GRANT-IN-AID AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE TOHONO O’ODHAM NATION
AND 
MARICOPA COUNTY, AZ
THIS GRANT-IN-AID AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is between the Tohono O’odham 
Nation, a federally recognized Indian tribe (the “Nation”), and the COUNTY of Maricopa, AZ, a 
political subdivision of the State of Arizona (“COUNTY”).
RECITALS
The Nation desires to convey to COUNTY a portion of its annual 12% local revenue-
sharing contribution (“Contribution”) to be used by COUNTY and COUNTY recipients for 
services that benefit the general public.
The Constitution of the Tohono O’odham Nation, Article VI, Section 1(f) provides that the 
Tohono O’odham Legislative Council is authorized to negotiate and conclude agreements on 
behalf of the Nation with Federal, State, and local governments.
The Constitution of the Tohono O’odham Nation Article VII, Section 2(f) provides that the 
Chairman of the Nation is the official representative of the Nation; and as such, upon passage of a 
Resolution by the Legislative Council approving of any agreement with Federal, State, and local 
governments, the Chairman is authorized to sign such agreements on behalf of the Nation.
Under A.R.S. § 5-601.02(H)(4), COUNTY may receive monies from the Nation for 
services identified by the Nation that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation 
of gaming impacts, and promotion of commerce and economic development.
COUNTY is authorized by A.R.S. § 11-951 through § 11-954 to enter into agreements for 
joint or cooperative actions with public agencies.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the parties 
hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Purpose.  The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the rights and responsibilities of 
the parties with respect to the payment and distribution of the Contribution, as hereinafter 
defined. 
2. Contribution. On execution of this Agreement, the Nation will issue payment to the 
COUNTY in the amount described in Schedule A (the “Contribution”) for the purpose(s) 
detailed in Schedule A. COUNTY will distribute funds directly to the recipients 
(“Recipients”) listed in Schedule A.

3. Disbursement of Contribution.
a. Disbursing Contribution and Recordkeeping. COUNTY is responsible for 
disbursing the Contribution consistent with this Agreement. Within a reasonable 
time following receipt of the Contribution from the Nation, COUNTY shall 
distribute the Contribution per COUNTY policies and procedures governing the 
disbursement of these funds. COUNTY shall keep and maintain records relating to 
the disbursements and this Agreement.
b. Post-Disbursement Responsibilities. When applicable, the parties agree that 
COUNTY will be acting as a conduit for distribution of the Contribution to the 
Recipient. Upon distribution of the Contribution to the Recipients as identified in 
Section 2 of this Agreement, the COUNTY shall have no further responsibility to 
the Nation with respect to such funds or the use thereof by the Recipients. 
Therefore, upon the COUNTY’s disbursement of the Contribution to a Recipient 
as provided in Section 2, the Nation shall release the COUNTY from any and all 
claims, demands, debts, liabilities, or obligations that may arise in the event that a 
Recipient fails to expend the Contribution in accord with Section 2. The Nation 
further agrees that the COUNTY shall have no obligation to reimburse the Nation 
the amount of the Contribution after the COUNTY disburses the Contribution to a 
Recipient and that the Nation shall look solely to the Recipient for repayment of 
the Contribution if the Contribution is not used for the intended purposes.
4. Term and Termination.
a. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective when all parties have 
signed. The date this Agreement is signed by the last party, as indicated by the date 
associated with the party’s signature, shall be deemed the Effective Date.
b. Term. This Agreement shall commence upon the Effective Date and will continue 
for twelve (12) months unless terminated earlier (“End Date”). The Nation, in its 
discretion, may approve in writing any request by the COUNTY for a no-cost 
extension, including amending the End Date and adjusting any affected reporting 
requirements.
c.
Termination by Nation. The Nation may terminate this Agreement with or without 
cause at any time by providing COUNTY fifteen (15) days advance notice in 
writing. If the Nation terminates this Agreement after COUNTY receives the 
Contribution but before COUNTY disbursed the Contribution in accord with 
Section 2, the Nation shall include in the notice of termination specific instructions 
regarding disposition of the Contribution.
d. Termination by COUNTY. All parties acknowledge that this Agreement may be 
subject to cancellation by COUNTY per A.R.S. § 38-511.
5. Money Unclaimed.  If COUNTY fails to accept the Contribution on or before June 30, 
2024, this Agreement will be deemed to have been terminated by COUNTY and the Nation 
will award the Agreement Contribution to another local government entity.
6. Monitoring, Review, and Audit. The Nation may monitor and review the Recipients’ use 
of their portions of the Contribution as well as the Recipients’ performance of the projects

funded thereunder, and their compliance with this Agreement, which may include onsite 
visits to assess the Recipients’ governance, management and operations, to discuss the 
Recipient’s programming  and finances, and review relevant financial and other records 
and materials related to the Recipient’s use of their portion of the Contribution. In addition, 
the Nation may conduct audits, including onsite audits, at any time during the term of this 
Agreement, and within three years after the Contribution has been fully spent by the 
Recipients. Any onsite visit or audit shall be conducted at the Nation’s expense, following 
prior written notice, during normal business hours, and no more than once during any 
twelve (12) month period. 
7. Dispute Resolution.  The parties mutually agree that any disputes arising pursuant to this 
Agreement shall be resolved through informal dispute resolution.  For all disputes arising 
under this Agreement the Nation and COUNTY shall first attempt to negotiate a resolution.  
All disputes that cannot be resolved through informal dispute resolution shall be resolved 
in the Courts of the Nation, subject to the laws of the Nation.

Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed received at the time it is personally
