F-3. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE CENTRAL ARIZONA WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2008A003 between the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) and the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD). The purpose of this Agreement is to define the roles and responsibilities of the District and CAWCD regarding the ALERT weather station located at the south end of Lake Pleasant . CAWCD has owned and operated an ALERT weather station (STATION) at the south end of Lake Pleasant from 1993 - 2007. The STATION measures and transmits air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed/direction, and evaporation data. During that time the STATION used the DISTRICT's telecommunication network to transmit its data, and the DISTRICT's web site for data display. In January 2008 the existing CAWCD STATION suffered a critical component failure, and due to its age, could not be repaired. CAWCD is therefore proposing to purchase a modern ALERT STATION, to be installed and maintained by the DISTRICT, with data shared between the two agencies, for the purposes of improved weather forecasting by DISTRICT, water supply forecasting by CAWCD, and recreational planning information for the general public. CAWCD shall be fully responsible for all initial costs of purchase and installation of the STATION as well as any subsequent costs of replacement for the evaporation monitoring system component parts. The District shall continue to operate and maintain the weather monitoring system as best serves the District’s interests. This project impacts Supervisory District 4. (C-69-09-011-3-00)
