RECITALS 
 
A. 
Arizona Revised Statutes ("A.R.S."), § 11-951 through§ 11-954, provide 
that public agencies may enter into intergovernmental agreements for the provision of 
services or for joint and cooperative action. 
 
B. 
Sun City is empowered by its elected board to enter into this Agreement and 
has authorized the undersigned to execute this Agreement on behalf of Sun City. 
 
C. 
Sun City has retired a 2001 Pierce fire engine that had undergone a total 
refurbishment in 2019 (the “Fire Engine”). The Fire Engine currently has approximately 
46,000 miles since the refurbishment updated the odometer.  
 
D. 
City of Glendale Field Operations – Fleet Division evaluated various factors 
of the Fire Engine, including its projected depreciation, future value, and the immediate 
need for reliable equipment at our training academy. The Parties have valued the Fire 
Engine at $50,000. This valuation accounts for operational sustainability, market 
comparisons, and any foreseeable cost implications associated with maintenance or 
upgrades. 
 
E. 
Glendale and Sun City desire to value the Fire Engine at $50,000 in 
credit in favor of Sun City, no exchange of cash, at the Glendale Regional Public Safety 
Training Center (GRPSTC) to support the funding of Sun City’s future firefighters. 
 
F. 
This arrangement for the transfer of the Fire Engine for $50,000 in credit at 
the GRPSTC was processed through the GRPSTC governance up and through the 
Executive Board for approval which was granted. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are 
incorporated herein, and the covenants and promises to set forth below, Sun City and 
Glendale hereby mutually agree as follows:
