Item Text

18. GRANT FUNDS FROM 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 $1,500,000. 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, 2018 and terminate on September 30, 2021. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant does not allow for indirect costs for which the County is eligible. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate for FY19 is 13.5%, or $202,500. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $202,500. Non-recoverable indirect costs will be covered by the departmental general fund budget. This grant is competitive and does not require a match or on-going cash contributions after the grant period end date. Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106, approve appropriation adjustment(s) resulting in a net increase to revenue and expenditures of $91,679 in FY 2018-2019 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 two grants 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 $1,500,000 will be used in conjunction with the previous grant awards to achieve the overall goals of the National Sexual Assault Initiative program. These funds are used to support mandated services to test all sexual assault kits, conduct investigations and prosecute offenders. This grant is a one-time award with no expectation of continued funding. (C-19-19-030-G-00)
