55. IGA WITH CITY OF PHOENIX FOR MARICOPA TRAIL SEGMENT 9 Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Phoenix (City) and the Maricopa County Parks Department (County) for a portion of Maricopa Trail Segment 9 (Trail). This IGA will establish a partnership between the County and City to construct a multi-modal trail section as an alternative transportation route. This trail is a connecting piece of the Maricopa and Sun Circle Trail between San Tan Mountain Regional Park and Estrella Mountain Regional Park through neighboring jurisdictions. This IGA also provides for the County’s Director of Parks or designee with the authority and charged with the responsibility for proper administration of the Agreement. The Trail will follow routes designated as part of the City’s Tres Rios Wetlands Project areas. The route will follow part of the City’s operations and maintenance (O&M) road system within this area with a connector Trail to be constructed by the County between 115th Avenue (Avondale Boulevard) and 113th Avenue. It will then follow the City’s designated O&M system to a trailhead to be constructed at 91st Avenue. The Trail will cross and then traverse the east side of 91st Avenue south to the Tres Rios Wetlands Project access road. It will follow that access south of the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant to a Salt River Project easement on the east side of the site. The route is graphically described by the attached Exhibit A “Trail Map”. These corridors will create an off-street multimodal, non-motorized trail opportunity as part of the County's Trail within and outside of the City's corporate boundaries. This agreement shall expire 10 years after execution except as provided in the agreement regarding continued use. This item is located in Supervisorial District 5. (C-30-16-014-M-00)
