Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Act”), provides for the incorporation in the
State of Arizona of industrial development authorities; and
Whereas, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, and with the permission of
the Board of Supervisors of the County (the “Board of Supervisors”) as evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County adopted November 5, 1973, the
Authority was incorporated in Arizona on December 5, 1973, as a nonprofit corporation,
designated by law as a political subdivision of the State of Arizona; and
Whereas, under the Act, the Board of Supervisors is designated as the
governing body of the Authority and the Act provides that the directors of the Authority
shall be elected by the governing body and the proceedings under which bonds are to
be issued by the Authority require the approval of the governing body; and
Whereas, the Authority is an active issuer of bonds, the proceeds of which
are used to finance “projects” as such term is defined in the Act; the Authority conducts
a considerable amount of business, as permitted by the Act, and such business requires
the Board of Directors of the Authority (the “Authority Board”) to devote a portion of its
time and effort to directing and supervising the business and affairs of the Authority; and
the Authority Board utilizes a variety of service providers to provide legal, accounting,
auditing, public relations and financing advisory services to the Authority; and
Whereas, the Authority Board has determined that it is in the best interests
of the Authority to establish the position of Executive Director of the Authority and to
engage the services of an individual to serve as Executive Director, such person to be
responsible for the day-to-day management and administration of the Authority’s
business and affairs, under the supervision and direction of the Authority Board, with the

the Authority Board; and
Whereas, the County, acting through the Board of Supervisors, is willing to
provide to the Authority, the services of Shelby L. 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

relating to the business and affairs of the Authority that require attention and action

Authority or as authorized from time to time by the Authority Board.

and expenses it advances or incurs for copying, delivery charges, special handling,

whatsoever from claims of third parties, arising out of or relating to the activities of the
Authority or the duties of the County, its officers, employees or agents relating to the
services to be provided to the Authority pursuant to this Agreement (such claims shall
be collectively referred to herein as an “Indemnity Claim”).

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

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,
