42 2. If county or state laws are passed during the term of this Services Agreement that require a greater level of service, County agrees to negotiate in good faith with Cities and Contractor to reimburse Contractor for additional costs associated with implementing the new laws. Should such amendments result in significantly increased costs to Contractor, Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to agree on appropriate reimbursement. If Parties are unable to agree on reimbursement costs, Contractor shall document the increased costs and submit to the County Controller. The Controller will conduct an independent audit. Parties agree to accept the Controller’s determination of any increased costs. 3. If current state laws are amended, repealed, otherwise changed or suspended during the term of this Services Agreement that reduce, increase, alter, or remove existing relevant mandates, County may require Parties to meet to discuss possible financial and operational impacts of levels of service per the change in law, including but not limited to any decrease in contract amounts paid to Contractor. If, within 90 days, Parties reach mutual agreement as to how to proceed as a result of the change in law, it shall be memorialized as an amendment to this Services Agreement. If, after no less than ninety (90) days, Parties do not reach mutual agreement as to how to proceed as a result of the change in law, the County Controller will conduct an independent audit. Parties then have the option to accept the Controller’s determination. Should Parties decide not to accept the Controller’s determination, Parties have an additional thirty (30) days to determine whether they wish to exercise early termination of this Services Agreement, as set forth below. Parties’ failure to exercise this early termination option at the end of this thirty (30) days results in this Services Agreement continuing without change or amendment for the duration of the term determined by Section 9 Term and Termination of this Services Agreement. Should either Party chose to exercise this early termination option, the Party shall do so by providing three-hundred-sixty-five (365) days prior written notice to other Party of its decision to terminate.
