Exhibit A - Memorandum of Agreement - NWC911
Upon the date when all participants have approved and signed the revised Northwest
Central 9-1-1 System Intergovernmental Agreement, Rolling Meadows will be considered
to be a non-voting member of the system, and will be permitted to participate in all
activities and deliberations of the system.
Rolling Meadows will be granted voting rights when 9-1-1 operations for Rolling Meadows
are officially transferred to the NWC911 System and monthly surcharge collections
(landline and wireless) and system operational contributions are remitted directly to the
Northwest Central 9-1-1 System.
At that time, Rolling Meadows will have one seat and one vote on the NWC911 System
Board (the ETSB) (which is composed of the City/Village Managers of the member
municipalities).
Simultaneously, when voting rights are granted, Rolling Meadows will eliminate its own
independent Emergency Telephone System Board.
The Northwest Central 9-1-1 System will perform all necessary work associated with the
preparation and filing of an amended 9-1-1 system plan with the Illinois Commerce
Commission.
All 9-1-1 surcharge remittances and system operational contributions will be made
payable to the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System and be sent by the by the local exchange
carriers in the case of wireline surcharge collections, by the ICC in the case of wireless
surcharge collections, by the Voice over IP providers serving municipal VoIP subscribers
and by any other provider that may deliver 9-1-1 calls for their subscribers to the
Northwest Central office.
3. Northwest Central will deposit the net amount remitted by the local exchange carriers,
VoIP or other 9-1-1 providers based on the current system wide operating surcharge of
$.29 per line per month. This amount will be allocated to the common 9-1-1 system
funding pool and will be used for 9-1-1 system budgetary purposes. In addition Northwest
Central will deposit an additional $.43 per line per month. This amount will be allocated to
a radio system infrastructure replacement fund.
If Rolling Meadows retains its surcharge at a rate that is higher that $.72 per month, the
surplus may be applied to any lawful 9-1-1 related expense as Rolling Meadows directs.
Northwest Central will administer those funds as directed by Rolling Meadows.
If at a later date, the members of the system determine that there is a need to increase
the monthly operating surcharge for general system operating expenses or capital
improvements Rolling Meadows will maintain parity in the portion of its contribution,
which is allocated to 9-1-1 system operations.
4. The Northwest Central 9-1-1 System will pay all expenses related to the provisioning of
Enhanced 9-1-1 service for Rolling Meadows effective with the transfer of 9-1-1 functions
to Northwest Central. This includes AT&T and other local exchange carrier service fees,
database preparation and maintenance, 9-1-1 premise equipment hardware and
software, and adequate backup capability.
5. Rolling Meadows will pay certain one-time fixed costs for new equipment and/or software
or for the modification of certain system components necessary for the integration of
Rolling Meadows into the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System.
Rolling Meadows agrees to pay such expenses to the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System on
an installment basis, with each installment being paid within 30 days after receipt of an
invoice from the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System.
The total combined one-time transitional expense for Rolling Meadows for system
modifications is included in the aggregate found in item number 4 of the NWCDS
Memorandum of Agreement.
6. Rolling Meadows agrees to be obligated for its proportionate share of the debts and
liabilities outside of normal operating expenses, which may be incurred after its effective
date of transfer of 9-1-1 operations to the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System. The
proportionate share will be based on Rolling Meadows' share of the total number of
access lines in the 9-1-1 system.
The Rolling Meadows ETSB may use 9-1-1 surcharge revenue, which it has received
prior to the transfer of operations to Northwest Central 9-1-1 System to pay any existing
debts and liabilities of its 9-1-1 system.
Any balance remaining in its 9-1-1 system account on the date of transfer of operations
must be transferred to the joint Northwest Central 9-1-1 System where such funds will be
separately identified and administered by the Northwest Central 9-1-1 System. Those
funds may be expended for any lawful 9-1-1 related expenses as Rolling Meadows
directs.
