Scharbach, currently the Chief Financial Officer of the County, to serve as the Authority’s Executive Director. Whereas, under the provisions of Title 11, Chapter 7, Article 3, Arizona Revised Statutes as amended (A.R.S. § 11-951, et seq.), the Authority and County are permitted to enter into intergovernmental agreements for the purpose of contracting for the providing of services; and under the Act, the Authority is specifically empowered to enter into such intergovernmental agreements.

The scope of the duties and responsibilities of the Executive Director of the Authority shall be determined by the Authority Board. Regarding matters relating to the business and affairs of the Authority that require attention and action before they can be brought before the Authority Board for action, the Executive Director, may act upon the direction and instruction of the President or any Vice President of the Authority or as authorized from time to time by the Authority Board. 5. The County shall be entitled to be reimbursed and the Authority agrees to reimburse the County for the services provided to the Authority by the County, pursuant to this Agreement, such reimbursement to be effective for services provided from and after May 8, 2012, and on the basis the County will be reimbursed for the actual time expended by its personnel on the business of the Authority at hourly rates determined based upon such personnel’s actual County salary, plus all required County paid payroll withholdings and employee benefits. 6. In addition, the Authority shall reimburse the County for any costs and expenses it advances or incurs for copying, delivery charges, special handling, express mail or express delivery charges, telephone and/or electronic communication charges and computer charges, publication charges, travel expenses and other normal out-of-pocket business expenses.

If an Indemnity Claim arises, then upon demand by the party seeking indemnification, the indemnifying party shall defend such indemnity claim in the name of the indemnified party, if necessary by the attorneys for the indemnifying party’s insurance carrier (if such Indemnity Claim is covered by insurance), otherwise by such attorneys as the indemnifying party selects and the indemnified party approves. Notwithstanding the foregoing if counsel selected by the indemnifying party is not available to represent both parties because of a conflict of interest, after notice to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party may engage its own attorneys to defend it or to assist in its defense, and the indemnifying party shall pay all fees of such attorneys and all costs related to the defense. 8. This Agreement shall be effective upon its approval by both the Board of Supervisors and the Authority Board, and upon its execution by both the County and the Authority. 9. This Agreement shall remain and be in full force and effect until terminated by either party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Either the County or the Authority may terminate this Agreement, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party; and provided that upon any such termination, the Authority shall be and remain obligated to the County for the payment and reimbursement to the County for any services provided by the County, as provided for by this Agreement, through the date of termination. 10. As provided for in A.R.S. § 38-511, the parties may, within three (3) years after the execution of this Agreement, cancel this Agreement, without penalty(s) or further obligation, if any person significantly involved in initiating, negotiating, securing, drafting or creating this Agreement is in effect, an employee or agent of either party in any capacity or a consultant to the other party to this Agreement.
