71. AMENDMENT TO OPERATING AGREEMENT AMENDING THE PUBLIC RECREATIONAL MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES AT LAKE PLEASANT REGIONAL PARK Approve the First Amendment to the Operating Agreement amending the public recreational management responsibilities at the Lake Pleasant Regional Park (“LPRP”) and providing for the collection of fees from certain users at the Park. This First Amendment is intended to amend the Operating Agreement amending the Public Recreational Management Responsibilities at Lake Pleasant Regional Park, entered into on December 15, 1992 between the United States Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Reclamation (“BOR”), Maricopa County Municipal Water Conservation District No. 1 (“MWD”) and Maricopa County (“County”) (Contract No. 3-07-30-L0370)(C-30-96-007-2) and shall be incorporated into the Lake Pleasant Regional Park Management Plan required by Article 3 of the Lake Pleasant Regional Park Agreement dated June 29, 1990 (Contract No. 9-07-30-L0298)(C-30-96-007-2). The term of the agreement remains 50 years (June 29, 1990 – June 28, 2040) with a 50 year renewal option. There is no financial impact. BOR, MWD and County entered into the basic agreement (Contract No. 9-07-30-L0298) (C-30-96-007-2) on June 29, 1990 outlining the terms and conditions governing public recreational uses and provided for the collection of fees within the LPRP. On December 15, 1992 executed a First Amendment as pertained to the Operating Agreement amending the Public Recreation Management Responsibilities at LPRP (Contract No. 3-07-30-L0370)(C-30-96-007-2). The First Amendment for which approval is being sought is intended to amend the December 15, 1992 First Amendment which modifies and adds some definitions; amends the scope of the County’s exclusive recreational management authority; and redefined the establishment and collection of fees. All Parties have complied with the provisions of the First Amendment, for which approval is being sought, since 2004, but has never been formally executed. (C-30-10-016-3-00)
