§ 3209 — Reimbursement, disputes regarding reimbursement

Any requesting political subdivision shall reimburse the participating political subdivision or fire, rescue or emergency medical service provider organization rendering aid under this system. A participating political subdivision or fire, rescue or emergency medical service provider organization providing assistance may determine to donate assets of any kind to a receiving participating political subdivision. Such requests for reimbursement shall be in accordance with procedures developed by the Delaware Intrastate Mutual Aid Committee.

Should a dispute arise between parties to the system regarding reimbursement, involved parties will make every effort to resolve the dispute within 30 days of written notice of the dispute by the party asserting noncompliance. In the event that the dispute is not resolved within 90 days of the notice of the claim, either party may request the dispute be solved through arbitration. Any arbitration under this provision shall be conducted under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.
