municipal corporation, pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes section (A.R.S. §) 11-952.
District and Marana are sometimes collectively referred to as the “Parties,” either of
which is sometimes individually referred to as a “Party.”

historical resources in the Project planning and design phases through inventory,
evaluation, and impact assessment, and seek to avoid impacts to these resources

and regulations. If impacts are unavoidable, a mitigation treatment plan will be
prepared in consultation with Pima County, the State Historic Preservation Office,
