29. AGREEMENT WITH US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION FOR THE DEA TASK FORCE FFY 2023 Approve the Task Force Agreement and acceptance of any available reimbursement funding up to $19,840.75 from the US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration. The term of this agreement is October 1, 2022, through September 30, 2026. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these funds, as applicable. The agreement allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0 which 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 FY23 is 22.35%, or $4,434.41. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $4,434.41. 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. The agreement does not require on-going cash contributions after the period end date. This agreement is recurring, non-competitive and does not require a match. This funding indirectly supports the overall mandated function of prosecution of criminal cases. Approval of this agreement allows for reimbursement of overtime paid to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office detective assigned to the DEA Task Force. The purpose of the agreement is to enhance disruption of the illicit drug traffic in Maricopa County and the State of Arizona by immobilizing targeted trafficking violators and organizations. The County Attorney has cooperated with the DEA since 1998. While the agreement allows for the reimbursement of overtime, it is contingent upon the availability of funds. The County Attorney is prepared to absorb the costs of any overtime related to this agreement. (C-19-23-036-X-00)
