35. GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR RENEWAL OF EMERGENCY PLANS SOFTWARE Authorize Emergency Management to apply for grant funds from Arizona State Department of Homeland Security, (FFY22 SHSGP), in the not-to-exceed amount of $85,000 for the MaricopaRegionPrepares.com subscription renewal. This is a Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) software package for all jurisdictions within Maricopa County. The grant period for this grant is October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Department of Emergency Management's composite indirect cost rate at 9.5% or $8075. The Department will not be recovering indirect costs off of this grant. The amount of unrecoverable indirect cost is $8075. 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 five 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 a department strategic goal to have all county departments with a viable Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP). 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 Emergency Operations Plans (EOP)/COOP software project for all county departments and jurisdictions within Maricopa County. Each year Maricopa County applies for the recurring cost of the software maintenance and training funds. Maricopa County does not have to fund any additional costs for the program. The grant is intended to renew the MaricopaRegionPrepares.com subscription. This software tool benefits Maricopa County in developing Emergency Operations Planning (EOP), Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP), Continuity of Government (COG) Planning for local government. The Department was awarded a grant for the software in 2015, we are applying for a grant to cover the cost associated with the maintenance of the system. Funding for this agreement is provided by a grant from the State of Arizona Department of Homeland Security in the amount not to exceed $85,000. 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-15-22-004-X-00)
