Agenda Item Text:
Approve an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Pima County and Cochise County for Medical Examiner Services for the period of May 22, 2017 through June 30, 2017 in the amount of $87,500 per quarter and does not include non-autopsy and non-examination services.
Background:
For the last five years, the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner has managed medical examiner duties for Cochise County under a fixed-price contract of $350,000 per year, paid quarterly in advance. The arrangement has functioned quite well, with all community partners (funeral homes and law enforcement agencies) working together. Moreover, the Pima County OME is a large and respected professional organization.
Payment and service terms in the new contract will continue as in the current contract.
