AMENDMENT
TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT 
FOR JURY SERVICES 
On or about June 12, 2024, the City of Tolleson, City of  Tolleson Municipal Court, and 
the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County entered into an intergovernmental agreement for Jury 
Services (“IGA”).  The initial term of the agreement is through June 30, 2026.
The City of Tolleson Municipal Court and the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County agreed to 
amend paragraph 6 of the IGA as follows, with the additional term in capital letters: 
If the City of Tolleson Municipal Court requires any virtual private network (VPN) services (also 
known as RAS accounts), the City of Tolleson Municipal Court shall be charged a set up charge of 
$50.00 per user, and a monthly charge of $8.00 per user.  The fee for services rendered by Superior Court 
to the City of Tolleson Municipal Court shall be payable on or after July 1st, within 30 days of receipt of 
billing, for services rendered during the previous 12-month period. Each party will establish and maintain 
its own budget according to its established rules and procedures. 
This Amendment renews the Jury Services IGA for the City of Tolleson  Municipal Court for an 
additional two-year term, from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, with the terms and conditions of 
the IGA entered on or about June 12, 2024.
Also in accordance with Paragraph 4 of the IGA, the Superior Court may increase the cost 
per summons at the time of renewal to reflect an increase in actual costs. Effective July 1, 2027, the 
cost per summons will be $4.35. All other costs shall remain the same. 
All other provisions of the IGA shall remain in their entirety.
In witness whereof, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment on the date written below:
