MARICOPA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT TRANSFER OF I-10 BASINS RECOMMENDATION: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 16-1758 APPROVING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT OF MARICOPA COUNTY, ACCEPTING CERTAIN EASEMENTS, LEASES, AND OTHER REAL ESTATE CONVEYANCES RELATED TO THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY. PURPOSE: Goodyear’s acquisition of the I-10 retention basins from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County is the first step to fulfill a long-term vision of the community to beautify the city and provide a central recreation corridor for community health and wellness activities. The highly visible land currently serves as simply a flood control feature, is not landscaped, and presents a poor appearance. By acquiring this land, the City and its partners have the opportunity to turn this eyesore into an asset. (Brian Dalke, City Manager)
