9. GRANT FUNDS FROM FROM ARIZONA ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR VICTIMS' RIGHTS Approve receipt of FY 2016-2017 grant funds from the State of Arizona, Office of the Attorney General, in the amount of $527,200. These grant funds will support the direct costs of implementing victims’ rights laws pursuant to Arizona Revised Statues Title 13, Chapter 40 and Title 8, Chapter 3, Article 7, that impact prosecutorial agencies as an entity type. This agreement commenced, retroactively, July 1, 2016 and terminates on June 30, 2017. In accordance with Victims’ Rights Program Guidelines, Section IV, page 5 (https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/sites/all/docs/Criminal/victims-rights/FY2013-VRP-Guidelines.pdf), the grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 that may be incurred by the County Attorney’s Office of Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office FY 2017 composite indirect cost rate is 15.2%, or $80,134.40. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $80,134.40. 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 is in the amount of $527,200. This award will ensure that victims of crime are notified of the progress of criminal proceedings. This grant will expire at the end of the agreement. There is no long-term expectation of continued funding for this grant; however, the County Attorney’s Office has been receiving grant funds from the Attorney General’s office for victim services since FY 96/97, the most recent award was for FY 15-16 in the amount of $526,895.
