125. IGA WITH THE CITY OF SCOTTSDALE FOR PHASE 2A OF THE GRANITE REEF WATERSHED DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (Supervisorial District 2) Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2024A007 for Phase 2A of the Granite Reef Watershed Drainage Improvements Project (PROJECT) between the City of Scottsdale (CITY) and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (DISTRICT). This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it has been executed by all PROJECT PARTNERS and shall expire ten years from that date, or upon Project completion, whichever occurs first. The PROJECT area is located within the City of Scottsdale and the Salt River-Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC). The PROJECT is intended to mitigate the flood hazards in the area of the Granite Reef Watershed. The Granite Reef Wash Drainage Master Plan was completed by the DISTRICT in 2002. Since then, drainage studies and conceptual solutions, directed by the CITY, have been developed to mitigate the effects of a 100-year storm event. One of the proposed solutions includes this PROJECT, which is a regional storm drain to capture and convey stormwater along Pima Rd, McKellips Rd, and 84th St to the Salt River. The PROJECT is part of a larger project being led by the SRP-MIC to improve Pima Road. Partners in the Pima Road improvement project include the CITY, the FHWA, and the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). The DISTRICT is participating in funding a portion of the storm drain system through this IGA with the CITY. Construction of this PROJECT is the next step in implementing the drainage improvements for this area. The estimated PROJECT cost the CITY and DISTRICT are sharing is $15,000,000, and will be shared 50% / 50% between the DISTRICT and the CITY. The City will operate and maintain the completed Project.
