8. HEARING REGARDING OVEREXPENDITURE REQUEST BY SADDLE MOUNTAIN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT #90 FOR FY 2007-08 Conduct a hearing to determine whether to approve the petition from the School Governing Board of the Saddle Mountain Unified School District #90 requesting the authority to incur liabilities in excess of the budget pursuant to A.R.S. §15-907 in the amount of $31,357.43. These legal fees were not originally accounted for in the school district’s budget for FY 2007-08 as they were unexpectedly incurred due to unique circumstances, which exist at the school district. The School Governing Board of the Saddle Mountain Unified School District #90 has petitioned Maricopa County Superintendent of Schools (MCSOS) to forward their petition with MCSOS recommendations to Maricopa County’s Board of Supervisors requesting the authority to incur liabilities in excess of the budget pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-907. These unexpected legal fees were incurred in FY 2007-08 due to numerous items related to receivership, resignation of the superintendent, inter-governmental agreement with Palo Verde Elementary District, unemployment claims, governing board recall election, litigation with a construction contractor, and litigation by a former employee, among others. Also, these expenditures are not considered normal recurring costs for legal fees of a school district and have been incurred due to the unique circumstance, which exist at the district. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools to the Board of Supervisors for Maricopa County to approve the authority to incur liabilities in excess of the budget for FY 2007-08 pursuant to A.R.S. § 15-907.

9. EXCEPTION TO THE TECHNOLOGY FINANCE PROGRAM Approve an exception to the Technology Finance Program (TFP) to allow the Clerk of the Superior Court (160) to purchase six servers with required software and peripheral equipment outright with one-time FY 2008-09 savings in the Clerk of the Superior Court's Judicial Collection Enhancement Fund (208) operating budget (0000). The hardware and software will be used to enhance the capacity, flexibility, and availability of the production servers hosting the primary applications and databases of the Clerk's Office. The current production server system in the Clerk's Office is not configured or configurable to support an environment of load balancing or high availability that new WEB applications require. The new Cash Receipting application has need of several servers to afford load balancing, easy expansion, fail-over capacity, and is required to run on SQL 2005 versus the existing SQL 2000 database server. With the current WEB server limitations and the need for Hot Site redundancy, additional server capacity is necessary for the mission critical Cash Receipting application. The purchase of the SQL 2005 database servers and blade servers will provide increased capacity and flexibility to handle several new applications and provide the necessary server flexibility and redundancy.

22. GRANT FROM STATE JUSTICE INSTITUTE FOR STUDY OF CASE FLOW MANAGEMENT IN CHILD MALTREATMENT CASES Accept a FY 2008-09 grant and associated revenue from the State Justice Institute (SJI) for the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County (Court) in the amount of $29,990. The Court will provide an in-kind match of General Fund (100) amount of $12,000 and a cash match of Superior Court Special Revenue Fund (259) amount of $3,000 which the department will absorb in the FY 2008-09 expenditure appropriation. These funds will be used to conduct a study on the case flow management of child maltreatment cases. The grant will cover the cost associated with professional consultants for the study. The indirect costs (based upon a rate of 38.6% certified by the Dept. of Finance) of $11,576 are not fully recoverable from the funding, as the grant does not allow for indirect cost recovery. The term of the grant will be from January 1, 2009 through July 1, 2009. With funding from the State Justice Institute (SJI), the Court, through the office of the Court Administrator, would contract with the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) to conduct a study of Caseflow and case management in child maltreatment cases. The National Center is uniquely qualified to provide this technical assistance given its 35 year history of working with state and local court systems on an array of issues, its familiarity with the Maricopa County court system through numerous projects over the years, and the expertise and experience of its professional staff of consultants.

24. EXEMPTION TO THE POST EMPLOYMENT (RETIREMENT) HEALTH PLAN ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (RHEP/PEHP) Approve an exemption to the Post Employment (Retirement) Health Plan Enhancement Program (RHEP), approved by the Board on March 16, 2009 and allow Attorney–Capital Lead Counsel position 00019588 to remain an active position in the Office of the Legal Advocate. The Office of the Legal Advocate requests an exemption to the RHEP requirement that positions vacated as a result of program participation be inactivated. Also, approve an exemption to the RHEP to allow the Office of the Legal Advocate to utilize the full hiring range to place the attorney selected to fill position 00019588 at the appropriately mapped rate. The potential range for the position is $42.26/Hour to $64.15/Hour, based on the hiring range for Attorney-Senior positions with the additional Special Management Assignment pay associated with the lead capital attorney role ($17,500/yr). Position 00019588, in the Office of the Legal Advocate, will be vacated as a result of the current employee’s participation in the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. The position attributes are as follows: MRT: ATTORNEY – CAPITAL LEAD COUNSEL Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $61.15 Legal representation is mandated for defendants charged in felony cases, including capital murder cases. Therefore, any cases that would have previously been handled by the retiring attorney in the Office of the Legal Advocate will have to be assigned somewhere in Indigent Representation. The other two staffed offices handling capital cases are already operating at capacity. Any additional capital cases will have to be assigned to outside contract counsel if the Office of the Legal Advocate is not able to rehire for the Attorney–Capital Lead Counsel position (00019588). The contractor attorney rate for capital representation is $125 per hour for lead attorneys. Therefore, allowing the Legal Advocate to recruit and fill this position will produce a cost savings to the Indigent Representation System as a whole, and probably within the Office (depending on the range placement of the attorney selected). Due to the impending retirement of an Attorney–Capital Lead Counsel, the department expects to achieve personnel savings for FY 2009-10. Assuming a Senior-Attorney at mid-range is found to fill this position, this will result in an estimated $23,081 in savings as required under the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program.

25. EXEMPTION TO THE POST EMPLOYMENT (RETIREMENT) HEALTH PLAN ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM (RHEP/PEHP) Approve an exemption to the Post Employment (Retirement) Health Plan Enhancement Program (RHEP), approved by the Board on March 16, 2009 and allow Director-Legal Defense position 00015412 to remain an active position in the Office of the Legal Defender. The Office of the Legal Defender requests an exemption to the RHEP requirement that positions vacated as a result of program participation be inactivated. Also, approve an exemption to the RHEP to allow management of Indigent Representation to utilize the full hiring range ($52.07 to $79.92) to recruit the Legal Defender (Director) position (00015412) and fill at a rate approved through the normal County process. The Director for the Office of the Legal Defender is retiring under the 2009 RHEP program. This position is responsible for overall management and direction as well as planning, directing, implementing, and achieving department strategic goals and objectives for the Legal Defender's Office and therefore must be filled as soon as possible. Assuming the position is filled at mid-point, this will result in an estimated savings of $23,039 as required under the 2009 Retirement Health Plan Enhancement Program. Since the Office of the Legal Defender has already achieved $244,007 in budgetary reductions in the General Fund for FY 2010, no further reductions are required at this time. (C-54-09-001-6-00)

RESOLUTION FOR TRIBAL GAMING FUNDS THROUGH THE AK-CHIN INDIAN COMMUNITY FOR VETERANS ASSISTANCE SUBSIDY Pursuant to A.R.S. §5-601.02, authorize by Resolution, the application to, acceptance and pass-through of 12% Indian Gaming Funds (Proposition 202 (2002)) from the Ak-Chin Indian Community for Schools, Inc. Veterans Assistance Subsidy (VAS) program in an amount not-to-exceed $75,000 for FY2009-FY2010. Authorize the execution of all acceptance documents, including entering into any necessary Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) between the Ak-Chin Indian Community and Maricopa County solely for the purposes of acceptance and distribution of funds, upon review and approval of assigned legal counsel. Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(b), approve an appropriation adjustment to County Manager (200), Non-Departmental grant Fund (249), Non-operating/non-project (0001), increasing the FY 2009-10 revenue and expenditure budgets not-to-exceed $75,000. Indirect costs are not applicable to Tribal Gaming Grants. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides many programs and services on behalf of veterans. This project seeks to augment and expand on this program by extending eligibility criteria, thereby allowing additional veterans to obtain vital services during this time of economic downturn.

43. PROPOSAL FOR REVISION TO COUNTY POLICY HR2403, “REDUCTIONS IN FORCE,” TO ADD FURLOUGH LANGUAGE FOR BOTH CLASSIFIED AND UNCLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES Approve the proposed amendment to County Administrative policy HR2403, “Reductions in Force,” to add a new section permitting the furlough of classified, unclassified and contract employees, with rules and requirements applicable to such furloughs. In order to avoid inconsistent language between and among the Maricopa County Employee Merit System Resolution and Rules, the Maricopa County Employee Leave Plan, and Maricopa County policy HR2403, “Reductions in Force and Furloughs,” this proposed amendment excludes any language conferring limited appeal rights to employees affected by a furlough pending further consideration of this issue by the Maricopa County Employee Merit Commission. Amend HR2403 to include the following language applying to and permitting the furlough of classified, unclassified and contract employees: 1. Change title of Policy to “Reductions in Force and Furloughs.” 2. Amend Section I., “Purpose,” by revising paragraph A to specify that this policy, which previously only addressed reductions in force, also establishes the rules and required procedures for the furlough of classified, unclassified and contract employees of Maricopa County. 3. Amend Section I, “Purpose,” by revising paragraph B to require that departments notify the Director, Workforce Management & Development, as soon as a decision has been made to furlough department employees. 4. Amend Section I., “Purpose,” by revising paragraph D to clarify that, without the express approval of the County Manager, the RIF provisions of this policy apply only to classified employees. 5. Amend Section II. by adding new paragraph E., which defines a “Furlough” as “mandatory unpaid leave imposed on classified employees by a department facing a severe financial crisis. A furlough may be imposed as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, a Reduction in Force. Furloughs shall not be treated as suspensions or involuntary demotions for purposes of Rule 10 (“Appeals”) of the Employee Merit System Rules.” Renumber the remaining definitions in Section II. 6. Amend Section III. by adding a new paragraph F., which requires that a department seeking to undertake a furlough in addition to a Reduction in Force shall incorporate the business justification for the furlough in the RIF Justification Memorandum. 7. Add new Section VII, “Furloughs,” which provides as follows: “VII. FURLOUGHS. A. Furloughs are another means of accomplishing a budget reduction initiative brought on by a budget deficit or shortfall. A furlough is mandatory unpaid leave of one or more days, and is not a reduction in the compensation or hourly rate of pay of an employee. The provisions of this Section VII apply to classified, unclassified and contract employees. B. Furloughs should be used as a secondary measure to accomplish a budget reduction when a reduction in force would so significantly impact a department’s work force that the department would no longer be able to effectively perform its mandated or primary functions. 1. To the extent possible, furloughs and reductions in force contemplated as part of a budget reduction initiative should be addressed in a department’s budget proposal submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the forthcoming fiscal year. All tentative department budgets will be submitted to the Board for approval. Every department contemplating a furlough or reduction in force of its employees must comply with any related OMB budget policies, but must at a minimum provide a written explanation why furloughs are necessary, either in addition to, or instead of reductions in force, and must identify all market range titles in the department that will be subject to the proposed furlough requirements. In applicable situations, a department shall include its written furlough justification with its RIF justification memorandum. C. The following rules apply to the furloughs of County employees: 1. An employee on furloughed status shall accrue leave and, where appropriate, is still eligible for holiday pay if a furlough is taken before or after a holiday, or for other paid time off. 2. Employees subject to a furlough will not at a later time be compensated for their unpaid furlough days. 3. The furlough of any County employee who is exempt from the wage and hour requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) shall be managed in a manner that is consistent with the provisions of the FLSA and with the provisions of any other state or federal laws that may apply. Departments should require FLSA exempt employees to take furlough days over the least number of work weeks as possible. 4. Employees are not to perform any work for the County whatsoever while they are on furlough status.” Backup provided with this agenda item shows all current, proposed changes (in red font) in the context of the current policy, as well as proposed changes deferred (in blue font) pending a future decision of the Merit Commission.

45. PROPOSAL FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO MARICOPA COUNTY EMPLOYEE LEAVE PLAN TO ESTABLISH RULES FOR THE FURLOUGH OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES Approve the following changes to the Maricopa County Employee Leave Plan (“Leave Plan”) to add provisions for the furlough of County employees. These changes are proposed in tandem with the following other items on this same Board agenda: (1) C-31-09-014-6-00 proposing changes to HR2403 (Reductions in Force), that will add a section addressing the furlough of classified and unclassified employees; and (2) C-31-09-015-6-00 proposing changes to the Maricopa County Employee Merit System Resolution and Rules 1, 8 and 10, which were previously approved by the Merit Commission during its formal meeting on May 6, 2009, except for proposed changes that would have conferred limited appeal rights to employees affected by a furlough requirement. With respect to the changes addressing the limited appeal rights of furloughed employees, the Merit Commission deferred approval pending further consideration. Approval is recommended for the following proposed changes to the Leave Plan: 1. Approve change to Section III. “Definition,” to add new paragraph K. defining a furlough as “mandatory unpaid leave imposed on classified, unclassified, initial probationary, contract and temporary employees as the result of a budget deficit or shortfall”; establishing that a furlough may be imposed as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, a Reduction in Force (see HR2403); stating that furloughs are not suspensions or involuntary demotions under Section 16 (“Employee Appeals”) of the Merit System Resolution; and renumbering all subsequent definitions. 2. Approve change to Section IV., “Maricopa County Employee Leave Plan,” identifying two types of unpaid leave, including the new, “Furlough Day Off.” 3. Approve change to Section VIII., by changing the heading to “OTHER PAID LEAVES OF ABSENCE.” 4. Approve addition of new Section IX, entitled “UNPAID LEAVES OF ABSENCE,” and of new paragraph IX.B, which addresses procedures, requirements and rules for the imposition of mandatory unpaid leave (Furlough Day Off or FDO) for County employees. “B. Furlough Day Off (FDO). A furlough (coded by payroll as “furlough day off” or “FDO”) is mandatory unpaid leave of one or more days imposed by departments to accomplish a budget reduction initiative brought on by a budget deficit or shortfall. A furlough is not a reduction in the compensation or hourly rate of pay of an employee. 1. Every department contemplating the imposition of furlough days off must comply with the provisions of HR2403, “Reductions in Force and Furloughs,” and with any related OMB budget policies. At a minimum, departments must provide a written explanation why furloughs are necessary, must quantify the anticipated savings that will be realized, and must identify all market range titles in the department that will be subject to the proposed furlough requirements. 2. The following rules apply to the furloughs of County employees: a. An employee on furloughed status shall accrue leave and remain eligible for holiday pay even if a furlough day off is taken on the day before or the day after a holiday, and will remain eligible for other paid time off, as appropriate. b. Employees subject to a furlough will not at a later time be compensated for their unpaid furlough days off. c. Furlough time shall be taken in full work day increments except that residual mandatory furlough time of less than a full work day may be taken at one time. d.

63. SPOT AWARD PROGRAM FOR PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT Approve the continuation of a Spot Award Token Program as an employee recognition program for FY2009-2010, in accordance with Section X of the Maricopa County Compensation Plan, in addition to the American Express Peak Performer Program for Parks and Recreation Department. Estimated annual cost of the Spot Award Token Program is under $350.00 and will be absorbed from non-general fund sources within the Department (Fund 241 and Fund 240). The Program will cover the period from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Section X of the Maricopa County’s Compensation Plan allows Appointing Authorities to provide recognition rewards to employees for exemplary performance, attendance or other types of job-related achievements. The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Department’s Spot Award Token Program is to allow the Department to present direct, spot awards throughout the period of the Program to employees who have been recognized by their peers for excellent customer service or other types of job-related achievements. The Parks’ Spot Award Token Program, initiated in Fiscal Year 2003, supplements the American Express Peak Performer Program for deserving employees, but expands that Program in that it provides recognition to a larger number of deserving employees through the awarding of smaller denomination American Express Gift Cards. The Department will purchase approximately 30-50 $10 Gift Cards per year in support of this Program at a cost under $350.00, utilizing non-general fund monies from enhancement and other special revenue funds. The Department would like to continue to use the Spot Award Token Program as a morale enhancement and will employ similar processes as are in place for the American Express Card Peak Performer Program to ensure compliance and accountability. This Program is in alignment with the County’s Strategic Priority 6: Maintain a quality workforce and equip County employees with the tools, skills, workspace, and resources they need to do their jobs safely and well. It is not in conflict with the American Express Card Peak Performer Program and is self-funded by the Department. (C-30-09-022-M-00)

66. CREATE PARK MAINTENANCE WORKER POSITION FOLLOWING POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH ENHANCEMENT RETIREMENT Approve the creation of a classified position (General Maintenance Worker) in the Parks & Recreation Department Lake Pleasant Services Fund (240). This position request is necessary due to the fact that a current General Maintenance Worker (working title Park Maintenance Worker) is participating in the new Post Employment Health Enhancement (Retirement) Program (PEHEP) which requires that the current position (#01434) be eliminated. Creation of this position is necessary because Lake Pleasant Regional Park has a 24-hour per day, 7-day per week, 365-day per year operation with only five General Maintenance Worker positions to manage 14,000 acres of land, camp sites, day-use areas, shoreline and more. The department can not operate without all of these positions. Consistent with the policy, the new position will be recruited at or below the mid-point of the current market range, which will realize minimum required savings of $6,550.96 annually over the retiring employee who is currently budgeted at the maximum of the range. Position 1434, in the Parks & Recreation Department, was inactivated due to the previous incumbent’s participation in the 2009 Retirement Health Enhancement Program. This position’s current attributes are as follows: MRT: General Maintenance Worker Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $19.68 Due to the nature of this position, the Parks & Recreation Department feels it necessary to replace position 1434 with a new position. The new position’s attributes will be as follows: MRT: General Maintenance Worker Status: Classified Budgeted Rate: $16.53 (C-30-09-029-M-00)

The Downtown Court Tower is located in District 5. Change Order No. 5 adds scope to the existing contract to allow for the extensive furniture design and move management for the Downtown Court Tower Project. It was originally anticipated that this service would be handled by one of the three contracted firms for this project, but at the original time of contracting the Court Tower Team was uncertain as to which firm would provide the best service and product for the project and the County. The three firms, Gilbane Building Company, Gould Evans, and Parsons Technology were given the opportunity to vie for this scope of work. The Gilbane and Gould Evans firms teamed up to provide a comprehensive approach which complemented the work they were each already assigned. The team was selected by a committee of Public Works, Facilities Management Department and outside participants and was determined to be the best qualified to provide the best value for Maricopa County.

F-4. IGA WITH CITY OF SCOTTSDALE FOR UPPER CAMELBACK WASH DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2009A006, Upper Camelback Wash Drainage Improvements (Project), between the City of Scottsdale (City) and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District). This IGA is for cost sharing of the design of the Project. The estimated total cost under this IGA is $300,000 to be shared equally between the District and the City at $150,000 each. This Agreement will become effective as of the date it has been executed by all parties. The IGA shall become effective when recorded at the office of the County Recorder and shall expire ten (10) years from the date of recording or upon Project completion, whichever comes first. The City of Scottsdale (City) requested in the FY 2007/2008 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Prioritization Procedure that the District participate in funding of the design and construction of the Project. The City’s Storm Water Master Plan recommended improvements to mitigate flooding hazards in the Upper Camelback Wash watershed. Hydraulic analysis of the existing drainage channels in the watershed shows the conveyance capacity of the existing system of open channels is limited to a 2-year event level in some areas, creating a flood hazard for an estimated 600 structures. The proposed Project will increase the existing system’s capacity and in turn the level of protection for this watershed. This item impacts Supervisory District 2. (C-69-09-067-3-00)
