13. VICTIM COMPENSATION FUNDING FROM THE ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION Approve acceptance of $2,302,960 in grant funds from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. These funds come from the FY 2017-2018 Arizona Crime Victim Compensation program administered by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. Of these monies, $1,793,610 are State funds, and $509,350 are Federal funds under CFDA 16.576. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission Grant Number VC-18-056 agreement commenced, retroactively, July 1, 2017 and will terminate on June 30, 2018. Authorize the Chairman to sign all applicable documents. These monies are to be used for the benefit of victims of crime through the Maricopa County Victim Compensation Program and cannot be used for indirect costs (Agreement, Page 6, Paragraph 35). The Maricopa County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate for FY18 is 16.8%, or $386,897. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $386,897. Grant revenues are not “local revenues” for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by budget law. This award agreement is in the amount of $2,302,960. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office was designated by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission as the Operational Unit for Maricopa County. The purpose of this award is to provide compensation awards to victims of criminally injurious conduct occurring within the Operational Unit’s jurisdiction. The Operational Unit assures compliance with the Crime Victim Compensation Program rules, R10-4-101 through R10-4-108 et. seq., the guidelines for Crime Victim Organizational audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133, audits of States, Local Government and Non-Profit Organizations, and 28 CFR Part 66.32. There are no matching funds required to accept this award. There is no expectation of continued funding. The County Attorney has received this funding for more than 23 years with most recent funding in FY2017. (C-19-17-055-G-00)
