Pursuant to A.R.S. §§ 11-201;11-251(57)-(58), and for valuable consideration received, the Maricopa
County Board of Supervisors (BOS) conveys to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Affiliate,
four internet domain names, licensed and registered to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office (the
Office). These domain names are: www.DrugFreeAZ.com, www.DrugFreeAZ.org, www.DrugFreeAZ.net,
and www.DrugFreeAZ.us, and are valued at approximately $280.00. Further, authorize the Chairman to
sign any necessary documents to accomplish the conveyance of the above-mentioned domain names to
the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Affiliate.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, Arizona Affiliate shall pay no less than $100.00 and agrees to
promote a drug prevention strategy by continuing to use these internet domain names in furtherance of
their drug prevention and awareness mission.
Board Required Information:
The Office currently owns the registration to four internet domain names: www.DrugFreeAZ.com,
www.DrugFreeAZ.org, www.DrugFreeAZ.net, and www.DrugFreeAZ.us. These domain names have been
used to administer websites aimed at increasing public awareness within Maricopa County of the
dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. During the past four years, the Office combined several stand-alone
websites into one thus making the four internet domain names listed above superfluous to the Office’s
crime prevention strategy. The Partnership for a Drug Free America, Arizona Affiliate, is a not-for-profit
organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the U. S. Internal Revenue Service Code. They operate in Arizona
providing statewide drug prevention and awareness messages. It is in the best interest of Maricopa
County that this organization utilize these internet domain names to promote drug prevention in the
county.
The Board of Supervisors is authorized under statute, specifically A.R.S. § 11-251(57)-(58), to sell
intellectual property at less than fair market value to another governmental entity or benevolent non-
profit organization. Such a conveyance does not violate the Arizona Constitution’s gift clause, A.R.S.
Const. Art. 9, § 7, as long as Maricopa County receives due consideration. This conveyance constitutes a
public purpose and the Partnership for Drug Free America, Arizona Affiliate, will provide consideration
of an amount no less than $100 and agrees to promote a drug prevention strategy using these internet
domain names, for the benefit of Maricopa County’s citizenry.
THIS ITEM REQUIRES UNANIMOUS CONSENT OF THE BOARD.
