56. AMENDMENT TO THE IGA WITH THE TOWN OF BUCKEYE FOR THE EXCHANGE OF SERVICES (ENTENTE) Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County and the Town of Buckeye for the Exchange of Services (Entente). The original Agreement was approved by the County Board of Supervisors on October 4, 2004 (C-64-05-073-2-00) and recorded on the 18th of October, 2004 (Recorder’s # 2004-1216088). The original Agreement outlined measures for the Parties to enter into a joint effort to provide a more seamless transportation system through a cooperative roadway maintenance program (Entente). The Amendment is for an additional five year period, and will only be extended by appropriate actions by the County and the Town. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the end of its duration by furnishing the other party with 30 days written notice. This Agreement looks beyond jurisdictional or geographical boundaries and instead focuses on the maintenance task and availability of the most economical resources. It provides the traveling public with a more seamless transportation system via a cooperative highway maintenance program. This Agreement could occur with “routine” or “emergency” conditions. Each individual maintenance task performed by or for the Town shall be handled via a “Letter of Agreement” (LOA) approved and signed by the Town’s Manager and the County’s Department of Transportation Director or their designate. The individual LOA would institute a tracking/accounting mechanism that would specify the particular services contracted for and show that services exchanged are of similar value, or that the reimbursement cost would not exceed the $200,000.00 threshold. Nothing in this Amendment shall be interpreted to enlarge or expand the authority of either party. Both parties, at all times are subject to existing County and Town policies, such as planning, budgeting, purchasing, etc. Supervisory District No. 4 (C-64-05-073-2-01)
