This is an annual IGA approved by the Council to provide fixed route services in

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE REGIONAL PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (RPTA) FOR THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
8. INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY ADULT
PROBATION DEPARTMENT
This is a request for the City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into
an intergovernmental agreement with the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department
to participate in the Community Restitution program. The purpose of this agreement
will be to utilize adult probationary individuals for litter control services at the City of
Glendale Landfill.
Litter control is a necessary activity at the Glendale Landfill towards achieving
the Council goal of providing high-quality services for Glendale citizens, as well as
maintaining a clean facility for surrounding residential and commercial areas.
Over the past six months, the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department has
supplied adult probationers to the Glendale landfill for litter control services. Due to the
success of the program during the six-month trial period, landfill staff requests approval
of an intergovernmental agreement for these services. The Glendale landfill spends
approximately $35,000 annually on temporary employees for litter control purposes. By
entering into this agreement, the Glendale Landfill supplements its litter control needs
with an additional staffing alternative at a cost of $3,600 annually without'interrupting
the current level of service. Furthermore, Maricopa County probationers are allowed
the opportunity to complete their community service hours while serving the citizens of
Glendale.
The city has partnered with the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department
and participated in the Community Restitution Program in the past to provide
community service opportunities at the city's Cemetery, Field Operations Department,
and Neighborhood Resources Department.
The community will benefit from this program in the form of increasing the litter
control efforts in areas immediately surrounding the landfill boundaries, including the
Glendale Avenue right-of-way. Lifter control maintains beautification and minimizes
nuisance conditions for residential and commercial areas adjacent to the landfill.
Funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2008-09 Landfill operating budget.

at the City of Glendale Landfill.
Resolution No. 4188 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF AN
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA COUNTY SUPERIOR
COURT FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE COMMUNITY RESTITUTION PROGRAM.
9. AMENDMENT TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA
COUNTY FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES
This is a request for the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing an
amendment to the existing Animal Control Contract with Maricopa County, which would
duly authorize Maricopa County Animal Control enforcement officers to be "agents of
the City" in accordance with the enforcement of the City Rabies/Animal Control
Ordinance.
This action affirms the Council Goal of one community focused on public safety
for its citizens and visitors by streamlining the process through which animal control
violations are handled.
The city has contracted with Maricopa County for over 35 years for animal
control services. Recently, the legislature passed House Bill 2750 which amended
Arizona Revised Statute 22-301, affecting the process in which Maricopa County
Animal Care and Control distributes enforcement citations.
Prior to November 5, 2007, Maricopa County Animal Care and Control officers
could file citation actions directly into Glendale City Court without requiring the
assistance of a Glendale Police officer and the preparation of a "long form" complaint.
Effective November 5, 2007, all citation complaints shall be submitted to the City
Prosecutor for preparation and filing of the "long form" complaint. With this new
process, Maricopa County Animal Control Officers are required to obtain the assistance
of a Glendale police officer in order to immediately file complaints for violation of the
10
Glendale City Code with the Glendale City Court. The matter must then be submitted
to the Glendale City Prosecutor to be reviewed and then have a complaint filed.
Amending the contract and authorizing Animal Control officers as "agents of the
city" eliminates the need for a police officer to respond, eradicates the need for the filing
of a "long form" and allows for the immediate issuance of a citation to the offending
party directly into the City Court.
At the June 26, 2007 meeting, the Council approved the renewal of a three-year
animal control contract with Maricopa County which became effective July 1, 2007.
Maricopa County Animal Care and Control provides over 7,000 service activities
to the City of Glendale annually. Approximately 200, or 3%, of all animal control
enforcement activities performed annually are citations and require court processing.
Streamlining the citation process by allowing Maricopa Animal Control officers to issue
citations directly and eliminating the officer dispatch and "long form" process expedites
the enforcement process, reduces Glendale Police officer time and enhances public
safety for citizens.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond title and adopt a resolution
authorizing an amendment to the existing Animal Control Contract and authorize
Maricopa County Animal Control enforcement officers to be agents of the City in
accordance with the enforcement of the City Rabies/Animal Control Ordinance.
Resolution No. 4189 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE ENTERING INTO OF
AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH
MARICOPA COUNTY FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES; AND ORDERING THAT
A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE RECORDED.
10. ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FROM THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT OF
MARICOPA COUNTY: NORTH SIDE OF THE GRAND CANAL AT 79TH
AVENUE
This is a request for the City Council to adopt a resolution authorizing the City
Manager to execute all documents necessary to accept a 0.624 acre parcel of land
from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) on the north side of the
Grand Canal at 79th Avenue.
On September 10, 2002, the City Council approved an intergovernmental
agreement (IGA) with the FCDMC for the construction of the Bethany Home Road
Outfall Channel. One of the terms of the IGA stipulated that the FCDMC convey all
property interests to the city that it acquired for the Outfall Channel. This area was
included in the overall operating and maintenance of the Outfall Channel project, and
11
the city has been maintaining this property since May of 2007 when the construction
was completed.
The FCDMC is prepared to convey another of those parcels at this time. To
complete the conveyance, the city needs to sign documents accepting the 0.624 acre
parcel enabling FCDMC to complete the conveyance.
The recommendation was to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a
resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to accept a
0.624 acre parcel of land from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County on the
north side of the Grand Canal at 79th Avenue.
Resolution No. 4190 New Series was read by number and title only, it being A
RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE, MARICOPA
COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THAT TITLE TO AND
POSSESSION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE FLOOD CONTROL
DISTRICT OF MARICOPA COUNTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
