15. FY25 VICTIM COMPENSATION FUNDING FROM THE ARIZONA CRIMINAL JUSTICE COMMISSION Approve acceptance of $1,740,118.00 in grant funds from the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission for FY25. Of these monies, $1,540,118.00 are State funds (ACJC), and $200,000.00 are Federal funds from VOCA under CFDA 16.576. The Arizona Criminal Justice Commission Grant Number VC-25-008 commences July 1, 2024, and will terminate on June 30, 2025. Authorize the Chairman to sign all applicable documents. On May 16, 2024, the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC) designated the County Attorneys' Offices as operational units to administer the Crime Victim Compensation Program for the State fiscal year 2025. These monies are to be used for the benefit of victims of crime through the Maricopa County Victim Compensation Program and cannot be used for indirect costs (Agreement, Page 8, Paragraph 35). Grant funding is allocated as follows: $251,490.50 in State funding for personnel expenses, $200,000.00 in VOCA Victims Comp Benefits, and $1,288,627.50 in State Victims Comp Benefits. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office's composite indirect cost rate for FY25 is 15.530%, or $270,240.33. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the nonrecoverable indirect cost is $270,240.33. The nonrecoverable indirect costs will be covered by the departmental general fund budget. This grant does not have a matching requirement. This one-time, competitive grant does not require ongoing cash contributions after the grant period ends. Grant revenues are not “local revenues” for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by budget law. This funding directly supports the overall mandated function of providing victim services. (C-19-25-001-X-00)
