Under the provisions of this contract, <br /> Orono agrees to make its records available to the Contract Cities for inspection far the <br /> purpose of determining the basis for the calculations by Orono under the provisions of this <br /> section. <br /> 17. Arbitration. If the Contracting City is aggrieved by the determination of the City of Orono as <br /> to the allocation of the actual costs of the prior year's service, the Contracting City may <br /> appeal said determination within 30 days after receipt of the City of Orono's audit. Said <br /> appeal shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the City of Orono asking for arbitration <br /> by a board of arbitration. The Board of Arbitration shall consist of three persons; one to be <br /> appointed by the City of Orono, one to be appointed by the appealing Contracting City,and <br /> the third to be appointed by the two so selected. The name of each arbitrator shall be <br /> submitted in writing to the other party.

The Contract Cities understand and agree that it is impossible <br /> to project with complete accuracy the actual costs for labor and equipment as well as the <br /> service to be required by each Contracting City for the forthcoming contract year,and there- <br /> fore,agree to a yearly audit to adjust the prior year's estimated police service cost as set forth <br /> above to the actual police service cost based upon the actual costs for that contract year. On <br /> or before April 1 of each year, the City of Orono will tabulate the actual cost of providing <br /> law enforcement services for the prior contract year and will submit to the Contract Cities a <br /> summary of said costs. The actual costs set forth for the prior contract year may result in <br /> either a credit or a debit applied to the estimated police service costs char;ed to the Contract <br /> Cities. If a Contract City is still participating in this agreement, and if a credit, one-half of <br /> the credit shall be deducted in each of the third and fourth quarters from the estimated police <br /> service cost payments required of the Contract City for the current year of service; and if a <br /> debit, the Contract City shall pay the additional sum to the City of Orono together with the <br /> estimated contract charge for the current year by adding one half of the debit to both the third <br /> and fourth quarter payments. The allocation of the credit or debit shall be made pursuant to <br /> the same formula set forth above. If a Contract City is not still participating in this <br /> Page 8 <br />
