In Arizona, governmental immunity is the exception and liability is the rule. Alliedsignal, Inc. v. City of Phoenix, 182 F.3d 692, 694 (9th Cir. 1999). The Arizona Revised Statute 12-820.01 (2003), provides in relevant part: A. a public entity shall not be liable for acts and omissions of its employees constituting either of the following: The exercise of a judicial or legislative function. The exercise of an administrative function involving the determination of fundamental governmental policy. B. the determination of a fundamental governmental policy involves the exercise of discretion and shall include, but is not limited to: 1. a determination of whether to seek or whether to provide the resources necessary for any of the following: (a) the purchase of equipment. (b) the construction or maintenance of facilities. (c) the hiring of personnel. (d) the provision of governmental services. 2. a determination of whether and how to spend existing resources, including those allocated for equipment, facilities and personnel. Arizona Revised Statute 12-820.01 is interpreted "with a view to finding immunity only if it clearly applies." Schabel v. Deer Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 186 Ariz. 161, 164, 920 P.2d 41, 44 (App. 1996).
