41. GRANT FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR RESTITUTION 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 $101,268 for the purpose of the Restitution Advocacy Program. The grant award begins on October 1, 2024 (retroactively) and ends on September 30, 2025. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office's indirect rate for FY25 is 15.530%. The grantor allows up to 10% for indirect cost recovery, but due to budget constraints only $3,590 is allowed for this award. Total grant indirect costs are estimated to be $15,169.39; $3,590 is recoverable and $11,579.39 is not recoverable. The grant has been reoccurring and awarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office since Fiscal Year 2000. The department has a cash equivalent match requirement of $25,317 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. 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-19-25-029-X-00)
