INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF GLENDALE
AND
THE CITY OF SEDONA

THIS INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (the “Agreement” or “IGA”) is
entered into this 28th day of June, 2022, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) §11-
952, between the City of Glendale ("GLENDALE") acting by and through its city council

that specific city and town. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide GLENDALE the
mechanism to allow other cities and towns to cooperatively use the GLENDALE hosted and
developed GLENDALE TAX APPLICATION ("TAX APP") to access and interact with

the Statewide Tax data supplied by DOR.

6. Outages due to scheduled or emergency network, software and/or hardware
