(A) A statement of the duration of the agreement, which duration shall not exceed 20 years;
(B) Appropriate provisions relating to the termination or renewal of the agreement as may be desirable and/or as required by the Charter and/or ordinances of the City of Waterbury. At a minimum, such agreement shall specifically allow for termination by the City of Waterbury for cause, for convenience and, where appropriate, for non-appropriation of funding. The agreement shall further specifically provide that any renewal thereof shall require notice of intent to renew to the provider participating public agency at least one year in advance of contract expiration. When the provider participating public agency is the City of Waterbury, any renewal shall only be upon terms and conditions negotiated by the Mayor and approved by the Board of Aldermen at the time of renewal;

The consideration shall be a prorated share of the total cost of the services, personnel, facilities, equipment and/or other property or resources furnished or provided. The cost may be prorated on the basis of any reasonable formula agreeable to the respective participating public agencies; provided, however, that, whenever the City of Waterbury is the provider public agency, the amount per unit billed to the other public agency shall be equal to or greater than the cost to the citizens of the City of Waterbury unless prohibited by federal or state law or regulation, the Charter or ordinances, existing contracts or otherwise. Any such payment condition shall be explicitly set forth in the interlocal agreement;
(E) Such provisions as may be feasible for the indemnification of participating public agencies and their officials, officers or employees, by means of insurance or otherwise, against any losses, damages or liabilities arising out of the receiving, obtaining, furnishing or providing of services, personnel, facilities, equipment or any other property or resources pursuant to the interlocal agreement;

(4) Provisions relating to the payment or sharing of the costs of compensation of members of the interlocal advisory board or boards, and reimbursement for their traveling expenses; and
(5) Such other provisions as may be appropriate and desirable governing the establishment, functioning and termination of the interlocal advisory board or boards.
