MARICOPA COUNTY and CITY OF SCOTTSDALE 
REGARDING MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE  
SWORN AND DETENTION  
BASIC TRAINING ACADEMY 
C-50-21-____-3-00 
 
 
This INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT (IGA) is entered into by and between MARICOPA 
COUNTY, a political subdivision of the State of Arizona on behalf of the SHERIFF’S OFFICE, 
“MCSO,” and the CITY OF SCOTTSDALE collectively referred to as the Parties.  Under A.R.S. § 
11-952, which authorizes public agencies to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements, the Parties 
enter into this IGA regarding City of Scottsdale’s participation in MCSO’s Sworn and Detention 
Basic Training Academy. 
 
Whereas MCSO conducts Sworn (Arizona Police Officers Standard Training) and Detention Officer 
Training Academies on an as-needed basis and regularly has sufficient space for additional 
participants, and whereas the SCOTTSDALE PD law enforcement and detention recruits are 
required to be formally trained in an acceptable training program and the SCOTTSDALE PD does 
not have its own Law Enforcement, detention or corrections training academy, the Parties enter 
into this IGA.

Term: 
This IGA shall have an initial term beginning July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 and is effective 
when signed by the Parties.  Following the initial term, this IGA will automatically renew for up to 
two, one-year terms unless canceled or terminated.   
 
This IGA replaces and supersedes MCSO contract C-50-19-085-3-00 also known as Contract No. 
2019-145-COS. 
 
Termination/Suspension/Cancellation:  
Except as otherwise provided herein, each party shall have the right to terminate this IGA without 
liability to the non-terminating party by hand-delivering to the non-terminating party written notice 
of termination at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of said termination or as otherwise 
agreed to by the Parties in writing.  The Parties agree that any such termination shall not become 
effective with respect to the current recruits then enrolled in a training rotation until the recruits’

2 
 
training is completed, provided that MCSO continues to have sufficient staffing and other resources 
to continue the training until that date. 
Either party has the right to terminate this IGA upon twenty-four (24) hour notice when it is deemed 
the health or welfare of the service recipients is endangered. 
 
If this IGA is terminated prior to expiration of its stated term, any funds advanced shall be refunded 
within ten days after the effective date of such early termination; however, there shall be no 
obligation to refund any monies representing registration for participants who have attended the 
first day of training. 
 
Termination or suspension of this IGA by either party shall not terminate or otherwise affect the 
obligations of the parties to provide indemnification and to maintain and permit inspection of records 
as provided herein. 
 
Every payment obligation of each party under this agreement is conditioned upon the availability of 
funds appropriated or allocated for the payment of such obligation. If funds are not allocated and 
available for the continuance of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either party 
at the end of the period for which funds are available.  No liability shall accrue to either party in the 
event this provision is exercised, and the parties shall not be obligated or liable for any future 
payments or for any damages as a result of termination under this paragraph. 
 
Mutual Indemnification 
Each Party (as "indemnitor") agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party (as 
"indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, costs, or expenses (including 
reasonable attorney's fees) (hereinafter collectively referred to as "claims") arising out of the 
negligent performance of this IGA, but only to the extent that such claims which result in 
vicarious/derivative liability to the indemnitee are caused by the act, omission, negligence, 
misconduct, or other fault of the indemnitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers. 
 
Independent Contractors 
This IGA is not intended to constitute, create, give rise to, or otherwise recognize a joint venture 
agreement, partnership or other formal business association or organization of any kind, and the 
rights and obligations of the parties shall be only those expressly set forth in this IGA. 
 
Parties acknowledge that under this IGA no employee or participant of the SCOTTSDALE PD is to 
be considered a County employee, and that no rights of County merit, County retirement, or County 
personnel rules shall accrue to such individual. SCOTTSDALE PD shall have total responsibility 
for all salaries, wages, bonuses, retirement, withholdings, workman's compensation, occupational 
disease compensation, unemployment compensation, other employee benefits, and all taxes and 
premiums appurtenant thereto concerning such individuals and shall save and hold MCSO  
harmless with respect thereto.

Superior Court unless otherwise agreed to between the Parties. The parties to this Agreement
