27. IGA WITH YAVAPAI COUNTY FOR PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Yavapai County, Arizona and Maricopa County through the Office of Enterprise Technology, in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,800.00. The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement is to establish a modern and reliable radio communications system on Maricopa owned Yarnell Hill communications site for the purposes of providing Yavapai County with much needed public safety radio coverage not presently available. This Intergovernmental Agreement is effective from May 26, 2010 until May 25, 2011. Maricopa County Office of Enterprise Technology owns and maintains a public safety communications site at Yarnell Hill located in the southwest portion of Yavapai County. Currently, the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office has little or no public safety communications adjacent to Maricopa's owned Yarnell Hill site. Through an approved IGA Maricopa County can lease tower and building space to Yavapai County that will allow Yavapai County to broaden their current public safety communications in the southwest region of Yavapai County.
