Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Court Consolidation Agreement between Cochise County and the City of Willcox, effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019.
Background:
Cochise County entered into a court consolidation agreement with the City of Willcox in July 2008. The current agreement expires December 31, 2019. The current agreement language has been updated to remove outdated language, clarify cost calculations, and to standardize all County court consolidation agreements. The agreement states that the parties agree that City contributions would be $11,993.29 for fiscal year 2016/2017 based on based on actual costs incurred the previous calendar year; thereafter, costs will be reviewed on an annual basis and recommendations will be made for adjustments as needed. The intent is for the cost of the consolidation to be neutral for Cochise County. Any costs above the revenue generated by the City Court are to be borne by the City. The preceding calendar year is the basis of the costs and revenues for the subsequent fiscal year to allow the City and County to budget accordingly.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Staff will notify the City of Willcox that the agreement has been approved by the Board.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The City would have to take over providing City Court services.
