F-4. IGA WITH MARICOPA COUNTY TO UTILIZE DISTRICT PROPERTY FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS Approve a master Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2014A003 between Maricopa County (County) and the Flood Control District (District) to facilitate siting of communication systems. Under the terms of the Agreement, site-specific agreements may be negotiated under which the District may provide use of its property, and the County will reimburse the District any realized additional costs. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is executed by the Chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the District, shall remain in full force and effect for a term of one (1) year, and will be automatically renewed for nine (9) additional one (1) year periods unless canceled by either Party upon written notice at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this Agreement. The County and the District both utilize radios in vehicles for communication purposes especially in areas where cell phone coverage is minimal. These radios require radio tower facilities on real property. The District has large areas of property that may be compatible with these tower facilities. This IGA will assist the County and the District in installation of these tower facilities which will be of benefit to both agencies. Subject to negotiation of site-specific agreements, the District will not charge the County rent for use of the facilities since the District will benefit from the use of the towers. A site specific IGA will be prepared for each radio control tower site on each District property. This agenda item impacts all Supervisorial Districts. (C-69-14-048-3-00)
