Adopt Resolution No. 13674 authorizing:
• Contract No. 2026-074-COS, an Intergovernmental Agreement for Fire Service Training 
between the City of Scottsdale and the Town of Fountain Hills.
BACKGROUND
The Scottsdale Fire Department (SFD) desires to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) 
with the Town of Fountain Hills for the purpose of enabling joint training and to allow their firefighter 
recruits to attend the Scottsdale Fire Academy. Training opportunities under the IGA include, but are 
not limited to, recruit and in-service academy training, and specialty schools for both sworn and 
civilian personnel. Joint training exercises will help increase the capabilities of both agencies through 
increased inter-operability in automatic aid situations, thereby increasing public safety for both 
communities.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT 
Recent Staff Action
SFD staff have reviewed the IGA and believe they will be beneficial to the City of Scottsdale. They 
will allow for academy attendance for new fire recruits, specialty schools, and enable the 
participating agency to conduct training together with SFD, thereby increasing the capabilities of aii 
agencies through increased inter-operability in automatic aid situations and increasing public safety 
for both communities.
RESOURCE IMPACTS 
Available funding
SFD does not anticipate that the iGA or the participation of other agencies at the Scottsdale Fire 
Academy will result in any additional costs to the City because the participating agency will pay for 
the costs associated with training their recruits.
The City of Scottsdale will receive an amount not to exceed $5,000 for each firefighter recruit from 
another agency that attends the Scottsdale Fire Academy. A more detailed Fire Service Training 
Menu that outlines the costs for all trainings is attached to the IGA as Exhibit A. The current costs 
per recruit may be adjusted in the future at the discretion of the Scottsdale Fire Chief based on 
outside department contributions to the academy through the provision of non-monetary resources 
such as facilities, equipment, and personnel.
