11. CHANGE ORDER TO GRANT FUNDS FROM THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY Amend the action taken on September 12, 2012, by the Board of Supervisors under Agenda C-19-13-006-G-00. In this original action, the Board authorized the acceptance of $3,115 in Federal Highway Safety funds through the Governor's Office of Highway Safety for use in sending personnel to attend specialized out-of-state training on the effects of drugs and impaired driving. By approving this amendment, the Board of Supervisors will authorize the acceptance of an additional $6,382 in GOHS grant funds under GOHS Number 2012-AL-044 and Change Order 2013-014 to send additional personnel to training. The total amount of funds to be received increases to $9,497. This agreement commenced September 21, 2012 and will terminate on September 30, 2013. These funds will not be used for any indirect or administrative costs that may be incurred by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. Thus, the grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 that may be incurred for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the County Attorney’s composite indirect cost rate at 14.2%, or $906.00. The additional recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0 and the additional non-recoverable indirect cost is $906.00. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, or designee, to sign all documents related to this award. 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. This award agreement, with the amended amount, totals $9,497.00 in Federal dollars under CFDA 20.600 awarded to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety by the U. S. Department of Transportation. These funds will be used to reduce the incidence of Driving Under the Influence through the specialized training of prosecution personnel. Such training will aid in increasing the number of DUI convictions and appropriate sentences. This grant will expire at the end of the award period unless prior written approval for an extension has been obtained from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety. Payment of these grant funds are conditioned upon the availability of funds appropriated for the payment of such obligation. (C-19-13-006-G-01)
