RECITALS
A. The Parties entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on June 2, 1998, recorded in the

B. Among other things, the 1998 lOA provided terms and conditions for the construction of a
new fire station at the Marana Municipal Complex (the "MMC Fire Station").

"Marana MPC"), an Arizona non-profit entity, would sell bonds to finance the construction of
the MMC Fire Station as part of a larger bond issue involving certain Town government
facilities.
D. The District has now determined that using an alternate method of financing the
construction of the MMC Fire Station would be in the District's best interests.
E. This MOU is intended to modify the 1998 lOA for consistency with the Parties current
anticipated plans relative to the MMC Fire Station.

to the Town by separate agreement and that the District will acquire approximately one
additional acre of property from the partnership for the MMC Fire Station Site, making it a total
of about two acres. The Town will transfer ownership of the Town-acquired portion of the MMC
Fire Station Site to the District within thirty days after receiving title from the partnership.
3. Financing of the MMC Fire Station and Site Acquisition and Construction. The District
will finance the acquisition and construction of the MMC Fire Station Site using financing not
