Information

Request/Subject

Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement No. 011223 between Gila County and the Christopher Kohls Fire Department (CKFD). The CKFD has submitted a request for an Economic Development Grant to assist the CKFD with drilling a well.

Background Information

Each year funds are budgeted to support economic development activities. In October 2022 it was brought to the attention of Supervisor Cline and Supervisor Christensen, at a community meeting, that the Christopher Kohls Fire Department did not have a well or restrooms available at the fire department which affects the firefighter's daily work and the community members during community events at the fire station. Subsequently, the CKFD applied for an Economic Development Grant to support establishing a well at the fire department. Under A.R.S. §11-254, contributions may be made to any governmental agency or to a non-profit corporation that enjoys and maintains federal tax-exempt status as long as all monies are utilized for the purpose determined to be public by the Board. The CKFD will provide direct benefit to the County by acknowledging the contribution to the public.

Evaluation

Funds are available. After reviewing the CKFD 's request, an Intergovernmental Agreement was developed in the amount of $10,000, and asking the necessary questions, the Board shall determine if the request is for the benefit of the public. The Board may approve the IGA and determine it to be for the benefit of the public.

Conclusion

Funds are available and after evaluation, the Board may approve IGA No. 011223 Economic Development Grant that the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public by entering into an IGA with the CKFD.

Recommendation

After evaluation, the Board may approve the Intergovernmental Agreement No. 011223 Economic Development Grant that the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public by entering into an IGA with the CKFD.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve Intergovernmental Agreement No. 011223 an Economic Development Grant between Gila County and the Christopher Kohls Fire Department whereby the County will disburse $10,000 for the establishment of a well and that the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public.
