By April 5, 2015, the County will provide all Contracting Cities with a list of all Contracting Parties submitting such notices indicating which Parties do not seek an extension, which Parties request an extension under the same terms, and which Parties request an extension under amended terms. d. Timeline for Extension. If the Contracting Parties wish to extend their respective Agreements (whether under the same or amended terms) through December 31, 2017, they shall do so in writing no later than July 1, 2015. Absent such an agreed extension, the Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2015. e. Limited Reopener and Termination. If a countwide, voter approved property tax levy for funding some or all of the Animal Services program is proposed that would impose new tax obligations before January 1, 2016, this Agreement shall be re -opened for the limited purposes of negotiating potential changes to the cost and revenue allocation formulas herein. Such changes may be made in order to reasonably ensure that the Contracting Cities are receiving equitable benefits from the proposed new levy revenues. Re -opener negotiations shall be initiated by the County no later than 60 days before the date of formal transmittal of such proposal to the County Council for its consideration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the re -opener negotiations have failed to result in mutually agreed upon changes to the cost and revenue allocation formulas (as reflected in either an executed amendment to this Agreement or a memorandum of understanding signed between the chief executive officers of the Parties) within 10 days of the date that the election results confirming approval of such proposal are certified, either Party may terminate this Agreement by providing notice to the other Party no sooner than the date the election results are certified and no later than 15 days following the end of such 10 -day period. Any termination notice so issued will become effective 180 days following the date of the successful election, or the date on which the levy is first imposed, whichever is sooner. f. The 2010 Agreement remains in effect through December 31, 2012. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or amend the obligation of the County to provide Animal Services under the 2010 Agreement as provided therein and nothing in this Agreement shall amend the obligations therein with respect to the calculation, timing, and reconciliation of payment of such services. 5.
