10. NATIONAL SEXUAL ASSAULT KIT INITIATIVE GRANT FROM US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS BUREAU OF JUSTICE ASSISTANCE Approve receipt of grant funds from the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the National Sexual Assault Initiative program in the amount of $1,199,503. These funds are to provide resources for the follow up investigation and prosecution related to the testing of backlogged sexual assault kits (SAKs) in the possession of law enforcement agencies in Maricopa County, to implement protocols for the investigation and prosecution of sexual assaults, and to promote strategies to permanently eliminate a backlog of untested SAKs in Maricopa County. This grant agreement will commence retroactively on October 1, 2017 and terminate on September 30, 2020. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant funds, $1,199,503, may not be expended for any indirect costs which may be incurred by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 that may be incurred by the County Attorney's Office or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate for FY18 is 16.8%, or $201,517. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $201,517. Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106, approve appropriation adjustment(s) resulting in a net increase to revenue and expenditures of $309,416 in FY 2017-2018 County Attorney (D190) Grants Fund (219) Operating (1000) budget. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of these revenues is not prohibited by the budget law. This request does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office was previously awarded $1,232,705 from the Bureau of Justice Assistance through the National Sexual Assault Initiative program for the testing of backlogged SAKs in the possession of law enforcement agencies in Maricopa County and to provide some resources to coordinate the project and investigate and prosecute sexual assault offenders. The current grant award of $1,199,503 will be used in conjunction with the previous grant award to achieve the overall goals of the National Sexual Assault Initiative program. (C-19-18-018-G-00)
