42. AMENDMENT TO THE IGA WITH THE TOWN OF BUCKEYE FOR THE ANNEXATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY SOUTH OF I-10 Approve the 1st Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Maricopa County (County) and the Town of Buckeye (Town) for the Annexation of Rights-of-Way South of I-10. The cost of the project is $1,500,000 of which the County is paying 100% in exchange for Buckeye’s annexation of the project roadway. Funds are budget in Project Partnership Support (PSUP) sub-project T284 Buckeye Annexations south of I-10. The Parties previously entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (C-64-08-119-2-00) for annexation of rights-of-way south of I-10. In the IGA the Town also requested county funds to pay for future maintenance of the roadway. The IGA was effective on January 2, 2008, the date it was approved by the Board of Supervisors. The IGA specified that the $1,500,000 was to be paid over four years. Three payments totaling $1,100,000 have been made with one payment of $400,000 remaining. After some time, the Town determined that annexation of certain roadways was not feasible because of private ownership and state land issues. The Town therefore agreed to annex an additional 11 miles of roadway in addition to maintaining and operating the two portions of roadway that could not be annexed into the town. The County is in agreement with this proposal. The Project consists of: annexation of 26 miles of County-owned right-of-way into the Town of Buckeye, operation and maintenance of the remaining two portions of roadway that could not be annexed, crack/slurry seal work on certain roadways identified on the Right-of-Way Annexation June 5, 2007 map, and reconstruction of other roadways identified on the June 5, 2007 map. This amendment is necessary because, without it, the terms of the original IGA cannot be satisfied. The Town has met the spirit of the agreement and has worked with the County to develop a solution to these challenges that is both mutually beneficial and cost-effective.
