19. COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS FUNDING FOR INTERNATIONAL DARK SKY DISCOVERY CENTER Authorize the Community Solutions Funding Proposal request for the International Dark Sky Discovery Center (IDSDC) to subsidize the cost of admission for Maricopa County residents to the exhibits and camps for school-age children in the amount of $100,000 with an expected start date of July 31, 2024. The new center will provide hands-on experiences to teach Maricopa County residents about the importance of dark skies for the well-being of humans, plants and animals. The Board of Supervisors’ Community Solutions Funding (CSF) is primarily intended to cover the cost of initiatives that carry the potential of advancing Maricopa County’s Strategic Goals and provide a clear public benefit for Maricopa County residents. The associated Maricopa County Strategic Goal is: Regional Services. Pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17106(B), authorize the following appropriation adjustments to the FY 2025 budget: 1. Decrease the expenditure authority in the Non Departmental (D470) General Fund (100) Non Recurring (NRNP) budget in the line “Community Solutions Funding” (4711) by $100,000. 2. Increase the expenditure authority in the Non Departmental (D470) General Fund (100) Non Recurring (NRNP) budget in the line “D2 – Community Solutions Funding” (4762) by $100,000. These actions will have a net zero impact on the County-wide budget and do not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105.
