F-4. IGA BETWEEN MARICOPA COUNTY AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT OF MARICOPA COUNTY FOR FLOOD OPERATIONS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO DAM AND LEVEE SAFETY EVENTS Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2012A015 for flood operations and emergency response to dam and levee safety events between Maricopa County (County) and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District). The purpose of this IGA is to identify and define the responsibilities of the County and the District in providing emergency services to the residents of Maricopa County during times of District managed dam or levee related emergencies. This purpose includes complying with responsibilities listed in the Emergency Action Plans to coordinate between the County and the District monitoring of operational conditions and emergency response activities in the event of a flood emergency. Included in this IGA is maintenance of the notification database system. The County through the Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management (MCDEM) will maintain the notification database developed and implemented by the District (at an estimated cost of $50,000). MCDEM is allowed to include non-District notification lists as appropriate to MCDEM emergency operations. MCDEM will fund the cost of annual maintenance of the implemented system and any additional costs associated with the inclusion of any non-District notification lists. District may cost share in the annual maintenance of the notification database system for those costs directly related to EAP implementation (at an estimated annual cost of $6,000). The IGA becomes effective when executed by all parties. The IGA shall expire five years from the date executed by all parties but shall be automatically renewed for additional five year periods unless either Party give twelve months written notice of intent to terminate this Agreement. The District manages 22 dams and more than 30 miles of levees within and without Maricopa County. The District dams are regulated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR). Select levees are accredited by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Each regulated dam is required by the ADWR at Arizona Administrative Code (A.A.C.) R12-15-1221 to have a written Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The District relies on MCDEM to provide certain emergency services as set forth in each EAP. MCDEM relies on the District to supply certain data to MCDEM necessary for it to respond. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. (C-69-13-025-3-00)
