51. IGA BETWEEN THE STATE OF ARIZONA AND MARICOPA COUNTY PHX-#5959315 Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Arizona Attorney General, the Arizona Department of Administration, and the Arizona Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County (“Court”) on the one hand (together the “State”), and Maricopa County on the other, for the administration of a workers’ compensation program with respect to employees of the Court. The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement is to provide that, with respect to Court employees, the County instead of the State shall be responsible for (i) obtaining and administering workers’ compensation coverage, including, but not limited to, case management and payment of claims; (ii) representation in all workers’ compensation actions; and (iii) all legal advice and representation relating to workers’ compensation issues. This Intergovernmental Agreement is effective upon final signature, with a term of ten (10) years, beginning July 2, 2016 and ending July 1, 2026, unless terminated sooner, with option to renew through written consent. This Intergovernmental Agreement continues Maricopa County’s responsibility for the above referenced responsibilities, which were previously provided under a February 3, 1992 Intergovernmental Agreement and its subsequent amendments. Maricopa County is required by various statutes set forth in Arizona Revised Statutes Title 12, Chapters 1 and 2, to pay certain salaries of Court employees and to provide places for Court to hold court; and, as such, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approves compensation of Court employees except as otherwise provided by law, establishes the location of Court facilities and provides and maintains them, approves the annual budget of the Court, pays Court employees through the County’s payroll system and provides health and insurance benefits to Court employees on a consistent basis with employees of Maricopa County. Because of this and the County’s close working relationship with the Court, the parties wish to have the County continue to be responsible for administering a workers’ compensation program for the Court. The parties have had an Intergovernmental Agreement to provide said services in effect since February 3, 1992. This Intergovernmental Agreement guarantees no lapse in the administration of claims or provision of services for employees of the Court. The parties agree that this Intergovernmental Agreement will be a cost effective measure for both parties. (C-75-17-006-3-00)
