31. GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY Authorize Emergency Management to apply for grant funds from the Arizona State Department of Homeland Security, FFY19 SHSGP, in the not-to-exceed amount of $4,000.00 for Satellite Connectivity. The grant period for this grant is October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Department of Emergency Management's composite indirect cost rate at 6.8% or $272.00. The Department will not be recovering indirect costs off of this grant. The amount of unrecoverable indirect cost is $272.00. Emergency Management will absorb these indirect costs within their general budget. The grant award is non-recurring, the department has to apply every year however, we have received the grant for the past three years. The department does not have an in-kind match requirement for this grant. The grant award is not a mandated function but it is the department's responsibility to provide backup satellite communications for the county Emergency Operations Center and other locations within Maricopa County. The grant is awarded through the Arizona State Homeland Security Department-State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP), which is a competitive grant program. Maricopa County jurisdictions compete for projects based off the State grant initiatives. Maricopa County has spear headed the grant for the mobile satellite for use during outages within Maricopa County or disasters occurring outside Maricopa County. Each year Maricopa County applies for recurring cost of the satellite date plan. Maricopa County does not have to fund any additional costs for the program. Emergency Management is responsible for implementing the County’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for responding to disasters within Maricopa County. Telecommunications are an integral part in that response as MCDEM hosts a Crises Information Management System to our response partners. The fixed site satellite connection will provide a backup to our main telecommunication connection at the Emergency Operations Center. Using a satellite connection will decrease the likelihood the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) would be down due to a commercial telecommunications outage whether through natural or man-made causes. The mobile satellite connection will provide telecommunications for Reception Center or Shelter sites that will be coordinated by the department and can be leveraged for Continuity of Operations Plans (COOPs) by the department due to un-inhabitable conditions of the EOC whether during a response or steady state. Funding for this agreement is provided by a grant from the State of Arizona Department of Homeland Security in the amount not to exceed $2808. The overall grant budget will be adjusted as necessary to accommodate this grant through future reconciliation. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-15-19-002-G-00)
