Designation of a Fiscal Agent. The WPCG will designate one of the Participating Agencies to serve as the WPCG's "Fiscal Agent," in which role that entity will (i) serve as the WPCG treasurer and (ii) enter into contracts on behalf of the WPCG. The WPCG will review the designation of the Fiscal Agent not more often than once every three years and with at least six months of time for the then-current and newly-selected agencies to prepare for the transition. The selection is subject to approval by the governing body of the newly-selected entity. In the event of a new designation and approval of the governing body of the newly- selected Fiscal Agent, the then-current and newly-selected Fiscal Agents will seek approval from their governing bodies to (i) transfer funds or access to WPCG accounts to the new Fiscal Agent, (ii) assign all outstanding WPCG-required contracts to the new Fiscal Agent, and (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary or convenient to effect the transition of the Fiscal Agent role. The WPCG will establish a process for reimbursing the Fiscal Agent for its actual costs and expenses accrued in performing its duties under this MOU, including for staff time based on then-current hourly rates of compensation.
