Information

Request/Subject

Amendment No. 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) No. 071918 with the Town of Hayden-Building for Code Compliance and Inspection Services

Background Information

On October 2, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved IGA No. 071918 with the Town of Hayden for code compliance and inspection services which expired on October 1, 2019.

On November 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Amendment No. 1 to IGA No. 071918 to extend the term of IGA through October 1, 2020; and removed unnecessary language from the IGA.

The Town does not have building or zoning inspectors on staff. In order to comply with state statutes and the Town’s ordinances, in regard to fire, health, and life safety, the Town requires technical assistance in the areas of inspections and code compliance. The Gila County Community Development Department shall provide field inspections and reports to ensure compliance with state statutes and the Town’s ordinances. The Town shall compensate the County for services provided at the rate of $50 per inspection or $50 per hour for services rendered.

Evaluation

Amendment No. 2 extends the term of the IGA for one additional year, from October 1, 2020 through September 31, 2021.

The Gila County Community Development Division has trained personnel with inspection and code compliance experience whereas the Town does not. The Town is very interested in pursuing code compliance violations and with the assistance of the County, a determination can be made if there is actually a violation. The Town will then pursue enforcement of the confirmed violations.

Conclusion

Approval of Amendment No. 2 will benefit the Town of Hayden since the County has the resources and expertise in inspections and code compliance that the Town does not. The added workload to the staff of Community Development is expected to be minimal. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to IGA No. 071918.

Recommendation

The Community Development Division Director recommends the approval of Amendment No. 2 to IGA No. 071918 with the Town of Hayden-Building for Code Compliance and Inspection Services.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve Amendment No. 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement No. 071918 with the Town of Hayden to extend the contract term for an additional year to October 2, 2021, (correction - actual termination date is through September 31, 2021) whereby the Community Development Department will continue to provide code compliance and inspection services for the Town.
