Request to Amend the Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Phoenix and Town of Cave Creek for Water Service Infrastructure (Ordinance S-52615) - Out of City
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) 149354 between the City of Phoenix and the Town of Cave Creek for water service infrastructure within Phoenix's Cave Creek service area and within Cave Creek's town limits.
Report
Summary
In 1987, the City of Phoenix (“City”) purchased the water service area located in an unincorporated area of Maricopa County between Carefree Highway to the north and Peak View Road to the south, and from 40th Street to the west and 56th Street to the east. Since then, the Town of Cave Creek (“Town”) has annexed parcels within this area and has provided domestic water service and/or fire protection water service to select commercial businesses within the City’s Cave Creek service area.
In 2019, the City and Town approved IGA 149354 to outline the necessary infrastructure improvements required and, when completed, would allow the water services to be transferred permanently to the City.
The amendment request would extend the current IGA and allow the City to complete the water system improvements necessary to allow the takeover of domestic water service and/or fire protection water services in the City’s Cave Creek service area.
Contract Term
The original IGA term was five years, with an option to extend an additional two years, which was executed on March 7, 2024. This amendment would extend the agreement to August 31, 2026.
Financial Impact
There are no additional financial impacts.
