13. ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND EDUCATION Approve the agreement and acceptance of federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration grant funds from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission in the amount of $14,976 in federal grant funds. These grant funds are for implementing a drug prevention and education program. The grant award began on April 1, 2015 and ends on September 30, 2015. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 which may be incurred by the County Attorney's Office or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate at 16.1%, or $2,411.00. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $2,411.00. 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 grant will expire at the end of the award period unless prior written approval for an extension has been obtained from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. Payments of grant funds are conditioned upon the availability of funds appropriated or allocated for the payment of these funds. There is no long term expectation of continued funding for this grant. These grant program expenditures will use operating funds that exist within the County Attorney (190) Grant Fund (219). (C-19-15-033-G-00)
