Information

Request/Subject

Intergovernmental Agreement No. 062014 - Animal Control between Gila County and the City of Globe.

Background Information

The Gila County Health and Emergency Services Division Director, Michael O’Driscoll, received a request from the City of Globe Manager, Brent Billingsley, to initiate an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Gila County and the City of Globe for animal control services.

While Gila County has been providing animal control services to the City of Globe for a fee, there has not been a formal written agreement in place for those services.

Evaluation

By entering into Intergovernmental Agreement No. 062014 with the City of Globe, set fees for services outlined within the IGA are hereby defined.

Rabies and animal control is a statutory requirement of Gila County; therefore, the IGA term will commence upon the date first signed and shall terminate one year after signing. The IGA shall be renewed from year to year automatically at each termination date unless either party at any time terminates the IGA by giving the other party thirty (30) days' prior written notice.

Conclusion

Staff feels it is in the best interest of Gila County to establish an IGA with the City of Globe, for animal control services, in order to clearly define the animal control services that Gila County will provide to the City of Globe and at the fees, as described for those services, identified in IGA No. 062014.

Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of Intergovernmental Agreement No. 062014 with the City of Globe, to establish a formal written agreement of various animal control services Gila County will provide to the City of Globe, at specified rates for said services.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement No. 062014 between Gila County and the City of Globe to establish services and fees provided by Gila County to the City of Globe for animal control services commencing on October 21, 2014, for a one-year term, with automatic renewals at the end of each term, at a cost of $40,000 per year, and either party may terminate the Agreement by giving the other party thirty days' prior written notice.
