Common use of Annual Operating Plan Clause in Contracts

Annual Operating Plan. The parties shall develop, review, and execute, along with other participants, an Annual Operating Plan (“AOP”) before April 1 of each year that this Agreement is in effect. The AOP will establish specific operational procedures intended to ensure prompt and effective response to and suppression of wildland fires. So long as the County has paid its Annual Contribution for the current Initial Term or Renewal Term, failure to execute an AOP by the April 1 deadline will not result in a penalty to any party pursuant to this Agreement. Instead, failure to execute an AOP by the April 1 deadline may cause a party to be in default of this Agreement pursuant to section H(1), thereby preventing an automatic subsequent Renewal Term pursuant to section E(2).
