Police Department/Presentation: K9 Foundation:
Mayor Casper stated the Greater Idaho Falls Police Foundation has facilitated the donation of dollars to procure the
K9s. 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. Chief Johnson also recognized additional K9s not in attendance,
Harry and Rocky, who are are getting ready to retire (a retirement ceremony will be forthcoming) as well as three
officers who are currently on travel for three additional K9 purchases for drug/detention dogs. Handler/Detective
David Shanor presented Skadi, a Belgian Malinois, stating training will begin in the near future. He believes the
Foundation was instrumental in getting Skadi. 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. Handler/Detective Jared Mendenhall presented Ardis,
an English Lab, stating Ardis is one of two dogs in the State of Idaho as an electronic source device detection K9. 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. He
expressed his appreciation to this Foundation. Mr. Isom introduced the board members, as well as recognizing
board members Nate Christensen, Carla McDaniel, and Chris Lee who were not in attendance. He also recognized
the Advisory Committee consisting of Austin Allen, Casey Jackman, Randy Hughes, and Stephanie Taylor-Thompson.
Mr. Isom stated the Foundation, with the primary goals related to mental health and addiction recovery, formally
formed in October 2020, including fundraising efforts. He read the Mission Station for the Greater Idaho Falls Police
Foundation, stating the forming pillars are police equipment, training, mental health and addiction recovery, and
community outreach. 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. Mr. Stevens stated the first Foundation event, a two-day event for emotional support and wellness for
officers, occurred in February 2021 at Watersprings. He also stated the Foundation paid for this event, and for an
officer and their significant other to attend. Mr. Stevens stated the Foundation partnered with the Cross Foundation
for the $30,000 grant, they have partnered with the IFPD for an additional $173,000 grant, they are actively
fundraising, they are seeking grant money from the INL, and they want to support the ISP (Idaho State Police) with
a motorcycle purchase for urban areas. Mr. Isom stated seed money for the Foundation came from Melaleuca, Ball
Ventures, and Bank of Idaho with a contribution of $4,000 each. 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

August 22, 2022 Council Work Session
this support. Mr. Lima shared the Foundation’s website. He believes there’s a community role. Chief Johnson
expressed his appreciation for these individuals.
Public Works/Construction Update: Idaho Falls Police Complex:
Mr. Canfield reviewed the project schedule, and the construction schedule for the main building (noting the
masonry block that was originally scheduled to start in the following week will not arrive until October 2022) and
the auxiliary building. He also reviewed the construction budget status – original contract = $23,847,576, noting
there has been one change order for additional asbestos abatement removal in the amount of $17,530.12; the
current construction contract = $23,865,106.12; and work complete through July 2022 = $3,994,333.44, stating the
complete and contract time through July 2022 are both at 17%. He displayed photos including the layout, the main
footing, the mechanical building footing, the roof system delivery, the auxiliary building footing, and the main
footing wall. Mr. Canfield reviewed the Project “Hard Costs” Construction, totaling $23,943,702; the Project and
Additional “Soft Costs”, including the FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment), totaling $4,437,441; and Owner’s
Project Contingency (Construction) 5%, totaling $1,225,743; for a total project cost of $29,606,886. Director
Alexander explained the FF&Es. Captain Tisdale explained the moving costs and audited evidence lockers. Mayor
Casper stated this project is an in-house team effort that has not been used before. She expressed her gratitude for
this process. 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.

Guidecard Software as a Service (“APCO IntelliComm” or “Services”).
1. APCO’s Obligations. APCO agrees to provide the Services, including hosting,
maintenance, and technical support for APCO IntelliComm in accordance with the usage
specifications provided to Agency and subject to the flow down terms of compliance for
embedded services as described in Exhibit A.
2. Use Rights. Agency agrees to utilize the Services in strict compliance with the terms of
this Agreement and limit user access to the Services to the number of authorized
positions for which Agency has paid. APCO grants Agency a non-exclusive, non-
transferable, non-sublicensable right to use the Services for their intended purposes.
Agency shall maintain and monitor a list of assigned users for the authorized positions.
APCO reserves all other rights in and to the APCO IntelliComm Services.
3. Use Restrictions. Agency shall not: (1) permit any third party or concurrent users in
excess of the authorized positions to use the Services; (2) modify, or attempt to modify,
APCO IntelliComm; (3) sublicense all or any portion of APCO IntelliComm; (4)
decompile any code associated with APCO IntelliComm; or (5) reverse engineer any
portion of APCO IntelliComm. APCO IntelliComm Services may include a physical
guidecard component ("Guidecard") for use in the Services. Agency agrees that it shall
not attempt to use the Guidecards in third party software or other technology platforms.
The Guidecards are locked to prohibit modification absent APCO approval. Agency shall
not modify APCO IntelliComm outside the approved protocols established by APCO.
4. Modifications. In the event that Agency desires modifications, Agency shall submit its
request in writing to APCO. Agency acknowledges and agrees that additional fees will be
charged for any Agency-specific configuration of Guidecards beyond two rounds of
initial editing. If modifying EMD-related Guidecards, Agency shall provide APCO with
written approval of the modification from Agency’s local medical director. Upon receipt
of the foregoing approval, APCO shall either approve or reject the requested
modifications. If such modifications fall outside the aforementioned two rounds of
editing during initial Services set up for Agency, APCO will provide a time-based
estimate where applicable and invoice Agency based on APCO's prevailing fee schedule.
Payment in full in advance will be required prior to APCO or its agents commencing
such work.
1
5. Fees. The total fees for APCO IntelliComm and Services are as described in Exhibit B
(“Total Fees”). If not enumerated in Exhibit B, additional fees may also be invoiced to
Agency for EMD-related training, certification, renewal, and re-certification of
instructors and employees pursuant to the standard APCO rate sheet applicable at the
time of delivery of Services to Agency.
6. Payment Terms. Agency agrees to pay the Total Fees in two installments per the
following payment schedule: an initial 50 percent payment upon the signing by Agency
of this Agreement and the remaining 50 percent payment upon final delivery. Payments
that are not received within thirty (30) days of the applicable due date shall accrue
interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (eighteen percent (18%)
per annum), or at the maximum amount permitted by law, until paid to APCO in full.
APCO may at its sole discretion defer or discontinue Services to the Agency while
payments are in dispute and until APCO is paid in full. Agency agrees that the charges
set forth herein are reasonable compensation for the acceptance and handling by APCO
of such late payments. APCO further reserves the right to use any and all means of
collection available under applicable law to collect any amount past due. 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;

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.

protecting all data passing through APCO IntelliComm, the cloud and the portions of the
non-public communications network within APCO’s control.
7
a. 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

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.
