45. FUNDING FROM US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION (DEA) FOR THE PHOENIX TASK FORCE – FFY25 Approve the Notice of Limits for FFY25 State and Local Overtime Reimbursements and acceptance of up to $21,740.50 in reimbursement funding from the US Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for officers assigned to DEA-managed task forces. The DEA Task Force agreement commenced October 1, 2022, and will continue until September 30, 2026, unless terminated by one or both parties. Acceptance of this agreement was most recently approved by the Board of Supervisors on 10/19/2022 under C-19-23-036-x-00. The FFY25 reimbursement funding began retroactively on October 1, 2024, and will terminate on September 30, 2025. 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 2025 is 15.530%, or $3,376.30. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $0; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $3,376.30 and will be covered by the department's general fund. 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 ongoing cash contributions after the period end date. This agreement is recurring, noncompetitive, 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 detective assigned to the DEA Task Force. The agreement aims to disrupt the illicit drug traffic in the Arizona area by immobilizing targeted violators and trafficking 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's Office is prepared to absorb the costs of any overtime related to this agreement. (C-19-25-041-X-00)
