Attachments: ODOT_OregonPublicWorksERCooperativeAssitanceAgreement.pdf; Hi Greg, I had our City Attorneys reviewed the agreement and had a few comments/suggestions: - The agreement provides a statutory definition for the word “disaster” but not “emergency.” The agreement mentions “emergency” quite a few times but does not really discuss “disasters” again. - The “Incident Commanders” section is somewhat confusing regarding who makes final decisions and who’s direction personnel should follow. I would ask for clarification on this issue. - The “Indemnification” section is also ambiguous regarding damages to a “person” that fall short of a “damage to life.” Many similar clauses in other contracts specify damages to “persons, life or property.” The City is still willing to sign the agreement to participate, however I wanted to pass on the message to you first. Also the letter stated our commitment to the prior agreement expired October 6, 2014, however we received the letter in mid-January 2015. Did you mean to state October 6, 2015? Regards, Jennifer Cline, P.E. City of Molalla Public Works Director O: 503.759.0218 F: 503.829.3676
