Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Court Consolidation Agreement between Cochise County and the City of Benson, effective July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
Background:
Cochise County entered into a court consolidation agreement with the City of Benson on July 1, 2004 (original attached); the agreement has been amended each year since. The current agreement will expire on June 30, 2012.
The agreement, which has been approved by the City of Benson, states that the parties ageee to review the costs contained in Exhibit A of the agreement on an annual basis and make recommendations 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 for the costs and revenues for the subsequent fiscal year to allow the City (and County) to budget accordingly.
