[Adopted 8-18-1983 by Ord. No. 376 (Ch. 1, Part 5B, of the 1994 Code)]
The Township of Hatfield and the Township of Montgomery are both serviced by the Colmar Volunteer Fire Company. In order to promote clarification as to the workmen's compensation insurance benefits between the two municipalities, the parties have authorized the following agreement:
This article shall act as an agreement between the parties when it has been effectively passed by all parties through the proper legislative methods.
This agreement shall only apply for the assignment of fire company personnel for the purposes of workmen's compensation insurance as required by state law and shall not in any way direct or be controlling on the Colmar Volunteer Fire Company, a nonprofit corporation, as to the disbursal of personnel for legitimate fire company purposes.
The Fire Chief of the Colmar Volunteer Fire Company shall assign for the purposes of this agreement personnel under his command to the substation in Hatfield Township or the substation in Montgomery Township. The list attached as Exhibit A[1] shall be the fire company members assigned for workmen's compensation insurance to cover the Hatfield station. The said list is made a part of this article and shall be updated as members of the fire company are either dropped from the rolls or added to the rolls.
The list known as Exhibit B,[2] which shall become a part of this article, shall be the Colmar Fire Chief's assignment of certain members to the substation located in Montgomery Township. The said list is made part of this article and shall be updated as members of the fire company are either dropped from the rolls or added to the rolls.
The lists known as Exhibits A and B, as supplemented, shall be provided on a regular basis to be maintained in the Township offices of Hatfield Township and Montgomery Township with a totally revised listing to be provided quarterly to each municipality.
Hatfield Township and Montgomery Township shall agree to file workmen's compensation claims with their respective workmen's compensation insurance carriers for injured Colmar Volunteer Fire Company personnel assigned to substations located within their respective municipalities in accordance with the exhibits attached hereto.
This cooperative agreement shall, after approval by the governing bodies of all participating municipalities, be in full force and effect and binding on such participating communities and not before. This agreement cannot be voided without six months' notice, the said notice to be delivered by certified mail to the respective municipalities.
