other County, its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers,harmless
from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses, including but not limited to
court costs, attorney's fees and alternative dispute resolution costs, for any personal injury, for
any bodily injury, sickness, disease or death and for any damage to or destruction of any property
(including the loss of use resulting therefrom)which are alleged or proven to be caused by an act
or omission,negligent or otherwise, of its elected and appointed officials, employees, agents or
volunteers.
A County shall not be required to indemnify, defend, or hold the other County harmless if the
claim, damage, loss or expense for personal injury, for any bodily injury, sickness, disease or
death or for any damage to or destruction of any property(including the loss of use resulting
therefrom) is caused by the sole act or omission of the other County.
In the event of any concurrent act or omission of the Counties,negligent or otherwise,these

If mutual indemnification language is used and includes a"waiver"of immunity under the

afforded by such acts to the extent required by a County's obligations to
Jefferson/Clallam County Coastal MRC Interlocal Agreement 2021-23 2
indemnify,defend and hold harmless the other County. A County's waiver of
immunity does not extend to claims made by its employees directly against the
County as employer. The foregoing indemnification obligations of the Counties
are a material inducement to enter into this Agreement and have been mutually
negotiated.
This agreement may be amended by the mutual written agreement of both parties.The basis for
amending or terminating this agreement may be an increase or decrease in project funding,
addition of required tasks not addressed in this agreement,or other items affecting the planning
process required under Chapter 36.125 RCW.
The effective date of this agreement shall be July 1,2021.This document may be executed in
