This agreement, DPS Grant Agreement No. 2015-251, commences October 1, 2015 (retroactive due to grantor’s delay in awarding funds) and terminates on September 30, 2016. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to this agreement. The grant allows a de minimus rate for indirect costs of $4,980 that may be incurred by the County Attorney's Office of Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the County Attorney's composite indirect cost rate for FY 2015-16 at 13.0%, or $7,122. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $6,718; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $2,142. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office recognizes that this grant requires a cash equivalent match of $13,696 and has the resources to provide this match. Pursuant to A.R.S.§42-17106, approve appropriation adjustment(s) resulting in a net increase to revenue and expenditures of $41,089 in FY 2015-2016 County Attorney (190) Grants Fund (219) Operating (0000) budget. This request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S §42-17106. 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.
