Item Text

18. DATA TRANSFER AND USE AGREEMENT BETWEEN MARICOPA COUNTY AND THE ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS FOR AND ON BEHALF OF ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Approve and request authorization for the Chairman to sign documents related to a non-financial Agreement with Arizona State University and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. The agreement's purpose is to assist the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (MCAO) with the assessment, evaluation, and building of its new wellness program. ASU’s Dr. Stolzenberg, graduate research assistants, and MCAO’s Wellness Trainer will work together to conduct focus groups with employees and distribute surveys to employees to assess areas of stress for employees that might contribute to negative outcomes such as secondary trauma and burnout. In addition, Dr. Stolzenberg and MCAO will examine anonymized employment records over time to determine whether there is a correlation between the new wellness program and overall MCAO retention of employees. Finally, Dr. Stolzenberg and MCAO will work to define and describe the core components of the wellness program to help provide such information to other offices around the country as a potential model to emulate. Throughout the above work, Dr. Stolzenberg and MCAO will publish relevant findings (as approved by both entities) in academic journals and professional outlets (e.g. attorney practice guides, conferences for judges and attorneys, etc.). The term of this Agreement shall begin on or about April 1, 2024, and continue for five years after the start date, unless extended via modification or terminated by either party in accordance with the agreement. Approval of this item will not impact the County General Fund. (C-19-24-135-X-00)
