Per the agreement, page 6, paragraph 35, these funds are not to be expended for any indirect costs incurred by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office or Maricopa County for administering these funds. The grant allows a 0% rate for indirect costs, or $0, that may be incurred for the administration of this grant.

Non-recoverable indirect costs will be covered by the departmental general fund budget. This grant is competitive and does not require ongoing cash contributions after the grant period end date. Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, or designee, to sign all documents related to this award. 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. This award agreement is in the amount of $499,315.02 in Federal monies under Assistance Listings Number 16.554 awarded to the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission by the U. S. Department of Justice. This grant does not require a match. The total project cost is $499,315.02. These funds are used to support mandated services to reduce the agency's backlog of arrest disposition records. This grant is a one-time award with no expectation of continued funding. However, the County Attorney's Office has received funding under this grant program since 2009. This grant will expire at the end of the award period unless prior written approval for an extension has been obtained from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission. Payment of these grant funds are conditioned upon the availability of funds appropriated for the payment of such obligation. (C-19-24-081-X-00)
