(b) Redwood City agrees through its Fire Department to provide to San Carlos fire and emergency services, such as fire suppression, prevention, investigation, training, and emergency medical services, all as more particularly described in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (collectively, "Services"). 2. Staffing and Compensation. (a) San Carlos shall pay Redwood City a fee for the Services pursuant to the staffing and compensation schedule described in Exhibit "C", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. No other staffing, assistance or compensation for the Services shall be allowed except for items covered by subsequent amendments to this Agreement in writing. (b) The total cost of the Services shall be reviewed and amended annually to reflect all of the following: (i) San Carlos shall pay the actual increase in the Personnel Staffing costs, including the then applicable "Employer Normal Cost" or its equivalent as shall be provided by Ca1PERS and the self-insured workers compensation cost, associated with providing the Services (which are included in Exhibit "C", Items A-D). (1)The actual increase in the self-insured workers compensation cost will be based on recommendations outlined in an actuarial report provided to Redwood City by its actuary. Each year Redwood City shall have an actuarial study performed on the Fire Department (exclusive of Labor Code section 4850 benefits and Temporary Disability time) for the primary purpose of providing Redwood City with a reasonably accurate estimate of the self-insured workers compensation cost associated with providing the Services for the following fiscal year. San Carlos shall pay Redwood City for 1/3 of the cost of the actuarial study but not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) in any given year. The actuarial report shall reflect a Confidence Level as follows: Year 1: 70% Confidence Level Year 2: 75% Confidence Level Years 3+: 80% Confidence Level For Year 1, the May 8, 2013 actuarial report provided by Bickmore Risk Services has separately identified the self-insured workers compensation cost for San Carlos as $233,000 at the 70% Confidence Level. For future years, the self-insured workers compensation cost will be apportioned between San Carlos and Redwood City based on the number of Fire Department personnel allocated to each Participating Agency for that year. For example, if in Year 2, the actuarial report were to conclude that the Redwood City Fire Deparhnent workers compensation costs totaled $1 Million, and 56 positions were allocated to Redwood City and 21 positions were allocated to San Carlos, 27% of the workers compensation ATTY/AGR/2013.101/AMENDED AND RESTATED SAN CARLOS- RWC FIRE AGREEMENT REV:06-19-13 VR Page 2 of 19
