the State of Missouri, ("Riverside"), and the City of North Kansas City, Missouri, a Missouri third-
class city and political subdivision of the State of Missouri, ("NKC"). Collectively, Riverside and
NKC may be referred to herein as the "Parties."
Recitals
WHEREAS, Section 70.815, RSMo, authorizes political subdivisions of the State of
Missouri to contract with one another for the provision of police services, which can be either
general or specific services;
WHEREAS, Riverside is the host jurisdiction of an event amphitheater venue located on a
135-acre site northwest of Horizons Parkway and Interstate 635 which is expected to draw upwards
of approximately 16,000 to 18,000 attendees at various events ("Events") throughout the year;
WHEREAS, Riverside has determined that its own police resources are insufficient to
ensure public safety and law enforcement coverage during the Events;
WHEREAS, North Kansas City employs duly commissioned law enforcement officers
with the training and capacity to assist with law enforcement coverage during the Events;
WHEREAS, Riverside desires to contract with NKC to furnish additional police personnel
for public safety services at the Events, and NKC is willing to provide such services under the
terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Scope of Service. NKC shall use reasonable efforts to authorize and make available
uniformed law enforcement officers, equipped with their department-issued duty gear, to support
and supplement Riverside's law enforcement resources during the Events.
a. Number. The number of NKC officers, their scheduled shifts, and reporting
procedures shall be coordinated between Riverside's Chief of Police and NKC's Chief of
Police or their designees.
b. Discretion and Voluntariness . NKC retains sole and absolute discretion to
determine whether sufficient staffing and operational capacity exist to make officers available, and
nothing in this Agreement shall obligate NKC to make personnel available. NKC may withdraw
or reduce personnel at any time if, in the judgment of its Chief of Police or designee, continued
participation would impact NKC's law enforcement operations, public safety obligations, or
officer safety. NKC shall not be liable for any costs, damages, or claims arising from such
withdrawal or reduction of personnel.
c. Licensure and Commissioning. All officers provided by NKC must be currently
commissioned and properly licensed as peace officers under Missouri POST (Peace Officer
Standards and Training).
d. Right to Decline Assignment. Upon consultation between the Chiefs of Police,
Riverside may decline the assignment of any proposed officer from NKC to an Event.
e. Vehicles and Equipment. NKC may authorize its officers to use NKC-owned
patrol vehicles and equipment at the Event, subject to applicable NKC policies and insurance
coverage. NKC shall maintain comprehensive vehicle and equipment insurance and shall bear sole
responsibility for maintenance, damage, and liability related to such vehicles and equipment. NKC
shall provide Riverside with proof of insurance upon request. Neither Party shall be responsible
for damage to the other Party's vehicles or equipment unless caused by gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
2. Authority and Immunities. While acting pursuant to this Agreement, NKC officers shall
have the same powers of arrest as Riverside officers, and shall have the same immunity as if acting
within their own jurisdiction, all as conferred by Section 70.815, RSMo.
3. Arrest and Custody Procedures. Prior to each Event, Riverside shall provide NKC
officers with written protocols regarding arrest, detention, booking procedures, probable cause
documentation, evidence handling, and transportation of arrestees. NKC officers shall make
reasonable efforts to adhere to such protocols. Riverside acknowledges that NKC officers' good
faith compliance with such protocols shall not give rise to liability against NKC or its officers.
Unless otherwise directed by Riverside's on-scene command structure, all arrestees taken into
custody by NKC officers shall be transported to the designated Riverside detention or holding
facility, where custody shall be formally transferred to Riverside personnel. NKC officers shall
complete any required arrest reports, witness statements, and incident documentation in a timely
manner and in a format acceptable to Riverside's prosecuting authority. Evidence seized by NKC
officers during the Event shall be packaged, labeled, and transferred in accordance with Riverside's
chain-of-custody procedures and logged into Riverside's designated evidence control system.
2
4. Employer. NKC officers shall remain employees of NKC for all employment-related
purposes, including but not limited to workers' compensation, compensation and benefits, and
disciplinary authority.
5. Command. While assigned to the Events, NKC Officers shall remain under the supervision
of NKC's designated supervisory officer(s), who shall coordinate closely with Riverside's on-
scene command personnel. Riverside's Chief of Police or his designee shall retain overall incident
command authority for the Events, including authority to set event-wide enforcement priorities
and coordination strategies.
a. Media. NKC officers shall refer all media inquiries regarding the Event or law
enforcement operations to Riverside's designated public information officer.
b. Coordination with Other Agencies. NKC and Riverside agree to cooperate and
coordinate with other law enforcement agencies operating at the Event, including federal, state,
and county agencies, to the extent practical and appropriate. Riverside shall be responsible for
identifying and facilitating communications with other participating agencies.
6. Compensation. Riverside shall reimburse NKC for all costs incurred in connection with
the police services authorized under this Agreement.
a. Invoicing. NKC shall submit an invoice to Riverside within thirty (30) days
following the conclusion of each Event. The invoice shall include an itemized list of officers
assigned, the number of hours worked by each, the actual wages paid to each officer for such hours
(whether straight-time or overtime, as applicable), the calculation of the sixteen percent (16%)
employer cost and overhead amount applied to such wages, and the total amount due.
b. Payment. Riverside shall remit full payment to NKC within thirty (30) days of
receiving a proper and complete invoice. Any payment not made within thirty (30) days shall
accrue interest at the rate of 9% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is
less. Riverside's obligation to compensate NKC shall be absolute and independent of any third-
party reimbursement arrangements. Failure to make timely payment shall constitute a material
breach of this Agreement and may result in immediate suspension of services by NKC upon written
notice.
c. Compensation. As full compensation for services rendered under this Agreement,
Riverside shall reimburse NKC for the actual wages paid to each officer for time worked in
connection with the event, whether at straight-time or overtime rates, as applicable under NKC's
3
compensation policies and any applicable collective bargaining agreement. In addition to
reimbursement of actual wages paid, Riverside shall pay an additional sixteen percent (16%) of
the total wages reimbursed to cover associated employer costs, including but not limited to FICA
and Medicare contributions, pension contributions, workers' compensation premiums, insurance,
administrative overhead, supervision, payroll processing, and related indirect costs. The sixteen
percent (16%) amount is intended to represent a reasonable approximation of employer burden
and overhead and shall be applied uniformly to the total wages paid. No separate line-item
reimbursement for individual benefits, taxes, or overhead categories shall be required or
calculated.
7. Liability. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the acts and omissions of its own
officers and employees. NKC shall maintain workers' compensation coverage for its officers and
shall be solely responsible for any workers' compensation claims arising from their service under
this Agreement. Neither Party shall be liable for injuries to the other Party's officers or employees,
or for employment-related claims arising from their service under this Agreement, except as
expressly required by Missouri law. Each Party shall be responsible for the acts and omissions of
its own officers and employees while performing services under this Agreement, subject to any
immunities or limitations of liabilities provided by Missouri law.
8. No Waiver of Immunity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of
sovereign or official immunity by either Party or any officer or employee thereof.
9. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective on the date last executed
by the Parties and shall remain in effect until terminated in writing. Either Party may terminate
this Agreement upon 30 days' written notice to the other Party.
10. The Parties' Relationship. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a
partnership, joint venture, employer-employee relationship, or agency relationship between the
Parties. Neither Party shall have the authority to bind or obligate the other Party or its personnel
in any manner unless expressly authorized by this Agreement.
11. Notification of Claims and Cooperation. Each Party shall notify the other in writing
within five (5) business days of receiving notice of any claim, demand, lawsuit, administrative
action, or other legal proceeding arising out of or related to law enforcement activities conducted
under this Agreement. Failure to provide timely notice shall not relieve either Party of its
obligations under this Agreement but may reduce or eliminate the other Party's obligations to
4
defend or indemnify to the extent such delay prejudices that Party's ability to defend against such
claims. Such notice shall include a general description of the nature of the claim and any known
facts reasonably necessary to assess potential liability or involvement. The Parties agree to
cooperate in good faith in the investigation and response to such matters, including providing
access to relevant personnel, documents, and records, to the extent permitted by law and subject
to applicable privileges. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to waive any right to assert
sovereign immunity, official immunity, or any applicable defense.
12. Additional Provisions.

or remedies upon any third party.

instrument.

into and made a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. The Parties agree that
the Recitals accurately reflect the intent and factual basis for entering into this Agreement.

planning and execution of law enforcement services during the Events, including prompt
communication of operational concerns or adjustments as needed.

Agreement may not address every issue that could arise during its performance. Accordingly, the
Parties (primarily through their respective Chiefs of Police or their designees) agree to meet and
confer in good faith to address any matter not expressly covered herein. However, no such
discussion or informal agreement shall modify the terms of this Agreement unless set forth in a
written amendment duly executed by both Parties.
