Staff Summary (background) The Town entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Maricopa County Library District in 2001 to operate the Town of Fountain Hills Branch Library (Library). The Town entered into another IGA in August 2011 to continue operating the Library, and the collective governments have approved three amendments to extend the terms of the IGA since then. The current third amendment to the IGA expires on August 16, 2026. The Town of Fountain Hills and the Maricopa County Library District collectively prepared this fourth amendment to the 2011 IGA, which would renew the terms of the IGA for one five (5) year term commencing August 17, 2026. Arizona Revised Statutes provides municipalities with statutory authority to use Town property to house a library. Further, the Maricopa County Library District representatives seek to extend their relationship with the Town by continuing to operate the local library branch in Fountain Hills.
