The Resolution authorizes and directs the Chief Engineer and General Manager of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) to develop and negotiate Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) and Agreements for cost sharing, design, construction, construction management, rights-of-way acquisition, and operations and maintenance; to perform designs; to acquire rights-of-way; and to program Project funding in the District’s Capital Improvement Program, subject to the approval of the Board. The Durango Area Drainage Master Plan evaluated and developed solutions to mitigate flooding hazards in the Durango drainage area. This study recommended a regional channel and basin (the Durango Regional Conveyance Channel) near the Buckeye Feeder Tailwater Ditch, to intercept storm water flows and provide an outfall to the Agua Fria River . This portion of the Durango Regional Conveyance Channel is located between 75th Avenue and 107th Avenue, and between Lower Buckeye Road and Broadway Road.Upon full implementation of the Durango Regional Conveyance Channel, the proposed Project will reduce the flooding hazards and provide for 100-year outfall in the Durango drainage area.The Project was requested by the City of Avondale under the FY 2002/2003 Capital Improvement Program Prioritization Procedure, and was recommended by the Flood Control Advisory Board (FCAB) for inclusion in the District’s Capital Improvement Program. On June 26, 2008 the Resolution was endorsed by the FCAB. This agenda item impacts Supervisorial District 5. (C-69-09-006-6-00)
