27. IGA WITH CITY OF PHOENIX FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY EVENTS Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) in an amount not-to-exceed $6,000 with the City of Phoenix to support two summer community safety and health events focusing on South Mountain youth and their families. These events, sponsored jointly by Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix, will be held at Hermoso Park and South Mountain Community Center and will enhance the County’s youth- and family-focused initiatives associated with the Crime Prevention Plan approved by the Board of Supervisors in March 2008. These funds will reimburse the City of Phoenix for unbudgeted staff salaries, recreational activities, refreshments and participant incentives. The City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, in collaboration with Maricopa County and community providers, will implement two health and safety community events at Hermoso Park and the South Mountain Community Center. The event objectives include: 1) promoting community health and safety opportunities; (2) showcasing the County’s youth and adult crime prevention and intervention programs and encouraging community participation; (3) strengthening collaborative efforts among stakeholders, such as adult and juvenile probation, community-based service providers, law enforcement, and faith- based organizations; and (4) advancing positive community messaging.
