39. GRANT FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR GANG AND VIOLENT CRIME ADVOCACY PROGRAM Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Victims of Crime Act, Victim Assistance Grant Program, in the amount not to exceed $273,019 for the purpose of Gang and Violent Crime Advocacy Program. The grant award begins on October 1, 2023 (retroactively) and ends on September 30, 2024. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office's indirect rate for FY24 is 20.2%, the grantor allows up to 10% for indirect cost recovery, but due to budget constraints only allowed $9,678 for this award. Total grant indirect costs are estimated to be $9,678 recoverable and $43,516.89 not recoverable. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office as far back as Fiscal Year 2000. The department has a cash equivalent match requirement of $68,255 during the grant award period and has general fund resources to provide this match. No future contributions are required with this funding. This grant provides critical funding for our victim advocates so they may work to ensure Maricopa County victims of crime receive each of the services mandated by the Arizona Constitution and the Crime Victim’s Bill of Rights. The grant award is competitively bid, and other eligible agencies may or may not bid on this grant award. Funding for this agreement is provided by a Grant from the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Victims of Crime Act, Victim Assistance Grant Program. 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. (C-19-24-062-X-00)
