Purpose and Recommended ActionRecommendation
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County for the exchange of services (Entente) in order to perform routine or emergency roadway maintenance.
Background
There are many locations where roads cross the jurisdictional boundaries between the City of Glendale and Maricopa County. It often makes fiscal and operational sense for roadway maintenance occurring on one side of the boundary to be continued across. Normally this work would require separate Council approved agreements for each instance and location. The Entente Program would allow the City Manager to enter into temporary Letters of Agreement (LOAs) with Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to share or exchange goods or services to perform these services. A separate LOA would be entered into for each project describing the work to be performed and the amount of reimbursement owed to the other party if applicable. If approved, the IGA would remain in effect for five (5) years.
Analysis
Having a standing IGA for the exchange of services in place which allows work to cross jurisdictions would reduce costs from double administrative work and contractor mobilization. The terms of this IGA have been reviewed by the Public Works Department and City Attorney's staff.
