She believes the city is fortunate to have the K9s team with the experienced officers/handlers. Chief Johnson stated Idaho Falls has traditionally had three dual-purpose K9s, noting the city now has six K9s due to community partnerships. He provided information for Argo, who is a dual-purpose dog for narcotics detection, apprehension, and handler protection, noting the city purchased Argo from a hospital K9 Program; Skadi, who is a single-purpose explosives ordinance detection dog, noting she was rescued from the Blackfoot Animal Shelter; and Ardis, who is a single-purpose electronic source detection dog.

He explained Skadi’s duties, and he believes she will be a great tool for safety. Per Mayor Casper, Chief Johnson stated the dogs live with the handlers, and they will have a space at the new facility. He also stated handlers will typically keep the dog(s) once they’ve retired. He recognized Officer Gabe Klepich as being the master instructor for the State of Idaho.

He also stated he is working with dispatch for elementary school presentations. Handler/Officer Mitch Bierma presented Argo, a German Shepherd, stating he is always working so extra caution must be used with people. He explained the 16 drive and characteristics for a K9. Officer Bierma expressed his appreciation to all those who support the K9 program as he stated K9 funding is not always easy. He recognized the ability to utilize a dog as a tool versus a human. Chief Johnson recognized additional community partners including the INL (Idaho National Laboratory), and Project Underground Railroad with the K9 Program, stating the Greater Idaho Falls Police Foundation has provided more than $30,000 to help the K9 program as well as helping with other grants.

Ms. Allen stated her relationship with the Idaho Falls Police Department (IFPD) began approximately seven years ago. She shared her personal experience of joining this foundation as well as discussion/conversation regarding the Cross Foundation. She believes first responders are the most vulnerable population.

He believes the best is yet to come, and he requested support and to help spread the word of the Foundation. Mayor Casper expressed her appreciation for 2 August 22, 2022 Council Work Session this support. Mr. Lima shared the Foundation’s website. He believes there’s a community role.

Mr. Canfield stated the project began in April 2022 with anticipated completion date for October 24, 2023. General comments followed, including any repercussions to the block supplier. Per Mayor Casper, Mr. Canfield indicated he spends 10-25% of his time on this project. Fire Department and Municipal Services/Presentation: Ambulance Collections: Division Chief Day displayed Ambulance Call Volume by Year from 2007-2021, stating the number of calls continues to increase which affects the amount requested for write-offs. He believes this trajectory will continue. Per Councilor Hally, Division Chief Day believes this increase may have been impacted by COVID-19 (Coronavirus), although he emphasized the amount of growth. Director Alexander reviewed the Ambulance Write-offs by Year and Call Volume from 2009-2021, stating the billing contract with Wittman began in 2014, and the Professional Credit Contract for collections began in 2016. She commended this company for their work on collections, stating collections have increased from 4% on old accounts to 11-12% on new electronic accounts. She also reviewed the combined totals of ambulance write-offs: Medicare – 53%, Medicaid – 25%, contractual – 5%, collection agency – 14%, and hardships – 3%. Division Chief Day sated the Medicare and Medicaid amounts have been fairly consistent. He believes the effort to collect is the goal of the group. Director Alexander reviewed the collection industry timelines, noting the goal is to collect ASAP. She also reviewed the 2021/22 Write-off Requests, totaling $3,827,633, noting these amounts are from 2017-2021. She indicated this write-off request will be included on the September 8, 2022, City Council Meeting agenda. Division Chief Day explained ways to pursue additional money through the insurance companies. Per Councilor Freeman, Division Chief Day stated the city typically collects approximately 50% of total gross charges. He also stated Medicaid is reviewing their collection data for any adjustment to ambulance reimbursement rates. Director Alexander noted this annual presentation assists with the auditors. Per Councilor Burtenshaw, Division Chief Day stated the budget is built around actual revenue. Per Councilor Freeman, Chief Nelson stated half the service is supported by the tax dollar and the remaining half is paid by the user fee. Director Alexander reminded the council that the Ambulance Committee meets monthly, and they meet with the collection agency quarterly. Chief Nelson noted Medicare and Medicaid make up approximately 65% of call volume. Municipal Services/Follow-up Discussion of August 11 Budget Hearing: Mayor Casper stated, per discussion with a quorum of the councilmembers, the August 23 follow-up budget meeting has been canceled. It was noted there was no concern by the councilmembers with the proposed budget as presented. Director Alexander recapped the Property Tax Levy and Valuation presentation at the August 8, 2022, 3 August 22, 2022 Council Work Session City Council Work Session. She stated, since that time, she was notified that the county is going to perform an analysis in the upcoming days which could possibly change the levy rate number of 0.00602239. Mayor Casper stated the city certifies dollars, which are based on those county numbers. She believes any slight budget adjustment could come from the Contingency Fund, although, any large amount may delay the budget approval. Council President Dingman clarified another public hearing would not be required if the maximum budget amount does not increase. She believes the council should proceed with the current schedule. Fire Department/Discussion: APCO (Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International) Dispatching Software: Chief Nelson stated this software was approved by the ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act of 2021) Committee and then approved by council. He also stated the software packages and dispatch contracts are held between dispatch and Bonneville County. He indicated the Idaho Falls Fire Department (IFFD) requested a software change as the dispatch software does not meet the IFFD needs. Chief Nelson stated the MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) is an agreement to the county that states IFFD will pay for the software. He is hoping for implementation by January 1. He also stated the approved MOU would then move to the commissioners, noting the cost amounts to $75,854.12, including a $10,000 annual maintenance. Per Councilor Francis, Chief Nelson stated Bonneville County will pay for the cost upfront with full reimbursement from the IFFD. Per Councilor Burtenshaw, Chief Nelson stated this software has no benefit to the county, and the current software is unable to prioritize calls. Discussion followed regarding the current software system and the costs. Per Councilor Francis, Chief Nelson stated the City of Ammon could potentially benefit if they would pay. He believes this would be a huge advantage for EMS (Emergency Medical Services). Chief Nelson and Division Chief Day explained the current process and the proposed process, stating there’s an upside to the safety side. Following additional comments, this item will be included on the August 25, 2022, City Council Meeting agenda. The council then took a break at 4:59 p.m. to travel to tour the site at 370 E. 65th S. The council reconvened at 5:24 p.m. Fire Department/Onsite Tour and Discussion of Fire Station Property: Chief Nelson stated the property, currently owned by the Bonneville County Fire District #1, consists of 1.2 acres, with services provided by well, septic, and Rocky Mountain Power. He is hoping to acquire additional property on the east or south sides of the property to allow additional parking. He indicated the current price to the property is $1,535M, noting this is a slight increase from the previous $1.2M as was discussed at the April 11, 2022, City Council Work Session. Chief Nelson stated the facility includes six bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double-deep bay with heated floors, and an exhaust system similar to Station #1. He believes the facility ‘as-is’ is move-in ready, although, bedroom doors and lockers would be needed at an approximate cost of $16,000, noting equipment could be transferred from Station #3. He indicated personnel could be provided from the SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Grant. He also indicated Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) has agreed to pay for the US Digital Designs alerting software. He believes the facility could be annexed and connected to city services following expansion of 65th South. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:41 p.m. s/ Kathy Hampton s/ Rebecca L. Noah Casper Kathy Hampton, City Clerk Rebecca L. Noah Casper, Mayor 4

Agency acknowledges and agrees that payments are nonrefundable once made, except pursuant to certain remedies otherwise specified in this Agreement. 7. Maintenance Fees. Fees are required to be paid by Agency to maintain continued use of APCO IntelliComm ("Maintenance Fees"), which may initially be included in an Implementation Fee. Maintenance Fees are assessed annually on a per authorized position basis, which may be billed initially on a pro-rata basis and, subsequently, invoiced annually with future payments due on the first day of the next Fiscal Year for Agency (the “Renewal Period”). APCO must provide Agency written notice of any change to the Maintenance Fees at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Renewal Period upon which time Agency has thirty (30) days to provide APCO written notice of termination. Inaction on the part of the Agency shall be regarded as consent to the increased Maintenance Fees. 8. Additional Services Upon Request. Agency may also elect to hire APCO or its agents to undertake configuration tasks or other ancillary work for which Agency is responsible. Adding disciplines (e.g., Fire and Law Enforcement) after initial Agency deployment of APCO IntelliComm shall also be subject to additional cost. APCO shall provide a time- based estimate where applicable and invoice Agency based on its then prevailing fee schedule. Payment in full in advance will be required prior to APCO or its agents commencing such work. 9. Term; Termination. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and is subject to renewal on the maintenance anniversary date (a.k.a. Renewal Period) subject further to the availability of appropriated funds[APCO1]. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written notice prior to the next Renewal Period. Regardless of which party terminates the Agreement, and regardless of cause, Agency acknowledges and agrees that APCO shall retain all fees and costs incurred by Agency up to and including 2 the date of termination, and remit to Agency the pro rata portion of the fees unused following the date of termination. APCO may terminate this Agreement immediately at any time upon APCO’s determination that Agency is not in compliance with the foregoing use rights and restrictions. Agency agrees that upon termination, it will immediately cease use of APCO IntelliComm and return to APCO any physical Guidecards purchased as part of this Agreement. 10. EMD Obligations. If subscribing to the Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) module of APCO IntelliComm, Agency agrees to the following: a. EMD shall be conducted by Agency in strict compliance with the requirements provided in the implementation guide for the APCO EMD program ("Implementation Guide"), including but not limited to training of instructors and employees, re-certification, and preparation, configuration and utilization of Guidecards. b. Agency is responsible for engaging a local medical director to assist Agency in the configuration of EMD-related Guidecards. Agency may contract with APCO to undertake edit rounds no more than twice yearly subject to additional fees, provided the edits have been specifically approved by the Agency’s medical director and pursuant to other terms as stipulated in the Agreement. Agency further acknowledges and agrees that only APCO can make edits to the Guidecards and that Agency will not make any edits on its own to its Guidecards. c. Notify APCO immediately of any change in either its local medical director or its EMD program contact, but in no event later than thirty (30) days from the change in personnel and/or contact information for said personnel d. The Implementation Guide may be modified at any time by APCO and Agency will comply with any new requirements within thirty (30) days of receipt of the new Implementation Guide. 11. Compliance Audit. Agency agrees that APCO may audit Agency to ensure Agency’s compliance with applicable guidelines during the term of the Agreement, or thereafter if APCO reasonably believes that APCO IntelliComm or the APCO EMD Program is being utilized beyond the effective date of termination. APCO may audit Agency no more than twice a year and the audits must be performed during normal business hours. Agency agrees to make all relevant records and personnel available for this purpose, so long as APCO provides no less than ten (10) business days’ notice of its intent to audit Agency. Agency agrees to fill out and return any compliance audit forms requested by APCO within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. 12. Insurance. APCO shall maintain the following insurance coverage for the duration of the Agreement and name the Agency as an additional insured as applicable and provide a copy of said endorsement page upon request from the Agency: 3 a. General Comprehensive Liability in the amount of $1,000,000 for each occurrence and $3,000,000 in the aggregate; b. Automobile Liability (applicable only if APCO personnel have automobile operating exposure) in the amount of $1,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage per accident, including coverage for owned, hired and non-owned vehicles; c. Workers' Compensation insurance in the amount as may be required under the applicable State Law or, if not applicable, Employer's Liability insurance with a suitable "other states" endorsement in the amount of $1,000,000 for each occurrence and $1,000,000 in the aggregate; d. Professional liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000; and e. Umbrella Liability of $2,000,000 for each occurrence and $4,000,000 in the aggregate. 13. General Representations and Warranties. Each party represents and warrants that: (i) it is, and shall remain, in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances, and all written representations made to the other party; and (ii) that the content, materials, and intellectual property supplied and utilized by each party do not infringe the trademark, copyright, patent, or other rights of any third party. 14. APCO Service Warranty and Remedies. APCO warrants that it will provide the Services in a professional and workman like manner consistent with general industry standards and that the Services will perform substantially in accordance with the most recent specifications. a. Both APCO and Agency agree to make the time and talents of applicable staff, agents, vendors, and contractors available to discharge the portions of their work in a timely manner in accordance with Exhibit C (“Implementation Schedule”). b. APCO will provide one secure production environment per Agency that includes the number of authorized positions specified in the Agreement. APCO will also provide remote, web-based training of applicable Agency personnel. Upon final delivery, agency will undergo user acceptance testing of APCO IntelliComm in a “go live” mode for an initial service and support period not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive days. By the end of this period, Agency will transition to maintenance service or have exercised the escalation procedure described herein. c. APCO IntelliComm is a hosted solution with no software to physically install. Depending on Agency’s network configurations, APCO may require the installation of a proxy server at the Agency through which users will connect to APCO IntelliComm to satisfy its encryption and security protocols. In this case, Agency will be assessed an additional equipment cost of $4,500. Such proxy server 4 will be configured and provisioned by APCO and its agents and sent with instructions for physical installation by Agency preferably in consultation with an IT staff person or consultant with prior knowledge of Agency’s network. d. APCO IntelliComm includes an Application Program Interface (API) for Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) integration. The API includes commands the CAD can use to communicate system events to APCO IntelliComm and allows transmission of ongoing call and transcript content as well as dispatch commands to the CAD. Configuration of the CAD interface with APCO IntelliComm is ultimately the responsibility of the Agency and its vendor. APCO and its agents will conduct integration testing within a test environment and verify same within Agency's production environment. The parties acknowledge that any time-sensitive parameters specified by the Agency associated with the performance of this Agreement are dependent on the Agency obtaining the full and timely cooperation of its vendor. APCO will also work with CAD vendors to enhance the baseline API when it provides system-wide benefit for APCO IntelliComm users. e. APCO and its agents will provide priority-based response and resolution of issues based on the severity level of the incident as generally described below. 1 Critical Critical system processing has stopped and Agency is unable to perform its duties as related to the system. No workaround, bypass or alternative is available. (Critical System is defined as: network infrastructure, server or key application outage with critical impact on service delivery at the Agency.) Incident Response Target: within four (4) hours of notification 2 Major A key component, application, Critical System or network is down, degraded or unusable. Processing is severely impacted at the Agency and no acceptable workaround, alternative or bypass exists. A potential critical impact on service delivery condition exists. Incident Response Target: within eight (8) hours of notification 3 Minor A component, minor application or procedure is down, unusable or difficult to use. There is some operational impact to Agency, but no immediate impact on service delivery. An acceptable workaround, alternative or bypass exists. One or more users are impacted. Problems that would be considered Severity Level 1 or 2 that have a workaround, alternative or bypass available will be assigned a Severity level of 3. Incident Response Target: within one (1) business day of notification 4 Question, A component, procedure or personal application (not critical to Agency) is not Cosmetic, usable. No impact to operations, single incident failure, and a workaround, with No alternative or bypass is available. Deferred maintenance is acceptable. Impact Incident Response Target: within two (2) business days of notification f. APCO encourages Agency to use the online ticketing process whenever feasible to better assure accuracy of reporting and promptness of response to issues. Phone support is also available on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis with live support available during Support Hours (8:30 am to 5:30 pm Eastern Time, Mon- Fri, excluding federal holidays). Regardless of time of day, online tickets and voice messages are routed to the attending support desk personnel for priority handling. g. In the unlikely event that a severity level 1 or 2 incident is not resolved within three business days, APCO will escalate the matter to its Chief Technology 5 Officer (CTO) or designee who will convene subject matter experts associated with APCO’s agents and the Agency to resolve the issue. h. If any issues cannot be rectified within a reasonable time after escalation, Agency’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to APCO and to receive a refund of any fees paid for the period beginning on the date the problem requiring correction was reported to APCO. i. This service warranty shall be valid provided that: i. APCO IntelliComm has not been modified, changed, or altered by anyone other than APCO and its agents; ii. The operating environment, including hardware, systems software and network connectivity, meets APCO’s recommended specifications and is in good working order; iii. Agency promptly notifies APCO of its need for service; iv. Agency provides adequate troubleshooting information and access so that APCO and its agents can identify and address problems; and v. All fees due to APCO have been paid. 15. APCO IntelliComm System Upgrades. a. Regular updates to APCO IntelliComm to fix bugs, glitches, or errors or to improve security, efficiency or functionality will be automatically delivered system-wide. b. Given the accelerating pace of innovation, APCO can anticipate a future time when substantial enhancements to APCO IntelliComm may justify the release of an entire new version of APCO IntelliComm. In such instances, Agency will receive at least ninety (90) days advance notice and, provided its warranty remains valid, shall be offered during an introductory period the new APCO IntelliComm system at a reduced fee from what APCO intends to charge new customers. Where feasible, APCO and its agents may be in a position to support both the old and new versions of APCO IntelliComm for a transitional period. c. APCO and its agents may offer add-on modules to Agency from time-to-time on a subscription basis that provide enhanced functionality, security, or analytic ability. Agency has the option to annually subscribe to such add-on modules, which will be subject to the same terms of use herein. Agency will be billed initially on a pro-rata basis and, subsequently, invoiced annually with payment due by the start of the Renewal Period. 16. Service Warranty Limitations. a. Agency is responsible for acquiring and configuring all its hardware, system software and providing all network and related interfaces necessary for implementation of APCO IntelliComm. APCO and its agents are not responsible 6 for any modifications made by a third party on Agency’s behalf or the operation or use of APCO IntelliComm with any other product, hardware device, system software, program, data, apparatus, method or process. b. APCO IntelliComm strives to incorporate to the extent possible various external data resources, including the Emergency Response Guide (ERG) from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and checklists from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) among other third party sources to include updates made to such resources; however, inasmuch as these resources are driven by protocols established and modified from time to time by those third parties, APCO and its agents are not responsible for the compatibility, security, configurability, functionality and continuous availability of such resources across all environments and over time. c. If Agency is making available to APCO and its agents any facilities, software, hardware or other resources in connection with APCO’s performance of its Services, Agency agrees to obtain any licenses or approvals related to these resources that may be necessary for APCO and its agents to perform Services without APCO and its agents being required to obtain added licenses or pay a fee. d. APCO does not guarantee that the Services will perform error-free, virus-free, or uninterrupted, or that APCO or its agents will be able to correct for all errors. Agency acknowledges that APCO does not control the transfer of data over communications lines, including the Internet, nor guarantee the speed or availability of end-to-end connections, and that the Services may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications. Notwithstanding the above, any and all compensation for down time that may be attributed to APCO or its agents shall be limited to a pro-rata refund of the maintenance fee based on the period of system unavailability. 17. Disclaimer of Other Warranties. ASIDE FROM THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE ABOVE SERVICE WARRANTY, APCO EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. 18.

In relation to all data provided or processed through APCO IntelliComm, Agency will at all times remain the Data Controller and will be responsible for compliance with all applicable data protection or similar laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). To the extent that APCO or its agents process data in the course of providing the Services, it will do so only as a Data Processor acting on behalf of Agency as Data Controller and in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. For any data and the content of any database Agency makes available to APCO and its agents in connection with this Agreement, Agency is responsible for the selection and implementation of procedures and controls regarding access, security, encryption, use and transmission of data and the backup and recovery of the database and any stored data. APCO may be obligated to disclose certain data associated with the operation and use of APCO IntelliComm to the extent required by law. b. Agency is solely responsible for maintaining the security of all user names and passwords granted to it, for the security of its information systems used to access the APCO IntelliComm platform, and for its Users’ compliance with the terms of this Agreement. APCO and its agents will act as though any electronic communications it receives under Agency’s user names have been sent by the Agency. Agency will immediately notify APCO if it becomes aware of any loss or theft or unauthorized use of any of user passwords or user names. APCO has the right at any time to terminate or suspend access to any User or to Agency if APCO or its agents believe in good faith that such termination or suspension is necessary to preserve the security, integrity, or accessibility of the System or APCO’s network. c. APCO disclaims all liability for the accuracy and/or completeness of data, including but not limited to data supplied through APCO IntelliComm or as added or modified by Agency or any third party. Agency bears the entire responsibility for its computer network, including Agency’s use of APCO IntelliComm, its integration with other third party interfaces, and the resulting performance of APCO IntelliComm and the exchange of data on Agency’s and APCO’s network. 20. Cognitive Data. The parties acknowledge that APCO IntelliComm is capable of cognitive analysis and machine-based learning that may improve and expand with use in ways that allow APCO IntelliComm to see, hear, speak, understand, and interpret user needs through natural methods of communication, thus making APCO IntelliComm for the Agency and all users more intelligent, engaging, and discoverable. Such added intelligent features may include but are not limited to emotion and sentiment detection, vision, noise and speech pattern recognition, knowledge, search, and natural language understanding. APCO and its agents may use Agency-derived data to improve APCO IntelliComm and related products and services, such as using said data to improve the underlying algorithms and models over time, including beyond the term of Services. 21.
