ACTION
Adopt Resolution No. 13722 authorizing Amendment #1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement No. 
2025-122-COS between the City of Scottsdale and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community 
(SRPMIC) for the purpose of providing prisoner transports to the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian 
Community Police Department.
BACKGROUND
The Scottsdale Police Department (SPD) conducts prisoner transports via shuttle van, (prisoner 
transport) to the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office Intake, Transfer & Release Facility (MCSO ITR) in 
Phoenix for booking. The prisoner transports are conducted on a constant basis and are staffed by 
SPD detention officers, thus alleviating the need to pull Scottsdale police officers out of the field to 
transport prisoners to MCSO. SPD’s prisoner transport generally has capacity for additional 
passengers.
The City of Scottsdale City Council approved Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) No. 2025r122-COS 
on October 21, 2025 to provide prisoner transport for Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s 
Police Department (SRPD). Prior to this agreement, SRPD staff transported individuals as they were 
arrested to the MCSO ITR Facility. SRPD’s staff spent several hours at the MCSO ITR Facility for 
processing and booking, which left their areas of service vacant for long periods of time.
The Intergovernmental Agreement No. 2025-122^COS is valid through July 1,2026. This short initial 
term allowed SPD to begin providing prisoner transport services to SRPD this fiscal year with the 
intention that a new 5-year IGA would be proposed for July 1, 2026 through July 1, 2031. This would 
synchronize the SRPD IGA renewal period with a similar prisoner transport IGA that is in place with 
the Paradise Valley Police Department.
The proposed Amendment #1 (2025-122-COS-A1) between SRPD and Scottsdale would continue to 
benefit SRPD and enhance public safety in both communities by allowing SRPD police officers to 
remain in the field through the utilization of SPD prisoner transports.
ANALYSIS & ASSESSMENT
The proposed amendment to the IGA will be beneficial as it will continue to enhance public safety in 
both communities by allowing SRPD police officers to remain in the field as criminal activity often 
crosses borders. The agreement includes a minimum of 260 prisoner transports in year 1 of the 
agreement with a fiat fee of $94,296, minus a one-time credit of $44,972 for unused transports from 
FY 2025/2026. Years 2 through 5 of the agreement allow a minimum of 225 prisoner transports each

fiscal year at an annual flat fee of $81,602. Prisoner transports beyond 225 will be reimbursed at a 
rate of $362.68 per transport and no credits for unused transports will be issued after Year 1. Collected 
revenues are deposited into the city's General Fund.
Additionally, there is language within the agreement with SRPD that stipulates that SPD reserves the 
right to refuse transports for either planned or unplanned operational reasons. In any event that SPD 
is not able to transport prisoners, SPD will notify SRPD as soon as possible if unplanned issues arise 
and within one week if there is a planned operational reason for inability to transport prisoners.
This is a five-year agreement, at which point both parties will reassess the agreement.
RESOURCE IMPACTS 
Available Funding
The detention officers assigned to this agreement are all budgeted general fund positions. The 
estimated additional overtime incurred because of this agreement is expected to be minimal, and the 
department has sufficient budget capacity to absorb any additional costs. Under the Amendment, 
SRPD will pay Scottsdale a flat fee of $49,324 in Year 1 for a minimum of 260 transports and $81,602 
in Years 2 through 5 for a minimum of 225 prisoner transports per year. Prisoner transports beyond 
the stated minimum will be reimbursed at a rate of $362.68 per transport.
Staffing, Workload Impact
Given that transport minimums are not increasing under this amendment, workloads are not 
anticipated to further increase from current levels under the existing agreement. Additionally, SPD’s 
prisoner transports generally have capacity for additional passengers. SPD will continue to monitor its 
capacity to manage both Scottsdale’s required prisoner transports and the 225 or more additional 
transports annually for SRPD. As stated, SPD reserves the right to not transport prisoners.
OPTIONS & STAFF RECOMMENDATION 
Recommended Approach
Staff recommend that the City Council approve Amendment #1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement 
No. 2025-122-COS-A1.
Proposed Next Steps
If Resolution No. 13722 is approved, the City will continue to provide prisoner transports for SRPD. If 
Resolution No. 13722 is not approved, the City will cease to provide prisoner transports for SRPD on 
July 1,2026.
