DATE: 12.3.2015
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF THE AUTOMATIC AID AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY
OF DES PLAINES
In 1988, the Village of Mount Prospect and the City of Des Plaines entered into an
automatic aid agreement to provide reciprocal response to structural fire alarms and
emergency responses. This agreement is in accordance with the state statutes that
allow Municipalities and Fire Protection Districts to enter into Mutual Aid Agreements. A
Mutual Aid request occurs when a fire department requests assistance from a
neighboring community to provide assistance and manpower for emergencies in the
effected community. An Automatic Aid agreement provides the specific responsibilities
and the legal protection for both parties and allows for the requests for assistance to be
automatic in regards to dispatching resources. In other words, the resources are
dispatched on the initial alarm without having to request assistance. The previous
agreement provided specific geographic areas in which both fire departments would
respond. The 2015 draft agreement renews the previous agreement with a few
changes. The modifications are as follows:
1. The general condition of providing manning on responding apparatus was
previously three (3) per vehicle. The new agreement specifies a minimum staffing
of three (3) personnel on an engine or truck and a minimum staffing of two (2)
personnel on an ambulance or squad.
2. The general condition under number 3 of the new agreement adds that each
department will follow the principles of the National Incident Management System
(NIMS). NIMS is a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and
agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the
private sector to work together seamlessly and manage incidents. The Village of
Mount Prospect officially adopted NIMS in 2004.

3. Under section B regarding responses, the old agreement specified geographical
boundaries of response. A summary of the boundaries in Mount Prospect are as
follows..
From Golf Road to the southern village limits between Elmhurst Road and the
western village limits. From Gregory Street north to Camp McDonald Road
between the Canadian National Railroad tracks and east to River Road in the
northern portion of town. The new agreement eliminates these boundaries and
replaces them with an agreement that each department will provide automatic aid
as referenced in each department's response cards. These response cards
already exist and are based on the previous automatic aid agreement. The
response cards may be modified in the future. The new agreement addresses
the fact that modifications to the response cards are possible with the provision
that each department will be provided any changes in advance. Notification to the
respective fire department from the fire department requesting changes must be
in writing and agreed upon by both parties.
As Interim Fire Chief, I support this written automatic agreement because the document
will provide the flexibility to collaboratively make modifications without creating new
legal documents or agreements. Automatic aid agreements are common and provide
shared resources to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of each department to
provide the best service to our communities. In addition, the agreement provides
additional resources without impacting the budget. Both parties have proven their ability
to work together for many years and renewing the current agreement with the City of
Des Plaines is proof that the working relationship between the communities has been
successful. At the present time, I do not see any modifications to our current areas of
response resulting from this agreement.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL J. CASSADY, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 9, 2015
SUBJECT: GENERAL AND AUTO LIABILITY THIRD -PARTY CLAIMS
ADMINISTRATION
Prospect
PURPOSE:
To present a recommendation for renewal of the annual service agreement for third -
party liability claims administration for the period January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2016.
BACKGROUND:
To assist in the administration of general and auto liability claims the Village has
contracted out the service to a third -party administrator. The Village's current
agreement for claims administration expires on December 31, 2015. A new agreement
is needed at this time for the current provider to continue to service the Village.
DISCUSSION:
Gallagher Bassett (GB) is the current service provider for general and auto liability
claims administration. The agreement for 2016 contains no changes to the terms and
conditions from the prior year. Below is a summary of fees for the prior year and 2016.

The claims administration fee increased 4.0% ($45) from the prior year's program. The
banking fee is an annual flat fee assessed for maintaining the escrow and processing
and making payment on claims. This service relieves the Village from having to
process payments internally. The banking fee decreased 14.3% ($62) from the prior
year's program.
General and Auto Liability Third -Party Claims Administration
December 9, 2015
Page 2
The Village is subject to an $8,000 minimum annual fee. Time and expense charges
are invoiced against the annual fee until the balance is exhausted. When the entire
annual fee is depleted, the Village will begin making payments for charges incurred in
managing the open claims. Our liability ends when all the claims for a particular period
are closed.
Our experience with GB continues to be very positive. Communication between the
Finance Department, Corporation Counsel and third -party claims administrator
continues to be strong. Based on our satisfaction with the service provided and their
holding the line on the minimum annual fee I recommend we continue the relationship
with GB.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended we approve the agreement for GB to provide general and auto
liability claims administration services during 2016 according to the proposed funding
and fee schedule.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: MICHAEL J. CASSADY, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: FINANCE DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 9, 2015
SUBJECT: WORKERS' COMPENSATION THIRD -PARTY CLAIMS ADMINISTRATION
AND SAFETY PROGRAM SERVICES
PURPOSE:
To present a recommendation for renewal of an intergovernmental agreement for continued
participation in the Municipal Claims and Safety Agreement (MCSA) cooperative for third -party
claims administration and safety program support services effective January 1, 2016.
BACKGROUND:
In 2012, the village entered into the initial three-year agreement, effective January 1, 2013, to
participate in MCSA. The cooperative provides, through a third -party administrator (TPA), claims
administration services and also a full-time safety consultant to assist in developing safety
plans, training and accident investigation. A dedicated adjuster assigned by the TPA works
exclusively on MCSA claims. It is important to note that both the claims adjuster and safety
consultant are employees of the TPA firm and not the cooperative. Typical employee related
expenses and liabilities are also borne by the TPA
MCSA members are the Village of Lombard, Village of Mount Prospect, Village of Wheeling,
and members of the Metro Risk Management Agency (park districts of Schaumburg, Mount
Prospect and Palatine). The cost of claims administration is based on the number of individual
member claims against the number of claims for the cooperative as a whole. The cost of the
safety consultant is shared equally amongst the members. The Village's current
intergovernmental agreement is set to expire on December 31, 2015. A new agreement is
needed at this time to continue membership in this cooperative.
The attached resolution amends an existing intergovernmental agreement for municipal claims.
The resolution provides for continued participation in the cooperative and the ability to terminate
upon provision of required notice. The original intergovernmental agreement and first
amendment are also attached for your review.
DISCUSSION:
Our experience during the first three-year term of the cooperative has been very positive.
Claims have been handled efficiently and the interaction between the Village and claims
adjuster is good. Support from the safety coordinator position has primarily consisted of
accident investigation and review and safety suggestions with a limited amount of training
during the first term. Staff is looking into ways to expand the use of this position in support of
departmental safety programs throughout the village. An outreach to the departments has
already been made.
Workers' Compensation Third -Party Claims Administration and Safety Program Services
December 9, 2015
Page 2
The total cost of the MCSA program in year one is $331,498. This amount is spread out among
the members based on a predetermined formula. The total cost of the program decreased
$3,720 or 1.10% from the prior year. The cost of the program to Mount Prospect in year one of
the agreement for adjuster, safety consultant and claims support services is $73,097. Mount
Prospect accounts for approximately 22% of the total cost and 19% of total annual claims. A
breakdown of the cost is as follows:
Year One
Year Two*
Year Three*
Claims Administration $30,097
$30,097
$30,097
Safety Consultant $43,000
$43,000
$43,000
Total $73,097
$73,097
$73,097
The program cost in years two and three is estimated at the same level as year one. The
agreement calls for a true -up at the end of the third fiscal year based on the actual number of
claims of each member and actual expenses for the three-year agreement. It is estimated that
the true -up from the first term will return approximately $30,000 to cooperative members.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Village Board approve the attached resolution and amendment to the
intergovernmental agreement to continue our participation in the Municipal Claims and Safety
Agreement (MCSA) cooperative. The first-year fee totals $73,097.
