RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the City of Rosemount entering into grant
agreements for the 2016-2017 Aging Mastery Program.
ISSUE
The Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction with the Rambling River Center in
Farmington have been awarded a grant from the National Council on Aging to host the Aging Mastery
Program (AMP). The City of Rosemount will be receiving $6,000 to operate the program. This is a
comprehensive and fun approach to aging well that encourages people to take actions to enhance their
health, financial well-being, social connectedness, and overall quality of life. Central to the AMP
philosophy is the belief that modest lifestyle changes can produce big results and that people can be
empowered and supported to cultivate health and longevity. Equally important, the program encourages
mastery – developing sustainable behaviors over time. Participants in AMP go through a 10-week core
program followed by optional elective classes and activities. Our two agencies will be jointly offering
multiple sessions of this program over the next 18 months.
Staff is recommending that the City of Rosemount enter into the necessary agreements to operate an
Aging Mastery Grant Program in Rosemount.
Included in the packet is a copy of the proposed grant agreements for your review and to be considered
for approval.

notices (including any copyright and trademark notices ) contained on the AMP Program, or any part of it
(including the Administrative Tools, Participant Materials and any content). Except as provided in Section
3.2, Client shall not use or display the name or trademarks, tradenames or service marks of NCOA or its
Affiliates without the express prior written consent of NCOA in all instances. Any such use or display shall

9. GENERAL
9.1 Analysis of Participant Data. NCOA shall have the right to access, use, reproduce, compile,
and/or aggregate any Participant Data for analytical, academic and other research purposes (including
publication of research reports, articles, presentations and other academic materials), benchmarking and for
purposes of extracting, obtaining and providing information related to the use and conduct of the AMP
Program, provided that the Participant Data is compiled and presented in de-identified form only, without
identifying the identity of the Participant (Participant Data in such de-identified form being referred to as the
“De-Identified Data”). NCOA and its subcontractors shall also have the right to make derivative works of
any De-Identified Data, including scholarly works and other publications derived from the De-Identified
Data and such De-Identified Data may be used freely by NCOA and its subcontractors for any lawful
purpose without a duty of accounting to Client. Client further agrees that NCOA may identify Client in
works resulting from analysis of the AMP Program and use of the De-Identified Data as a participant in the
AMP Program and source of such data. De-Identified Data shall not be considered Confidential Information
under this Agreement.
9.2 Audit Rights. Client shall keep and maintain at all times during the Term and for a period of
twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Audit Period”), complete and accurate books and records to permit
substantiation and verification of compliance with this Agreement. NCOA and/or its representatives shall
have the right during the Audit Period, upon no less than fifteen (15) business days prior written notice, to
inspect, review and copy the books and records of Client and its subcontractors for the purpose of verifying
compliance with the terms hereof and/ or assuring high quality implementation of the AMP Program by
Client. All audits shall take place at a location or locations designated by NCOA and at mutually agreed
times during normal business hours and shall not unreasonably disrupt or interrupt the normal business
operations of Client. NCOA shall pay the costs of such audits.
9.3 Compliance with Laws/ Indemnity. CLIENT AGREES TO COMPLY WITH ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS IN CONNECTION WITH CLIENT'S AND ITS PARTICIPANTS’ USE OF THE
AMP PROGRAM, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LAWS CONCERNING PRIVACY AND
INFRINGEMENT OF THIRS PARTY RIGHTS. CLIENT AGREES TO INDEMNIFY NCOA, ITS
AFFILIATES AND THIER RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES AGAINST
LIABILITY TO THIRD PARTIES (INCLUDING GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES) RESULTING
FROM CLIENT'S USE OF THE AMP PROGRAM AND ANY FAILURE OF CLIENT AND/OR ITS
PARTICIPANTS TO COMPLY WITH SUCH LAWS.
9.4 Injunctive Relief. Client acknowledges that any breach of its obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the proprietary rights and/or Confidential Information of NCOA will cause NCOA
irreparable injury for which there are inadequate remedies at law, and, therefore, NCOA will be entitled to
equitable relief in addition to all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law or in equity.
9.5 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party under this Agreement
shall be given in writing and shall be delivered either by hand (provided a written receipt is obtained
indicating that such delivery was made), sent by a reputable overnight mail service (e.g., Federal Express),
or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), or by facsimile or e-mail (with confirmation
copies sent by registered mail) addressed to the receiving party at its address set forth above. Either party
may change the address to which notice or payment is to be sent by written notice to the other party
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.

9.6 Assignment. Client may not assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder, either in
whole or in part, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of NCOA.
Any attempted assignment or delegation (by operation of law or otherwise) without NCOA's written consent
will be void. The rights and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit
of the parties' respective successors and permitted assigns.
9.7 Waiver and Modification. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement
will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any waiver, amendment
or other modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by
the parties.
9.8 Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this
Agreement to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full
force and effect.
9.9 Controlling Law. This agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
Federal laws of the United States and the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to principles of
conflicts of law thereof. The parties stipulate and agree that any litigation arising from or relating to this
Agreement will be filed and prosecuted before a court of competent subject matter jurisdiction in the
District of Columbia. The parties consent to the jurisdiction of such courts over them, stipulate to the
convenience, efficiency and fairness of proceeding in such courts, and covenant not to assert any objection
to proceeding in such courts based on the alleged inconvenience, inefficiency or unfairness of such courts.
9.10 Headings. Headings used in this Agreement are for ease of references only and shall not be
used to interpret any aspect of this Agreement.
9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits which are incorporated herein by
reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes and replaces all prior and contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral,
regarding such subject matter.
9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be an
original and together which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A copy of a digital or original
signature (including an electronic copy) may be used for any and all purposes for which the original
signature may have been used. The parties further waive any right to challenge the admissibility or
authenticity of this document in a court of law based solely on the absence of an original signature.
