12. IGA WITH MURPHY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT #21 FOR FINANCIAL SYSTEM SERVICES Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County on behalf of the Maricopa County Education Service Agency (MCESA) and Murphy Elementary School District #21 for Financial System Services. This Agreement outlines the responsibilities of each of the parties’ management of the County and School District Financial System of record as part of the MCESA Financial System Support Consortium. The Parties agree to cooperate and assist each other in meeting the mutual obligations and duties of each office because it is law, good public policy and benefits the citizens of Maricopa County. This Agreement shall become effective from and after the date of its execution and expires on June 30, 2019. A.R.S. §15-304(A) requires the County School Superintendent to draw warrants on the County Treasurer for all necessary expenses against a school fund of the district. In 2002, MCESA and 31 non-accounting responsibility districts acquired a financial system as a consortium to reduce costs to both the County and School Districts, while assisting MCESA in their statutory requirement to not let a school district over-expend its authority. This agreement brings the Murphy Elementary School District into the Financial System Support Consortium. Maricopa County is authorized to enter into this IGA under A.R.S. §11-952 for the purposes of exercising joint powers or contracting for services. (C-37-15-010-3-00)
