INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 
 
BETWEEN MARICOPA COUNTY AND THE CITY OF BUCKEYE 
 
FOR COORDINATION OF ROADWAY STANDARDS 
 
RELATED TO PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS 
 
(C-64-___- __ -X-00) 
 
This Intergovernmental Agreement (Master Agreement) is between the County of 
Maricopa, a political subdivision of the State of Arizona (County), and the City of 
Buckeye, a municipal corporation (City). The County and City are collectively referred to 
as the Parties or individually as a Party. 
 
 
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION 
 
1. 
A.R.S. Section 11-251 and Sections 28-6701 et. seq. authorizes the County to lay 
out, maintain, control and manage public roads within the County. 
 
2. 
A.R.S. Sections 11-951 et. seq. authorizes public agencies to enter into 
Intergovernmental Agreements for the provision of services or for joint or 
cooperative action. 
 
3. 
A.R.S. Section 9-240 and Sections 9-276 et. seq. authorizes the City to lay out and 
establish, regulate and improve streets within the City and to enter into this 
Agreement. 
 
 
DURATION 
 
4. 
This Master Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is approved by the 
governing bodies of the Parties and remain in full force and effect until terminated 
by either Party for any reason upon furnishing the other Party with a written notice 
at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective termination date. 
 
 
BACKGROUND 
 
5. 
When private developments occur within the jurisdiction of a City, the roadways 
are generally required to be designed and constructed to meet the City’s 
Standards. Similarly, when private developments occur within the jurisdiction of a 
County, the roadways are generally required to be designed and constructed to 
meet the County’s standards.

6. 
There are instances where a development site is located in a City’s jurisdiction and 
adjacent roadways to be constructed by the developer are located in the County’s 
jurisdiction. In such cases, the adjacent roadways are normally required to meet 
County standards. However, if the City is planning to annex the adjacent roadways, 
and the City is willing to commit to the annexation within a reasonable time frame, 
it may be reasonable to consider allowing the adjacent roadways to be designed 
and constructed to City standards.

7. 
The purpose of this Master Agreement is to authorize the County Transportation 
Director (or designee) and the City Manager (or designee) to enter into Letters of

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure

ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE  
From time to time, MCDOT (Department of Transportation) (we, us or Company) may be 
required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the 
terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through the 
DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can 
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and 
Signature Disclosure (ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to 
‘I agree to use electronic records and signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the 
DocuSign system. 
 
Getting paper copies  
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available 
electronically to you by us. You will have the ability to download and print documents we send 
to you through the DocuSign system during and immediately after the signing session and, if you 
elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a limited period of time 
(usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to 
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a 
$0.00 per-page fee. You may request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the 
procedure described below. 
 
Withdrawing your consent  
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time 
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures 
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and 
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures 
electronically is described below. 
 
Consequences of changing your mind  
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the 
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to 
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, 
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such 
paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the DocuSign system to 
receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents 
from us. 
 
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of you 
inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required 
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given 
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through 
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as 
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the 
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures

address.  We do not require any other information from you to change your email address.
