AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE GREATER PHOENIX ECONOMIC COUNCIL
AND THE CITY OF GLENDALE
City Contract No. ____________
The City Council of the CITY OF GLENDALE, a municipal corporation (the “City”), has approved
participation in and support of the regional economic development program of the GREATER PHOENIX
ECONOMIC COUNCIL (“GPEC”), an Arizona non-profit corporation (collectively, the “Parties”). The purpose of
this agreement (“Agreement”) is to set forth the regional economic development program that GPEC agrees to
undertake, the support that the City agrees to provide, the respective roles of GPEC and the City and the payments of
the City to GPEC for the fiscal year July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026 (“FY2026”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the CITY and GPEC agree
as follows:
I.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF GPEC
A.
MISSION: Attract and grow quality businesses and advocate for Greater Phoenix’s competitiveness.
B.
GOALS: GPEC is guided by and strategically focused on two specific long-range goals:
1.
Marketing the region to generate qualified business/industry prospects in targeted economic
clusters.
2.
Leveraging public and private allies and resources to locate qualified prospects, improve
overall competitiveness, and sustain organizational vitality.
C.
RETENTION AND EXPANSION POLICY:
1.
GPEC’s primary role is developing the Greater Phoenix region’s market intelligence
strategy for high wage, base industry clusters in coordination with representatives of GPEC
member communities.
2.
Retention and expansion of existing businesses within GPEC member communities is
primarily a local issue.
3.
GPEC will support its member communities’ efforts to retain and expand existing
businesses through coordinating regional support and providing research on key retention
and expansion projects.
4.
GPEC will advise its member communities when an existing company contacts GPEC
regarding a retention or expansion issue, subject to any legal or contractual non-disclosure
obligations.
D.
ACTION PLAN AND BUDGET: In accordance with the Mission, Goals and Retention Policy set forth
above and subject to the availability of adequate funding, GPEC shall implement the Action Plan
and Budget adopted by GPEC's Board of Directors, a copy of which has been delivered to the City,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged. A copy of the Action Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit
A (“GPEC Action Plan”). The City shall be informed of any changes in the adopted Action Plan
which will materially affect or alter the priorities established therein. Such notification will be in
writing and will be made prior to implementation of such changes. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the City acknowledges and agrees that GPEC may, in its reasonable judgment in accordance with its
own practices and procedures, substitute, change, reschedule, cancel or defer certain events or
Page 2 of 10
activities described in the Action Plan as required by a result of changing market conditions, funding
availability, unforeseen expenses or other circumstances beyond GPEC's reasonable control. GPEC
shall solicit the input of the City on the formulation of future marketing strategies and advertisements.
The Action Plan will be revised to reflect any agreed upon changes to the Action Plan.
E.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS:
1.
Specific performance targets, established by GPEC’s Executive Committee and Board of
Directors, are attached hereto as Exhibit B (“GPEC Performance Measures”) and shall be
used to evaluate and report progress on GPEC’s implementation of the Action Plan. In the
event of changing market conditions, funding availability, unforeseen expenses or other
circumstances beyond GPEC's reasonable control, these performance targets may be revised
with the City’s prior written approval, or with the prior written approval of a majority of the
designated members of GPEC’s Economic Development Directors Team (“EDDT”). GPEC
will provide monthly reports to the City discussing in detail its progress in implementing the
Action Plan as well as reporting the numerical results for each performance measurement set
forth in Exhibit B. GPEC shall provide a copy of its annual external audit for the preceding
fiscal year to the City no later than December 31, 2025.
2.
In the case of any benchmark which is not met, GPEC will meet with the EDDT to provide
an explanation of the relevant factors and circumstances and discuss the approach to be taken
in order to achieve the target(s). Failure to meet a performance target will not, by itself,
constitute an event of default hereunder unless GPEC (i) fails to inform the City of such
event or (ii) fails to meet with EDDT to present a plan for improving its performance during
the balance of the term of the Agreement will constitute an event of default for which the
City may terminate this Agreement pursuant to paragraph IV.J. below.
II.

development efforts as follows:

information about the City within three business days after the receipt of such request;
