19. AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT GRANT FOR THE CREATION OF A PRISON RE-ENTRY INITIATIVE Accept the grant funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 in the amount of $ 2,045,584 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to Maricopa County through its Department of Adult Probation for the creation of a prison re-entry initiative to reduce recidivism of individuals from the Arizona Department of Corrections to probation, thereby increasing neighborhood safety and the efficiency of the criminal justice system. The term of the grant is from August 1, 2009 through July 31, 2011. The Adult Probation Department's indirect rate for FY 2009-10 is 10.0%. The grant allows for full indirect cost recovery. Therefore, indirect costs estimated at $185,962 are fully recoverable. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation and, therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law.
