STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the expenditure of annual assessment payment for the IGA with Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management. (Brian Woodard, Emergency Manager)

FISCAL IMPACT

The shared cost to the City of Goodyear for FY24-25 is $8,259.90 which is included in the Fire Department’s general fund budget.

BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS

Twenty-six jurisdictions participate in this regional IGA. This annual fee pays for the Emergency Operations Center software component as well as a variety of services such as assistance in writing and updating the jurisdiction’s emergency plan, assistance in conducting training exercises, and providing a liaison to the city during large emergencies. It enables municipal partners to share equipment and staff in the event of an emergency which allows for cost-efficiencies, and rapid response. The agreement provides planning, training, and expert staff resources at Goodyear’s disposal. The partner funding is leveraged against the county contribution and then matched by federal dollars. This leveraging maximizes the value of the municipal funding portion.
