Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment No. 1 of the Agreement for Services between Cochise County and Airwest Helicopters, LLC, an Arizona Corporation changing the way in which flight hours are charged.
Background:
Airwest Helicopters and the County of Cochise have entered into a contract to provide helicopter services for the Sheriff's Office for a one year period. This contract was signed by the Chairman of the Board on 041014. Subsequent to this contract being signed, the foundation providing the funding for this program renegotiated the method by which monthly additional hours would be charged. In the original contract, additional hours would be charged in 10 hour blocks. The new agreement between the foundation and Airwest Helicopters provides for additional hours to be charged by the hour instead.
The only amendment to the contract is for these additional hours and will not incur any additional expenses.
This amemendment has been approved by Terry Bannon of the County Attorney's Office and also signed the Airwest.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Upon approval of the board, the Sheriff's Office will continue with the helicopter program under the new additional hour criteria.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, it would be possible for the foundation to discontinue funding the project, therefore eliminating the ability for the Sheriff's Office to provide this critical support within the county.
