55. ADULT PROBATION GRANTS FOR FY2026 Accept the FY 2026 grants and associated revenue for the Adult Probation Department of the Judicial Branch in the amount of $2,455,332.00. The indirect cost rate as of July 2026 is 13.86% as approved by the Department of Finance.

The status of indirect costs for each grant is on file in the office of the Clerk of the Board in accordance with ASLAPR retention policy. The amount of indirect costs on eligible expenditures are estimated to be $308,319.37 with $287,763.83 as unrecoverable and $25,555.54 as recoverable. Total in-kind matching amount is $100,000.00. Also, pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17106, approve appropriation adjustments resulting in a net increase to revenues and expenditures of $419,647 in the FY 2026 Adult Probation Department (D110) Adult Probation Grants Fund (211) Operating (OPER) budget. Approval of this item will result in an overall appropriation of $2,455,332 for revenues and expenditures in the Adult Probation Department (D110) Adult Probation Grants Fund (211) Operating (OPER) budget. Also, pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17106, approve appropriation adjustments resulting in a net decrease to expenditures of $41,472 in the FY 2026 Adult Probation Department (D110) Adult Probation Grants Fund (211) Non Recurring (NRNP) budget. Approval of this item will result in an overall appropriation of $727,211 for expenditures in the Adult Probation Department (D110) Adult Probation Grants Fund (211) Non Recurring (NRNP) budget. 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. This request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues adopted by the Board of Supervisors pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-17105. The agenda item includes reoccurring and non-reoccurring grants. Future ongoing contributions may or may not be required after the grant award periods end. Grant awards fulfill judicial mandated services. Grant awards are competitively and non-competitively bid. The total cost the department’s operating budget will absorb is $0.00. Superior Court policy # F-210, approved by Presiding Judge Robert D. Myers in June of 1995, adopted for the Judicial Branch a policy for the administration of grant funding. The policy states that the Presiding Judge will make a presentation to the Board of Supervisors on an annual basis of the Judicial Branch’s grants. (C-11-26-001-X-00)
