Request/Subject

Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement No. 020623 an Economic Development Grant between Gila County and Pine/Strawberry Fire District. The Pine/Strawberry Fire District has submitted a request to assist them with the purchase of Portable Radios.

Background Information

Each year funds are budgeted to support economic development activities. 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 Pine/Strawberry Fire District is in need of new Portable radios for the safety and well-being of the public as well as the firefighters. This can be a life or death situation in which Supervisor Christensen would like to offer help.

The Pine/Strawberry Fire District will provide direct benefit to the County by acknowledging the contribution to the public.

Evaluation

Funds are available. After viewing the Pine/Strawberry Fire District's request, an Intergovernmental Agreement No. 020623 an Economic Development Grant was developed in the amount of $32,520.56, 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 No. 020623 Economic Development Grant and determine it to be for the benefit of the public.

Conclusion

Funds are available and after evaluation, the Board may approve the Intergovernmental Agreement No. 020623 an Economic Development Grant that the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public by entering into an agreement with the Pine/Strawberry Fire District.

Recommendation

After evaluation, the Board may approve the Intergovernmental Agreement No.020623 an Economic Development Grant that the Board has determined to be for the benefit of the public by entering into an agreement with Pine/Strawberry Fire District.
