Request to Town Council Regular Meeting (Agenda Language) 
CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Approving Resolution 2026-03,an 
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Flood Control District of Maricopa County 
(FCDMC), to accept grant funds for the completed design and construction of drainage 
improvements at Love Court. 
 
Staff Summary (background) 
Project Background and Purpose 
The Love Court Drainage Improvements Project, located within the Courtside Villas 
development, was initiated to address deficiencies in an existing stormwater system. 
Specifically, approximately 130 linear feet of 24-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) had 
reached the end of its service life and required rehabilitation to maintain system functionality 
and reduce the risk of failure. 
Project Scope 
The project scope included the removal and replacement of an existing catch basin, 
installation of a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner within the existing storm drain pipe, and 
construction of a temporary access road to facilitate construction activities. 
Design and Construction 
Design of the project was completed in March 2025. Following a public bidding process, 
construction was completed in June 2025. 
Funding and Grant Reimbursement 
In March 2025, Town staff submitted an application to the Flood Control District of Maricopa 
County (FCDMC) under its Small Project Assistance Program, seeking grant funding to offset 
design and construction costs. 
Although the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) reflects a total project cost of $145,000 
based on the estimate at the time of the original application, it authorizes reimbursement 
based on actual project costs. The final project cost was $155,849.12, which was fully funded 
by the Town in Fiscal Year 2025. The Town’s grant application was subsequently approved 
by FCDMC, with the program providing reimbursement of 75% of the final project cost, 
totaling $116,886.84. The Town’s remaining share of the project cost is $38,962.28. 
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) 
Approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with FCDMC will authorize the Town 
to accept reimbursement funds based on the actual project cost, in the amount of $116,886.84.

Upon receipt, these funds will be returned to the Town’s General Fund. 
A summary of the FCDMC Grant and Town share for this project is summarized below:

FCDMC Funds @ 75%                $8,910
