Approval of this item will result in an overall grant funds appropriation of $1,371,823 for revenues and expenditures in the Clerk of the Court (160) COSC Grant Fund (216) Operating (0000) budget. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of constitutionals expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of these revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. 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 the policy adopted by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in June 1995 for all County departments, states that the Presiding Judge (or appropriate designee) will make a presentation of Judicial Branch grants to the Board of Supervisors on an annual basis. A summary of each grant has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the policy. Copies of the agreement and supporting documents have been provided to the Office of Management and Budget, County Finance, and Legal Departments. (C-16-12-004-G-00)
