f. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County Regulation shall be grounds for initiating a
revocation of this special use permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
g. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,
with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy
uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject
to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the time of
expiration of the special use permit, the property shall revert to the zoning that existed on
the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that either revocation due to
the failure to comply with any conditions, or the expiration of the special use permit, does not
reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the
property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held
on the date of application due to such revocation or expiration of the special use permit. The
special use permit enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the
special use permit is granted and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of
the property as if the special use permit had never been granted.

g. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant,
with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property to enjoy
uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, subject
to conditions. In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property shall revert
to the zoning that existed on the date of application. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed
that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, does not reduce any
rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell or possess the property and
that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date
of application due to such revocation of the zone change with overlay. The zone change
enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the zone change is granted
and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the zone
change had never been granted.

DEANNEXATION FROM THE CITY OF PHOENIX ORDINANCE NO. S-49903 TO
MARICOPA COUNTY
Pursuant to A.R.S. § 9-471.03 convene the scheduled public hearing regarding the de-
annexing road right-of-way from City of Phoenix jurisdiction to Maricopa County.
Right-of-way location: NW Cor Broadway RD and 67th AVE, APN: 104-55-856. Supervisory
District No.5.
The Board of Supervisors determined at a public hearing on December 6, 2023, that such
action would be in the public interest and has complied with the additional requirements of
A.R.S. § 9-471.03.
If approved, the Board of Supervisors:
1. Orders that the public right-of-way be returned as specified in City of Phoenix Ordinance
No. S-49903, returning the public right-of-way to Maricopa County.
2. Pursuant to ARS § 9-471.02, directs the Clerk of the Board to notify the City of Phoenix
that the Board of Supervisors order regarding the de-annexation of the public right-of-way
was approved, and
3. Directs the Clerk of the Board to certify a copy of the order of the Board and file it for
record in the Office of the County Recorder.
Legal description of the roadway being de-annexed, identified as [Exhibit "A"], is attached.
MCDOT Analysis: The existing roadway is owned/operated/maintained by MCDOT. The
property adjacent to the western right-of-way is developing requiring roadway and
intersection improvements. These improvements require deannexation to accommodate full
with of an arterial roadway and full maintenance and operation of the intersection. This action
will ensure the roadway is fully within unincorporated Maricopa County and reduce conflict
of liability. The roadway improvements are a necessary improvement to the traveling public.
Financial Status: Cost of the roadway(s) development falls to the developer with no initial
cost to Maricopa County. Cost of maintenance moving forward is typical of roadway
maintenance cost and will be the responsibility of Maricopa County. The cost of roadway
maintenance provides a benefit to the traveling public.
The Board action will result to add 0.004 square miles of right of way to County ownership
and enable the County to assume responsibility for road maintenance.

PERMANENT ADDITION TO THE FLEET
Approve a permanent addition to the fleet of one Ford Explorer Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV)
to be used by the Judicial Branch Security Department (JBSD). As the number off-campus
events attended by the Bench and Senior Court Administrators has continued to increase,
JBSD has a need for an additional vehicle. Sufficient funding has been identified to purchase
the required vehicle.
The estimated cost is $55,000.00 which includes taxes and onboarding costs.
As a permanent addition to the County vehicle fleet, the Judicial Branch is requesting that
future replacements be addressed by County Equipment Services through established
policies and procedures.
Each off-campus event requires the use of two (2) County vehicles to carry security
equipment/safety tools such as TASERs, AED, shelter-in-place kits, radios and other
equipment. Also, the vehicles are always pre-staged for emergency egress from the site, if
shelter-in-place is not available. For these reasons, it is critical to have Security Officers
attend off-campus events in official Branch vehicles, and we’ve struggled to accommodate
this with our existing fleet.

provided for differentials in the first quarter.

REPURPOSING OF NON-RECURRING FUNDING
Request approval to reappropriate funding within the Judicial Branch FY 2024 budget for the
following non-recurring projects:
Modify the purpose for the existing Adult Probation (D110), General Fund (100), Non-
Recurring (NRNP) budget from “Probation Service Center Staff Relocation to SE Facility” to
“Adult Probation Facilities Projects” and authorize Adult Probation to use the funding to
address tenant improvements and relocation needs associated with the Northport,
Sunnyslope, and South Court Tower locations.
Modify the purpose for the existing Superior Court (D800), General Fund (100), Non-
Recurring (NRNP) budget from “Security Equipment” to “Evidence Presentation Equipment
and Implementation” and authorize the Superior Court to use the funding to acquire the
goods and services needed to successfully implement the evidence presentation system that
has been selected by the State of Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts.
This request has no budget impact, and no additional funding is being requested at this time.
A portion of the $500,000 funding provided for the for the Probation Service Center relocation
to SEF is not required for that effort. Adult Probation has a time-sensitive and critical need
to vacate space at the Northport location, which will require a tenant improvement at the
Sunnyslope location. The tenant improvement is intended to create “hoteling space” to allow
a larger number of Probation Officers to share space at that location. Additionally, Adult
Probation needs to modify space at the South Court Tower to accommodate business needs
at that location.
The $707,000 non-recurring funding for Security Equipment is not needed for that purpose
at this time. However, the Court has a critical and time-sensitive need for computer
equipment and implementation-related costs to be able to effectively utilize the evidence
presentation system that is being implemented for statewide use by the Administrative Office
of the Courts.

SUPERIOR COURT ADMINISTRATION GRANTS FOR FY2024
Accept the FY 2024 grants and associated revenue for Superior Court Administration of the
Judicial Branch in the amount of $5,872,114.00. The indirect cost rate as of July 2023 is
77.73% as approved by the Department of Finance. Some of the grants for FY 2024 do not
allow indirect cost recovery as reflected in the funding agreements filed with the Department
of Finance. The status of indirect costs for each grant is on file in the office of the Clerk of
the Board in accordance with ASLAPR retention policy. The amount of indirect costs on
eligible expenditures are estimated to be $4,311,046.49 with $3,678,629.11 as
unrecoverable and $632,417.38 as recoverable. Total matching amount is $395,129.00.
Also, pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17106, approve appropriation adjustments resulting in a net
decrease to revenues and expenditures of $360,274 in the FY 2024 Superior Court (D800)
Superior Court Grants Fund (238) Operating (OPER) budget. Approval of this item will result
in an overall appropriation of $5,872,114 for revenues and expenditures in the Superior Court
(D800) Superior Court Grants Fund (238) Operating (OPER) budget.
Also, approve appropriation adjustments resulting in a net increase to expenditures of
$2,179,054 in the FY 2024 Superior Court Department (D800) Superior Court Grants Fund

appropriation of $2,769,738 for expenditures in the Superior Court Department (D800)
Superior Court Grants Fund (238) Non Recurring (NRNP) budget.
Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure
limitation and, therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget
law. This request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues
adopted by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17105.
The agenda item includes reoccurring and non-reoccurring grants. Future ongoing
contributions may or may not be required after the grant award periods end. Grant awards
fulfill judicial mandated services. Grant awards are competitively and non-competitively bid.
The total cost the department’s operating budget will absorb is $0.00.

FIREPLACE RETROFIT PROGRAM EXPANSION
Authorization to expand the boundaries for the Maricopa County Fireplace Replacement
Program (MCFRP). This program provides up to $2,000 per household to install natural gas
log sets in existing fireplaces, in homes within the program boundaries that are already
plumbed for natural gas. Reducing the number of homes with woodburning fireplaces will
reduce emissions of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that can have a harmful impact on the
health of residents.
The current program boundaries are 59th Avenue, Baseline Road, 16th Street, and Northern
Avenue. The expanded program boundaries will be the 67th Avenue alignment (from Dunlap
Avenue to Carver Road); Carver Road (from the 67th Avenue alignment to the northern edge

The Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) requests approval to withdraw Rule
230 from the December 20, 2019 NSR SIP Submittal.
On December 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted revisions to seven MCAQD NSR
permitting program rules, including Rule 230, and approved submittal of the revised rules as
a revision to the Arizona SIP. On February 15, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) approved all of the rules into the Arizona SIP except Rule 230. At that time,
the EPA deferred action on Rule 230.
To date, the EPA has not taken final action on Rule 230; however, due to a recent lawsuit,
the EPA has been compelled to take action on the rule. The EPA has informed MCAQD Rule
230 contains deficiencies and cannot be approved in its current form and has recommended
MCAQD withdraw Rule 230 from the NSR SIP submittal to correct the deficiencies and then
resubmit the rule for approval. MCAQD plans to address the rule deficiencies in a future
rulemaking and resubmit the revised rule for approval into the Arizona SIP.

Approve a financial Intergovernmental Agreement (Agreement) between the City of El
Mirage (City) and Maricopa County (County), administered by its Human Services
Department. The City and the County are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”.
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a collaboration between the Parties focused
on a strategy to reduce homelessness in the west valley communities, including the Agua
Fria Wash, through the County’s “Hand in Hand” program (the Program). The City of El
Mirage, Sun City, Sun City West, Waddell, Wittmann, Town of Youngtown and City of
Surprise (Subregional Partners) are committed to provide outreach teams with needed
resources to assist individuals who are unsheltered to get connected to needed services and
ultimately transition into permanent housing. Outreach will include a versatile combination of
case management, coordination with municipal entities and connection to services such as
workforce programs, mental health care and substance use support. Through a sustained
targeted effort, this partnership endeavors to reduce local street homelessness in the areas
as measured by the Point in Time count.
The Agreement is effective January 1, 2024, through June 30, 2024, and may be extended
upon acceptance and approval by the Parties.
