Elk • - Protection • providing Meeting Fiscal Impact Dollar Amount Budget Source Category Type Information November 2, 2021 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD - NEW BUSINESS Resolution The Elk Grove Fire Protection District (District) is responsible for providing fire and emergency medical services for unincorporated properties within Elk Grove Township. American Fire and Rescue Services Corporation (American) has been providing contractual services for the District since 1979. All employees serving the District are employees of American. The District has been operating in a structural deficit for the last several years. The annual levy for the District is around $800,000, while the annual contractual service cost is around $1.8 million. The District is losing more than $1.0 million each year and that is rapidly depleting their fund balance. With this significant structural deficit, the District cannot serve its residents and property owners in the future years. The Village of Mount Prospect has been working with the District since several annexations were completed in 2016 and 2017, to develop a permanent solution to provide residents and business owners within unincorporated Elk Grove Township fire and EMS protection. After evaluating several options, the most practical long-term solution was an intergovernmental shared services agreement with: • City of Des Plaines • Elk Grove Village • Village of Mount Prospect 1 • Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) has been drafted (attached) to establish fire and EMS responsibilities of the three municipal fire departments, establish a funding mechanism to fund these services, and outline the eventual wind down the District. The IGA would create an opportunity to consolidate critical life -safety services by serving the unincorporated areas with the surrounding full time municipal fire departments. The terms of the IGA are described below: * 1. The municipal fire departments from the three municipalities will provide fire and EMS protection from the closest existing fire stations and with existing fire department staffing. (See attached Response Map July 2021). 2. The current call volume of the District is approximately 325 calls. Per the territory assigned, the City of Des Plaines will handle approximately 133 calls or 40.9% of total call volume. Elk Grove Village will handle an estimated volume of 140 calls or 43.1% of the total call volume. The remaining 52 calls or 16.0% of calls will be handled by the Village of Mount Prospect. 3. The respective municipal fire departments will provide services based on its own internal policies and will provide the same level of fire and EMS as it provides within the respective corporate boundaries. 1. As mentioned previously, the unincorporated area generates a maximum property tax levy of $800,000. This is not an adequate funding level for the services being provided by the municipalities. In lieu of the District property tax levy, three Special Service Areas will be created to provide a minimum funding source of $1.OM annually (See attached SSA Map dated August 2021). A total of three SSA's are contemplated to ensure contiguity of parcels and ensure an equitable contribution from the mobile home communities. This amount is approximately what the District would request in the 2021 property tax levy. SSA 1 and SSA 2 will be enacted by Elk Grove Village, while SSA 3 will be enacted by the Village of Mount Prospect. If one or more of SSA's are not approved, the IGA will be terminated. (NOTE: The $1.0 million SSA represents a 5.29 percent increase over the current District property tax levy. Please see the attached Property Tax Analysis, SSA Tax Collection Analysis and SSA Analysis by PIN). 2. The SSAs are based on the Equalized Assessed Values within the unincorporated area. SSA1 will cover 37 percent of the total Fire and EMS Special Service Area taxes; SSA2 will cover 36 percent; and SSA3 will cover 27 percent of the Special Service Area taxes. These ratios/percentages of burden is fixed and any future changes in the Equalized Assessed Value will not shift the burden from one SSA to another. The parcels in the Special Service Areas may be annexed by any of the three municipalities, but annexed parcels are required to remain in the SSA. 3. The current and future five-year declining statutory payments for future annexations 2 of this area will be waived except $262,895 payable by Mount Prospect from the 2016-2017 annexation per the existing Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District. $262,895 will be paid by Mount Prospect into SSA Funds and will only be used towards the abatement of the levy as identified in the Other Terms. 4. The annexing municipality at its own discretion can abate a portion of the Fire or any other appropriate levy to protect the tax payers from dual taxation 5. The servicing fire department will manage ambulance billing and GEMT fees based on its own rates and billing practices to be retained by the responding municipality. 6. The year 1 Total Special Service area tax amount is set at $1.0 million. SSA1 will levy $370,000, SSA2 will levy $360,000 and SSA3 will levy $270,000. These amounts can increase up to 5.0 percent each year as allowed by statute. The year 1 $1.0 million amount may be abated subject to operating distribution amount from the asset liquidation. The total collected taxes from three special service areas will be divided based on the actual call volume handled by each department at the end of the year, as described in the below example. The funding mechanism provides fair and equitable revenue sharing between three participating municipalities based on actual call volume. If the Fire and EMS services begin later than January 1, 2022, in such case, the amount of annual funding of $1.0 million for the year 1 shall be reduced proportionately based on the actual commencement date. 7. The Village of Mount Prospect will administer and account for all three Special Service areas. All the participating municipalities will provide call details at the year-end. The Village of Mount Prospect will analyze the call volume and the collected special service area taxes for the given year, and distribute the appropriate taxes on or around March 15 annually after the year-end. • The Fire District agreed to levy maximum possible amount allowed by law for assessment year 2021 and agrees to handover the full levy collection to the SSA fund. The 2021 levy amount will be credited towards year 1 SSA taxes and any remaining amount will be paid with operating funds as identified below. After successful establishment of the Special Service Area, the District will begin to liquidate assets and will stop levying any future taxes starting assessment year 2022. The existing assets of the Fire District will be liquidated and distributed as below: 1. $50,000 will be allocated to the Rural Fire District Board for wind down and other legal expenses. 2. Existing Fire Station 11 will be deeded to the Village of Mount Prospect upon hiring of six additional fire fighters to be deployed to Station 11. 3. Existing water tender will be deeded to the Village of Mount Prospect, who will be responsible to staff and maintain the tanker/tender. 4. All remaining assets will be liquidated and will be added to the remaining cash balance and will further be divided as below: 1. 50% of the available cash will be called Capital Funds and will be shared between the City of Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village equally. The Village of Mount Prospect will not receive a capital fund allocation as it has received the real estate and tanker as mentioned above. 3 2. Remaining 50% of the available cash will be called operating funds and will be used to pay the legal fees for creating of special service areas. Any remaining amount after paying the legal fees and $262,895 from the Village of Mount Prospect (for statutory payment) will be used to fund the gap between year 1 charges and levy collection. Any remaining amount after year 1 charges will be credited towards the SSA levy for year two, three and four in equal amounts. • The District will begin to dissolve and agree to support and approve a referendum for the November 2022 ballot pursuant to state statute. • All three fire department mutually agree to provide mutual aid support and backup in serving the unincorporated area. The Village of Mount Prospect will also provide support with tanker in the unincorporated area as needed. The above terms summarizes the major provisions addressed in the attached Intergovernmental Agreement. It is recommended that the three municipalities and the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District adopt and authorize the attached intergovernmental agreement. Upon adoption by all the parties, pursuant to the Agreement, Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Village, but not Des Plaines, will establish SSAs. Following Illinois statute, Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Village each will pass an ordinance identifying the area where the SSA's will be located. After the ordinances pass, a 60 day waiting period follows before the SSAs can be implemented. Once the SSAs have been established, the Municipalities assume responsibility for providing Fire and EMS Services to their assigned Service Areas. Alternatives 1. Approve the attached Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect, City of Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village and Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District for providing Fire and EMS Services. 2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Approve the attached Resolution approving Intergovernmental Agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect, City of Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village and Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District for providing Fire and EMS Services.

American Fire and Rescue Services Corporation (American) has been providing contractual services for the District since 1979. All employee serving the District are employees of American. The District covers several unincorporated areas between Elk Grove, Mount Prospect and Des Plaines and has an annual call volume around 902 calls. Of 902 calls, 325 calls are District calls in the unincorporated area and 577 are mutual aid calls in other municipalities. The District covers four manufactured housing areas as described below. Development Number of Units Population Blackhawk Estates/Touhy Manufactured Housing 265 695 Des Plaines Manufactured Housing 164 430 Oasis Manufactured Housing 600 1,572 Willoway Terrace 305 750 Total 11334 3,447 Sources: ACS 5 and 1 year estnnatcs (2019, 2U15-2019), manufactured home development managing offices The District also serves 57 single-family homes in the Ropollo subdivision and various industrial and commercial properties, which are located both north and south of the I-90 tollway as described in the EGT Service Area Map: 6 Executive Summary f�u'Skdp. gLd:�d dflh Des Plaines Elk Grove Vilkige g EGT SERVICE '.. �,N Grove ������ ��,w�� AREA MAF' ,JULY 2021 �d FIRE STATIONS r/ SERVICE AREA a) The District has been operating in a structural deficit for the last several years. In 2017, the Village of Mount Prospect was analyzing significant annexations of District properties surrounded by the Village. Among other studies, a financial analysis of the District was completed. At that time, the District was funding annual contractual expenses for American at $1.80 million, while their levy was capped by PTELL at approximately $1.20 million. The District was rapidly spending down cash reserves of approximately $600,000 annually. The statutory payments paid by the Village of Mount Prospect for the recent annexation in 2016 and 2017 has allowed the Fire District to continue to fund operations until now. The Village of Mount Prospect scoped five-year statutory payments into three years period and made accelerated payments. The annual operating contractual service expense for the Fire District is around $1.8 million, while the maximum allowable levy amount 7 Executive Summary per the PTELL laws are approximately $800,000. The Fire District is losing more than $1.0 million each year and that is rapidly depleting their fund balance. With this significant structural deficit, the District cannot serve its residents and property owners in the future years. An assessment of the District cash position indicates they will run out of reserves in early 2022. b) It is important to note that within the industrial and manufactured home developments, public water supply is provided by the sites privately through shallow groundwater wells. It would be a significant undertaking by any municipality to provide a municipal water main to the sites. Besides Willoway Terrace, which receives wastewater collection service from Elk Grove Township, the other manufactured housing developments in the unincorporated area do not have the critical infrastructure necessary for the number of units and population living in the area. c) The manufactured housing communities account for a major portion of the District calls. Due to the assessment rules, these properties parcels are assessed at a much lower rate than their actual market values. The lower assessment for manufactured communities disproportionately puts the financial burden of the service costs on other properties and do not provide a fair and equitable support in proportion to the services consumed. d) If nothing is done, the Office of the State Fire Marshall may assign a territory or portion of the territory to Des Plaines, Elk Grove and Mount Prospect. In that case, the municipalities may provide the same services but may not have any taxing authority or revenue to levy any taxes. Solution The Village of Mount Prospect has been working with the District since several annexations were completed in 2016 and 2017 to develop a permanent solution to provide residents and business owners in unincorporated Elk Grove Township fire 0 Executive Summary and EMS protection. After evaluating several options, the most practical long-term solution was an intergovernmental shared services agreement with the City of Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village and the Village of Mount Prospect. An Intergovernmental Agreement has been drafted (attached) to establish fire and EMS responsibilities of the three municipal fire departments, establish a funding mechanism to fund these services, and outline the eventual wind down the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District. The IGA would create an opportunity to consolidate critical life -safety services by serving the unincorporated areas with the surrounding professional municipal fire departments. The parties to the IGA are: • City of Des Plaines • Elk Grove Village • Village of Mount Prospect • Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District The terms of the Intergovernmental Agreement are described below: Operations a) The municipal fire departments from the three municipalities will provide fire and EMS protection from the closest existing fire stations and with existing fire department staffing. (See attached Response Map July 2021). b) The current call volume of the District is approximately 325 calls. Per the territory assigned, the City of Des Plaines will handle approximately 133 calls or 40.9% of total call volume. Elk Grove Village will handle an estimated volume of 140 calls or 43.1 % of the total call volume. The remaining 52 calls or 16.0% of calls will be handled by the Village of Mount Prospect. c) The respective municipal fire departments will provide services based on its own internal policies and will provide the same level of fire and EMS as it provides within the respective corporate boundaries. 0 Executive Summary Funding a) As mentioned previously, the unincorporated area generates a maximum property tax levy of $800,000. This is not an adequate funding level for the services being provided by the municipalities. In lieu of the District property tax levy, three Special Service Areas will be created to provide a minimum funding source of $1.0M annually (See attached SSA Map dated August 2021). A total of three SSA's are contemplated to ensure contiguity of parcels and ensure an equitable contribution from the mobile home communities. This amount is approximately what the District would request in the 2021 property tax levy. SSA 1 and SSA 2 will be enacted by Elk Grove Village, while SSA 3 will be enacted by the Village of Mount Prospect. If one or more of SSA's are not approved, the IGA will be terminated. (NOTE: The $1.0 million SSA represents a 5.29 percent increase over the current District property tax levy. Please see the attached Property Tax Analysis, SSA Tax Collection Analysis and SSA Analysis by PIN). b) The SSAs are based on the Equalized Assessed Values within the unincorporated area. SSAI will cover 37 percent of the total Fire and EMS Special Service Area taxes; SSA2 will cover 36 percent; and SSA3 will cover 27 percent of the Special Service Area taxes. These ratios/percentages of burden is fixed and any future changes in the Equalized Assessed Value will not shift the burden from one SSA to another.

The Village of Mount Prospect will not receive a capital fund allocation as it has received the real estate and tanker as mentioned above. 12 Executive Summary b. Remaining 50% of the available cash will be called operating funds and will be used to pay the legal fees for creating of special service areas. Any remaining amount after paying the legal fees and $262,895 from the Village of Mount Prospect (for statutory payment) will be used to fund the gap between year 1 charges and levy collection. Any remaining amount after year 1 charges will be credited towards the SSA levy for year two, three and four in equal amounts. • The District will begin to dissolve and agree to support and approve a referendum for the November 2022 ballot pursuant to state statute. • All three fire department mutually agree to provide mutual aid support and backup in serving the unincorporated area. The Village of Mount Prospect will also provide support with tanker in the unincorporated area as needed. The attached intergovernmental agreement is drafted and reviewed by the legal and leadership teams of all three municipalities. R: e r::o rr) irr) e r) rr'fl o rr e irr d c ii o r� II te rrr rr It is recommended that the three municipalities and the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District adopt and authorize the attached intergovernmental agreement. Upon adoption by all the parties, pursuant to the Agreement, Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Village, but not Des Plaines, will establish SSAs. Following Illinois statute, Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Village each will pass an ordinance identifying the area where the SSA's will be located. After the ordinances pass, a 60 day waiting period follows before the SSAs can be implemented. Once the SSAs have been established, the Municipalities assume responsibility for providing Fire and EMS Services to their assigned Service Areas. At this point, the District shall discontinue all services and begin the process of winding down its affairs. Pursuant 13 Executive Summary to the Agreement, the District will initiate a dissolution referendum to be placed on the November 2022 general election ballot. Conclusion To develop an intergovernmental shared services agreement to provide critical life - safety services for unincorporated residents and businesses is complicated. The three municipalities worked collaboratively to identify issues and concerns that could negatively impact this plan in the future. The fundamental guiding principal of the IGA was to proactively plan a fair approach to responding to this area with an adequate funding source. Admittedly, this is an issue created by annexations in Mount Prospect and Elk Grove Village over the last twenty years. The plan is greatly enhanced by the participation of Des Plaines, given the proximity of their existing fire station to SSA 1. The three professional fire departments will benefit from enhanced training opportunities and backup from partner agencies. The municipalities will benefit from the vastly improved mutual aid our fire departments will provide the communities of Des Plaines, Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect. In the alternative, if a reactive solution is preferred, it will likely be determined by the State Fire Marshal, the General Assembly or a Judge in Cook County. In either of those cases, the many financial and operational variables considered by our Fire Chiefs, Village Attorneys, Finance Directors and City/Village Mangers in drafting this shared services agreement will likely be ignored. Further, the State Fire Marshall has advised they will not intervene until after a fire district is unable to provide/fund fire and EMS services. The municipal teams have done a great job trying to prevent that doomsday scenario by creating an innovative shared services agreement to provide and fund these critical services to the remaining pocket of unincorporated properties in Elk Grove Township. The next step is for the municipalities and the District to approve the IGA. Upon completion, the SSA creation process will begin, 14 Executive Summary which will include an open house for residents and businesses in the unincorporated area.

and among the Village of Mount Prospect ("Mount Prospect'), the Village of Elk Grove Village ("Elk Grove Village"), the City of Des Plaines ("Des Plaines") and the Elk Grove Rural Fire Protection District ("District') collectively referred to herein as the "Parties." RECITALS WHEREAS, Article VII, Section 10 of the Constitution of the State of Illinois, provides that in furtherance of the exercise of their powers, units of local government may contract among themselves in any manner not prohibited by law or ordinance; and WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, 5 ILCS 220/1 et seq., authorizes public agencies in Illinois to exercise jointly with any other public agency any power or powers, privileges, functions or authority which may be exercised by a public agency individually, and to enter into contracts for the performance of governmental services, activities, and undertakings; and WHEREAS, the District currently provides fire protection and emergency medical services to those unincorporated parcels located within its jurisdiction ("Service Areas"); and WHEREAS, Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, and the District are units of local government as defined in Article VII, Section 1 of the Constitution of the State of Illinois and they all are public agencies as defined in the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act, 5 ILCS 220/2; and WHEREAS, Mount Prospect, Elk Grove Village, and Des Plaines (collectively, the "Municipalities" and each a "Municipality') are home rule municipal corporations pursuant to Section 6 of Article VII of Constitution of the State of Illinois; and WHEREAS, the Parties recognize the essential nature of the fire protection and emergency medical services provided by the District to the geographically disparate Service Areas; and WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that the District is operating at a structural financial deficit and will not be able to maintain sufficient funding to continue providing fire protection and emergency medical services to its Service Areas in the near future; and {00119604.8} 466215_1 as mai �n 1 23 Revised 08/27/2021 WHEREAS, the Parties believe it is reasonable and in the best interest of all concerned that the Municipalities assume the responsibility to provide fire response, emergency medical services, rescue services, incident management and mitigation, and fire Community Risk Reduction activities (collectively, the "Fire and EMS Services") to the Service Areas as soon as the Municipalities are able to establish one or more municipal special service areas ("SSAs") over the District's Service Areas for the purpose of establishing a consistent and sustainable funding source; and WHEREAS, the Parties recognize the ongoing provision of the Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas requires that the Municipalities coordinate and cooperate to create the SSAs; and WHEREAS, the Municipalities seek to use their home rule and intergovernmental cooperation authority to (i) provide the Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas on an extraterritorial basis; and (ii) levy and redistribute revenues from the SSAs to equitably share the benefits and burdens of this joint endeavor; and WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to set forth their individual and mutual obligations regarding the coordination, funding, and provision of the Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas; and WHEREAS, the governing bodies of each of the Parties have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective constituents to enter into this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted by the Parties, the Parties agree as follows: 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals as set forth above are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement. 2. Creation of Special Service Areas. Immediately after the Effective Date, Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect will enact legislation and take all other measures necessary to create three Special Service Areas in accordance with the Special Service Area Law (35 ILCS 200/27-5 et seq.) over the contiguous territory within the Service Areas depicted on the map attached as Exhibit A ("SSA Eligible Parcels"). It is the intent of the Parties that the SSAs created pursuant to this Agreement will encompass the largest portion of the Service Areas possible while maintaining sufficient contiguity to comply with the Special Service Area Law. Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect may accomplish this either by (a) the creation of one unitary SSA by either Municipality, if there is sufficient geographical contiguity between the SSA Eligible Parcels and one Municipality; or (b) the creation of individual SSAs by Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect with boundaries corresponding to those portions of the Service Areas {00119604.8} 466215_1 2 24 Revised 08/27/2021 contiguous to each Municipality and each other. Des Plaines will not be required to create or maintain any of the proposed SSAs. To the extent parcels within the District are not initially included in the SSAs, any such omitted parcels will be subsequently added to the Service Areas and included within one of the SSAs in a timely manner or otherwise served by one of the Municipalities as soon as contiguity is achieved. 3. Provision of Fire and EMS Services. {00119604.8} a. Commencement of Fire and EMS Services by the Municipalities. No later than 30 days after the establishment of the SSAs, or a date otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties ("Service Commencement Date"), each Municipality will assume the primary responsibility to provide the Fire and EMS Services to the portions of the Service Areas that are assigned to it as depicted on the map attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B. The Parties agree and commit to work together to ensure a smooth transition of service to the District's properties. b. Apportionment of Primary Service Responsibility. The apportionment of the Services Areas between the Municipalities depicted in Exhibit B is based on a preliminary assessment of call volume, traffic patterns, and response capabilities, including equipment availability and staffing. This apportionment will be adjusted as needed by agreement of the Municipalities to ensure the highest possible level of service to each Municipality's Service Area. The District, until it is dissolved, shall be provided notice of any proposed changes to the assigned coverage areas for the respective sections of the Service Areas. C. Level of Service; Response Times. The Municipalities shall provide at least the same level and quality of Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas as they provide to their own residents. The Municipalities shall adopt all appropriate and necessary rules, regulations, and procedures to ensure prompt response times to the Service Areas that are reasonably consistent with the emergency response times provided to incorporated areas of the Municipalities. The Parties will be obligated to work in good faith to remedy any identified consistent response time deficiencies, including, if necessary or appropriate, reapportioning primary service responsibilities for the Service Areas amongst the Municipalities. d. Discontinuation of District Service and Tax Levy. The District will discontinue, and cause its contract service provider American Fire Service ("Contract Provider") to discontinue the provision of the Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas immediately upon the 466215_1 as mai �n 3 25 Revised 08/27/2021 Service Commencement Date. The District, after the Service Commencement Date, shall cease to levy a property tax over its territory unless the SSAs have not yet been approved or established. In the event a 2021 tax by the District is necessary, the District shall levy the maximum allowable amount by law, subject to approval by the municipalities. e. Mutual Aid Support. In order to provide the Fire and EMS Services to the Services Areas, the Municipalities will provide necessary mutual aid support to each other in accordance with established mutual aid agreements and procedures. Each Municipality will bear all dispatch costs arising from calls for fire protection or emergency medical services originating from their respective Service Areas. 4. Funding the Fire and EMS Services. {00119604.8} The Parties intend that the Fire and EMS Services be funded by annual special service tax levies in an amount sufficient to substantially compensate and reimburse the Municipalities' expenses incurred in providing the Fire and EMS Services to the Service Areas ("Annual Funding"). The amount of the Annual Funding shall provide for allowable annual increases or decreases as provided herein. The Annual Funding is further described as follows: a. Initial Annual Funding. The Annual Funding amount for the first year after the Service Commencement Date shall be set at $1,000,000. The amount is set assuming that the Fire and EMS services will commence on January 1, 2022. If the Fire and EMS services begin later than January 1, 2022, in such case, the amount of annual funding of $1.0 million for the year 1 shall be reduced proportionately based on the actual commencement date. b. Multiple SSAs. If the Municipalities determine it is necessary to establish multiple SSAs to levy the Annual Funding, the following requirements will apply: The proportional amount of the Annual Funding to be levied by each SSA as shown in the Exhibit A shall be as follows: SSA 1 37%; SSA 2 36%; and SSA 3 27%. This pro rata share of each SSA shall remain the same for the entire term of this Agreement, regardless of annexations. ii. Elk Grove Village and Mount Prospect will use its best efforts to create an SSA that correspond to the Service Areas as depicted in Exhibit B, excluding any non-contiguous parcels ineligible for inclusion in the SSA. The District shall use its best efforts to 466215_1 as mai �n 4 {00119604.8} Revised 08/27/2021 support the creation of the SSAs and direct its Contract Provider to do the same. iii. Mount Prospect will act as administrator of all SSA funds and shall be responsible for annually redistributing the revenue from its SSA levy to the Municipalities in the manner described in Section 4.c below.. Elk Grove Village shall turn over all SSA funds to Mount Prospect upon receipt. Mount Prospect will provide an annual accounting of all SSA funds to all parties to this Agreement. C. Calls of Service; Call Volume.

A "Call for Service" for the purposes of this Agreement will be defined as a call for assistance from the public that results in the dispatching of fire and/or EMS equipment and personnel by a Municipality to one of the Services Areas, either as a primary responder or mutual aid. A Call for Service does not include calls for other public safety purposes (e.g. police or public work call -outs) or inter/intra- departmental communications that do not result in dispatching fire protection or EMS personnel. d. Redistribution in Subsequent Years. The annual redistribution of the SSA revenues shall be based on a calendar year and be revised each year to reflect the proportionate call volume generated by each municipality during the immediately preceding year. e. Timing of Annual Redistribution of SSA Revenues. On or about March 15th of each year, Mount Prospect, as administrator of SSA funds, will distribute to the Municipalities the aggregate SSA Revenues among themselves in a manner that materially equalizes the SSA Revenues per call for each municipality ("Annual Redistribution"). To facilitate the redistribution of SSA Revenues, the Municipalities agree to track and share the call volume generated by their respective Service Areas on an annual calendar year basis. f. Deposit and Authorized Uses of SSA Revenues. SSA Revenues collected by, or distributed to, the Municipalities shall be turned over to Mount Prospect to administer.
