Master Interlocal Agreement, the concept of a lead agency will be used. When the term "lead agency" is used in this Master Interlocal Agreement or any interlocal agreement executed hereafter between the parties, the concept shall mean and include that the lead agency shall be primarily responsible for the administration and implementation of the referenced agreement. The agency taking the lead on any particular agreement does not thereby incur any greater liability for performance of the agreement, which shall remain with the parties as set forth in the interlocal agreement. The lead agency will be responsible for contract administration in the manner specified in the interlocal agreement. Lead agency duties may include but not be limited to billing the other parties for appropriate reimbursement of costs incurred under the agreement, acting as the employer when called for under any applicable agreement (unless otherwise provided in the interlocal agreement), and also acting as liaison or contracting party with any third parties affected by the interlocal agreement. 12. REIMBURSABLE COSTS. Those interlocal agreements which provide for reimbursable costs to the lead agency or any other party shall, unless specified otherwise in the interlocal, use the current version of the Washington State Fire Chiefs Association wage and benefit schedule to establish the rates for all costs for reimbursement. 13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Master Interlocal Agreement and Exhibit A (regarding reimbursable costs) embrace and include the entire understanding of the parties.

Such interlocal agreements are to be appended as exhibits to this Agreement and are intended to be incorporated herein by reference as a part of the Master Interlocal Agreement. 14. GOVERNING LAW.
