IGA WITH CITIES OF AVONDALE, BUCKEYE, GOODYEAR AND MARICOPA COUNTY FOR OPERATION OF SOUTHWEST FAMILY ADVOCACY CENTER Approve an intergovernmental Agreement with the Cities of Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear and Maricopa County for the operation of the Southwest Family Advocacy Center. This is a financial agreement to fund the operations and management of a Center used by a multidisciplinary team for the investigation, prosecution, assessment, treatment, protection, and prevention of child sexual and physical abuse, child neglect, child endangerment, adult sexual abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and elder abuse cases. The estimated cost to MCSO is $304,480 for FY 2024 with similar costs each year of the Agreement. Agencies are invoiced at least quarterly and are provided estimates of their annual proportionate share of Center funding by February 1st of each year. The Center is located at 2333 North Pebble Creek Parkway, Goodyear, Arizona. This Agreement is effective as of July 1, 2023 and terminates June 30, 2026, the “Initial Term”, unless terminated otherwise. This Agreement automatically renews for three successive three-year terms. An agency can voluntarily terminate this agreement with a 60-written notice to terminate. This Agreement supersedes the previous agreement approved in Agenda items C-50-13-022-3-00, C-50-13-022-3-01; C-50-19-074-3-00 and C-50-19-074-3-01.
