11. ACCEPT GRANTS FOR THE CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT Accept FY 2008-09 grants for the Clerk of the Superior Court in the amount of $1,601,681. The indirect costs (based upon a rate of 31.9% as calculated by the Department of Finance) of $510,936 are not fully recoverable, as reflected in the funding agreements. FY 2008-09 grants allow for $298,237 of recoverable indirect costs and $212,699 of unrecoverable costs. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of these revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. Administrative Order #95-50, approved by Presiding Judge Robert D. Myers on June 29, 1995, adopted for the Judicial Branch a policy for the administration of grant funding. The policy, identical in form and substance to policy A2505 "Policy for Administering Grants" and all revisions adopted by the Board of Supervisors for all County departments. 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. A summary of each grant has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the policy. Additional copies of all supporting documents have been delivered to the Office of the Clerk of the Board, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), County Finance Departments and Legal Departments.
