MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
PLATTE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY OF RIVERSIDE
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is between the Platte County Health Department (PCHD), a
political subdivision of the State of Missouri, organized in pursuant to Section 205-010 to 205.150 RSMo,
and the City of Riverside (the City), an incorporated city in Platte County, Missouri. PCHD and the City
have a strong working relationship and share a common goal to provide excellent service to residents of
the City and to residents of Platte County, Missouri. Both parties agree to partner in the event of a
public health emergency, which may include a naturally occurring event such as pandemic influenza, or
an intentional event such as an act of bioterrorism. During a public health emergency, the City agrees to
allow PCHD to use the Riverside Fire Station to operate an Open Point of Dispensing (POD) site. The
purpose of a POD site is to allow rapid dispensing of vaccinations or medications to Platte County
residents.
Both parties agree to the following terms as outlined below:

selected as the location for the POD site, the City agrees to make Riverside Fire Station
available for this purpose. In return, PCHD agrees to provide prophylaxis on a priority basis
to the City employees and to members of their immediate households. The distribution of
any vaccine or medications, however, must be in accordance with established Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, hence some exceptions may apply.
PCHD may request the assistance of employees of the City, if available, to assist volunteers
with POD operations. The employees of the City are under NO obligation to provide this
assistance.
III. PCHD will be responsible for:
L Providing a point of contact person to answer the City's questions about the
POD;
ii. Notifying the City as soon as practicable once it has been determined that the
Riverside Fire Station will be used as a POD site;

employees assigned responsibilities under this MOU. PCHD shall be liable for any and all
claims, demands, expenses, liabilities, and losses (including reasonable attorney's fees) as a
result of claims or damages arising out of any acts or omissions of PCHD, its employees,
agents, or contractors in connection with the performances of dispensing services
consistent with this MOU.
V. PCHD will track all expenditures during a public health emergency to include the use of
utilities at Riverside Fire Station and will reimburse the City for this or any other expenses
incurred during the operation of a POD site.
VI. This MOU shall be effective when all parties have executed it, and shall remain in effect until
terminated in accordance with this provision. Either party to this agreement may terminate
the MOU at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice.

waiver of Sovereign Immunity or Governmental Immunity by whatever name as set forth in
