Adopt Resolution No. 13607 authorizing Contract No. 2021-023-COS-A4.
Resolution No. 13607 authorizes Contract No. 2021-023-COS-A4 with the.Scottsdale Unified 
School District No. 48 (SUSD j. This fourth amendment to the intergovernmental agreement 
extends the term through June 30,2027.
BACKGROUND
In March 2021, the City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) (Contract No. 
2021-023- COS) authorizing the City Auditor to conduct a specific audit for SUSD. This IGA also 
provided possible future additional audits though contract amendments.
Since.2021, the City Auditor’s Office bas conducted a total of four audits under the IGA. The City 
Council and the SUSD Governing Board have approved three amendments for additional audits. 
Each amendment describes the scope of work and estimated reimbursement amount to the city.
While no audits are currently planned, the existing IGA has a five-year term,expiring March 16'^ 
2026. SUSD wishes to continue the partnership with the City and extend the existing IGA through 
June 30,2027. This will allow time for the development of a new IGA, as well as the possibility of 
requesting additional audit services. Any additional audit services would be outlined in a separate 
amendment, includingthe reimbursement amount forthe requested services.
At its February 10'^ meeting, the SUSD Governing Board voted to approve this term extension to the 
intergovernmental agreement With the City of Scottsdale.
IMPACT ANALYSIS
Policy Implications
The intergovernmental agreement and this proposed contract amendment are consistent with the City 
Council’s goal of partnering with other jurisdictions, particularly with the school districts.
Staffing, Workload Impact
Currently, there are no planned audits. Approving this IGA extension would allow audit services to 
be requested in the future. Should an audit be requested, the City Auditor will evaluate the
Action Taken .

services. This cost recovery will be deposited to the city’s General Fund, which funds the office.
