The parties further understand that for those employees enrolled in an Association- sponsored program, who authorized the City Controller to make a payroll deduction to cover any additional costs of said dental insurance plan, the City will remit to the carrier a separate amount and appropriate deduction list. The parties mutually agree that the City is not responsible for, nor expected to provide, any additional accounting, administrative, bookkeeping, and clerical or other services except as provided for in the above paragraphs, and that the Association assumes all responsibility for any services which may arise out of the administration of the Association-sponsored programs. The Association shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits or other forms of liability that shall arise out of or result from any action taken by the City for purposes of complying with this Article, or by failure of the Association or its dental insurance carrier to provide the coverage and services agreed to between the Association and the carrier. Management will retain all duties and responsibilities it has had for the administration of the City's Dental Plan.
