Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve Resolution 15-24 approving the Amended Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) authorizing the membership of Cochise County in the Eastern Arizona Counties Organization and authorizing the Chairman to sign the Amended IGA and Supervisor Searle to sign the Amended By-Laws.

Background:

At Supervisor Searle's request, the Board  previously discussed the possibility of joining the Eastern Arizona Counties Coalition (ECO), but at that time the existing IGA among the five county members did not have a mechanism for adding another county, nor did that existing IGA allow for the kind of activities that ECO in fact had undertaken and that Cochise County wanted to undertake as well.  ECO has since amended the IGA, as well as the corresponding by-laws.  Both the Amended IGA and By-laws are attached to this agenda item.  The purposes of ECO are described in Article I of the By-laws.

In anticipation of joining ECO, the Board appointed Supervisor Searle as its representative on the ECO board and budgeted $6,000 for membership in FY2015-16.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

None

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Cochise County would not be a member of ECO

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Have Chairman Call execute the Resolution and two copies of the IGA.  Have Supervisor Searle execute two copies of the By-laws.  Keep one of each document, and send the other to ECO executive director Pascal Berlioux.
