Background Through an Intergovernmental Agreement, the City of Mesa and the City of Apache Junction agree to conduct joint law enforcement training by designated law enforcement personnel. The Agreement allows either party to be the host for training. Discussion The City of Mesa Police Department and the City of Apache Junction have identified instances where joint law enforcement training would be advantageous. The Agreement allows for the training at either location and allows the host agency to be compensated for the training as mutually agreed upon. Alternatives Decline the Intergovernmental Agreement. If this proposal is not supported, the current policies and practices of the Department shall be followed regarding training. Fiscal Impact The Host Agency is responsible for the costs associated with the training; however, the Host Agency may specify the required equipment and materials that the Non-Host Agency will need to supply. If a Host Agency requires a fee to participate in its training, the Parties shall agree upon a reasonable fee. The Agreement allows the Parties to waive fees whole or in part. Coordinated With The City of Mesa Police Department recommends the approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Apache Junction.
