108. IGA WITH THE CITY OF MESA FOR THE ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY PROGRAM Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between Maricopa County and the City of Mesa for the Adopt-a-Highway program. The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement is to establish procedures to authorize the County Transportation Director (or his designee) and the City’s designee to enter into Letters of Agreement (LOAs) for specific roadway segments where right-of-way is owned by both Parties in order for the volunteers to perform roadside clean-up activities. The Parties desire to develop and implement a cooperative process that will allow the Parties to provide joint coordination efforts (exchange of services) through the County Adopt-a-Highway Volunteer Program (“AAH Program”) where shared roadway right-of-way exists due to annexations by the City. The AAH Program is designed for individuals or organizations who desire to provide volunteer clean-up activities within their community. The Agreement is a method of facilitating these activities by entering into Letters of Agreement (the “LOA” or “LOAs”). The Parties desire to authorize the County Transportation Director (or his designee) and the City’s designee to enter into separate LOAs for specific roadway segments where right-of-way is owned by both Parties. It is anticipated that the exchange of services between the County and the City will be revenue neutral. The benefit to the volunteers is that they may be able to work with one governmental entity rather than two. This Agreement should, therefore, provide a more efficient and cost effective program for the government entities and volunteers alike. Supervisory Districts No. 2 (C-64-14-147-M-00)
