F-1. IGA AMENDMENT WITH TOWN OF GILBERT AND TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK FOR THE SONOQUI WASH CHANNELIZATION - QUEEN CREEK WASH TO CHANDLER HEIGHTS ROAD Approve Amendment FCD 2004A015A to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2004A015 for the Sonoqui Wash Channelization – Queen Creek Wash to Chandler Heights Road Project (Project) among the Town of Gilbert (Gilbert) and the Town of Queen Creek (Queen Creek) and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District). IGA FCD 2004A015 was approved by the Board on March 23, 2005 (C-69-05-100-2-00) and defined construction and operation and maintenance responsibilities. The IGA Amendment modifies the operation and maintenance obligations for the District and Gilbert. The IGA shall become effective when recorded at the office of the County Recorder. The project includes channelization of Sonoqui Wash from the confluence with Queen Creek Wash upstream to Chandler Heights Road and includes a large sediment basin within the channel at the confluence with Queen Creek Wash, located downstream of Higley Road within the jurisdiction of Gilbert. IGA FCD 2004A015 includes responsibilities for both Gilbert and Queen Creek to operate and maintain the project within their respective jurisdictions. The District has on-going operation and maintenance responsibilities for Queen Creek Wash including at the confluence with the project, and including removal of sediment from Queen Creek Wash. Sediment from the project that is captured in the large sediment basin is generated from both Gilbert and Queen Creek. The District has operation and maintenance capabilities for sediment removal that the towns do not have. By this Amendment the District will be responsible for occasional sediment removal from the large sediment basin, and Gilbert will retain all of its other operation and maintenance responsibilities of the project. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 1. (C-69-05-100-2-01)
