The State ofFlorida, Department of Community Affairs has recognized the need to include all public entities that are responsible for emergency management activities during disasters, or that may need assistance in responding to disasters, in this Agreement, and values your input into this issue. All Municipalities, Independent Special Districts, and Public Entities will be asked to sign the new SMAA in the near future, so please take this opportunity to voice your thoughts. Should questions arise regarding the Agreement, please call me, Helene Wetherington, at 561-712-76320. UWP �t Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement EXECUTIVE SUMMARY When the Counties and Municipalities signed the original Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement (April 1994), the Independent Special Districts were omitted from the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement System. Despite the omission of the special districts from the original agreement, many districts have responded to requests during past disasters. Adding the special districts as a party to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement is a significant substantive change from the original agreement, and will require all Counties, Municipalities and Independent Special Districts to sign the new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, to acknowledge acceptance of the new terms and parties. With the addition of the 234 Independent Special Districts, i.e., (Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Reedy Creek Improvement District, Special Fire Control Districts, Fire and Rescue Districts, Mosquito Control Districts, Water Management Districts, Water and Sewer Districts, Water Control Districts, Navigation Districts, Drainage Districts, Educational Districts, Port Districts), to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, Florida will expand its resources and address all public entities needing assistance when conducting disaster related activities. Some of the major differences in the new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement are: 1. There is no modification to sign along with the new agreement as before. 2. Includes governmental entities of every description. 3. Makes use of binding arbitration to settle billing disputes between parties. 4. No Participating Party may hire employees in violation of the employment restrictions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended. 5. The execution of this Agreement by any Participating Party which is a signatory to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of 1994, shall terminate the rights, interests, duties and responsibilities and obligations of that Participating Party under that Agreement, but such termination shall not affect the liability of the Participating Party for the reimbursement of any costs due under that agreement, regardless of whether billed or unbilled. 6. The Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of 1994 will continue to be in effect for one year from its date of execution by Participating Party, and it shall be automatically renewed one year after its execution unless within sixty days before that date the Participating Party notifies the Department in writing of its intent to withdraw from the Agreement. 7. The execution of this agreement by any Participating Party which is a signatory to the Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement shall terminate the rights, interest, duties and responsibilities and obligations of that Participating Party under that Agreement, but such termination shall not affect the liability of the Participating Party for the reimbursement of any cost due under that agreement, regardless of whether billed or unbilled. 8. Unless superseded by the execution of this Agreement in accordance with Section A of Article XI, the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of 1994 shall terminate and cease to have legal existence after June 30, 2001. May 18, 2000 STATEWIDE MUTUAL AID AGREEMENT This Agreement between the DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, State of Florida (the "Department"), and all the local governments signing this Agreement (the "Participating Parties") is based on the existence of the following conditions: A. The State of Florida is vulnerable to a wide range of disasters that are likely to cause the disruption of essential services and the destruction of the infrastructure needed to deliver those services. B. Such disasters are likely to exceed the capability of anyone local government to cope with the disaster with existing resources. C. Such disasters may also give rise to unusual technical needs that the local government may be unable to meet with existing resources, but that other local governments may be able to offer. D. The Emergency Management Act, as amended, gives the local governments of the State the authority to make agreements for mutual assistance in emergencies, and through such agreements to ensure the timely reimbursement of costs incurred by the local governments which render such assistance. E. Under the Act the Department, through its Division of Emergency Management (the "Division"), has authority to coordinate assistance between local governments during emergencies and to concentrate available resources where needed. F. The existence in the State of Florida of special districts, educational districts, and other regional and local governmental entities with special functions may make additional resources available for use in emergencies.

STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS "Dedicated to making Florida abetter p/ace to call home o mor SH covern- STEVEN M. SEIBERT Go _ - - Secretary September 13, 2000 MEMORANDUM TO: All Political Subdivisions a AtI�� �� FROM: Jose F. Myers, Director Division of Emergency Management SUBJECT: Execution of the New Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, dated July 31, 2000 When disasters strike, the initial resources to protect the health and safety of our citizens will come from local efforts including Municipal and County resources. However, if the response and/or the recovery efforts are beyond the capability of local resources, requests for assistance will be made to the State. If the disaster exceeds the State's ability to support local governments, the State may request additional assistance through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact or from Federal assistance to supplement the State's efforts. A proven method to augment emergency resources in a cost effective and timesaving manner is through the implementation of mutual aid agreements. Over the past six years, the Division of Emergency Management has become a strong proponent of participation in the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement. Currently, we recognize the process can be further strengthened with the inclusion of independent special districts. Mutual aid agreements are encouraged to maximize and coordinate the use of available resources within the State and to ensure faster reimbursements. Utilizing mutual aid agreements, regardless of the funding sources, is the best way to supplement emergency assistance to protect the health and safety of the residents located within the impacted area and is cost effective. The Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement was revised due to lessons learned from problems which arose since its inception in 1994. The Division of Emergency Management has replaced the previous Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, dated April 27, 1994 and superseded the Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement due to a minimum scope of activity and public works being included in the new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, dated July 31, 2000. The April 27, 1994, document will remain in effect to give local and regional governmental entities time to sign the new Agreement by June 30, 2001. 2555 SHUMARD OAK BOULEVARD " TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA 32399-2100 Phone: 850.488.8466/Suncom 278.8466 FAX: 850.921.0781/Suncom 291.0781 Internet address: hitp://www.dca.staie.fl.us CRITICAL STATE CONCERN FIELD OFFICE COMMUNITY PUNNING FMERCESCYMA\AGEMENT HOUSING b COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 2716 Ov. as Highway, sail, 212 2555 Shumant Oak R.kwmd 1555 Shuma,d 0,, a'wlewrd 2555 Shuma d Oak Rauhward���� AW,4111m, I 123050-2221 7alWhassee, ll. 12397" '_100 IaNhassee.

Adding independent special districts as a party to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement is a significant substantive change from the original agreement and creates access to a broader array of resources. The Division of Emergency Management requests all Counties, Municipalities, Community College Districts, School Districts and Independent Special Districts to sign the new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, acknowledging the acceptance of the new terms and parties. With the addition of the 900 plus Independent Special Districts, i.e., (Community College Districts, School Districts, Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Reedy Creek Improvement District, Special Fire Control Districts, Fire and Rescue Districts, Mosquito Control Districts, Water Management Districts, Water and Seaver Districts, Water Control Districts, Navigation: Districts, Drainage Districts, Educational Districts, Port Districts), to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, Florida will expand its resources and address all public entities needing assistance. Some of the major differences in the new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement are: • There is no modification to sign along with the new Agreement as before. • The new Agreement includes governmental entities of every description. • The new Agreement makes use of binding arbitration to settle billing disputes between parties. • No Participating Party may hire employees in violation of the employment restrictions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended. The new Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement also provides for the following: • The execution of the new Agreement by any Participating Party, which is a signatory to the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of 1994, will terminate the rights, interests, duties, responsibilities and obligations of that Participating Party under that Agreement, but such termination will not affect the liability of the Participating Party for the reimbursement of any costs due under that agreement, regardless of whether billed or unbilled. • The Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of the year 2000 will continue to be in effect for one year from its date of execution by a Participating Party, and it will be automatically renewed one year after its execution unless within sixty days before that date the Participating Party notifies the Department of Community Affairs in writing of its intent to withdraw from the Agreement. All Political Subdivisions September 13, 2000 Page Three • The execution of the new Agreement by any Participating Party which is a signatory to the Public Works Mutual Aid Agreement will terminate the rights, interest, duties and responsibilities and obligations of that Participating Party under that Agreement, but such termination will not affect the liability of the Participating Party for the reimbursement of any cost due under that agreement, regardless of whether billed or unbilled. • Unless superseded by the execution of this Agreement in accordance with Section A, Article XI, the Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement of 1994 shall terminate and cease to have legal existence after June 30, 2001. In order to become a party to the attached Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement, submission of your signed agreement must include the following: 1. A separate completed copy of Form A (Authorized Representatives Contact) for the county, municipalities, and all independent special districts. 2. A Resolution or a copy of meeting minutes from each governing board showing governing board approval. A Certificate of Insurance or other evidence of insurance coverage for each county, municipalities, and/or independent special districts.
