Department of Emergency Management defines authorities and duties regarding emergency plans and programs
related to emergency services, and the Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management has
acknowledged the MCDPH as the Lead County Agency for the Health and Medical Emergency Support Function,
and the SNS Points of Dispensing ("POD") are integral to a Public Health Emergency Response; and
WHEREAS, the MCDPH has created the Office of Preparedness and Response ("OPR") to coordinate

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Delivery of SNS assets
1.1. In the event of a public health emergency, MCDPH through OPR will deliver to City of Mesa
medications, vaccinations, dispensing information or such other SNS materials as available and
may be necessary to respond to a public health emergency, under the conditions specified in this

and MCDPH is unable to supply the entire amount required for City of Mesa, MCDPH will
determine an allocation for City of Mesa based on an analysis of the current situation. Personnel,
supplies, and equipment needed to dispense to the service population, such as copy machines and
paper, furniture such as tables and chairs, and other items, will be supplied by City of Mesa.
1.4. City of Mesa agrees to dispense SNS assets using City of Mesa personnel or volunteers who have

assets only to the Authorized Recipients as specified under OPR guidelines, to distribute product
information sheets provided by OPR, to return to OPR any excess SNS assets inventory, to
provide OPR approved documentation of all dispensing, and to reconcile SNS assets received
with those dispensed and those returned to OPR. City of Mesa agrees not to charge for SNS assets
or for any of the services provided as part of the administration or dispensing of SNS assets
unless agreed upon separately in writing.
