18. RESOLUTION TO APPLY AND ACCEPT TRIBAL GAMING FUNDS FOR SUN LAKES FIRE DISTRICT'S SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS Pursuant to A.R.S. §5-601.02, authorize by Resolution, the application to, acceptance and pass-through of 12% Indian Gaming Funds (Proposition 202 (2002)) from the Gila River Indian Community for the Sun Lakes Fire District’s (SLFD) self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in an amount not-to-exceed $173,085 for FY 2008-09. Authorize the execution of all acceptance documents, including entering into any necessary Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) between the Gila River Indian Community and Maricopa County solely for the purposes of acceptance and distribution of funds, upon review and approval of assigned legal counsel. If funds are awarded, pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(b), approve an appropriation adjustment to Non-Departmental (470), Non-Departmental Grant Fund (249) function code 0000, increasing the FY 2008-09 revenue and expenditure budgets not-to-exceed $173,085. The grant period would be October 1, 2008 - September 30, 2009.Indirect costs are not applicable to Tribal Gaming Grants. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. Grant funding will go to protect the lives and safety of Sun Lakes firefighters and the citizens they serve by purchasing self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA’s) for Sun Lakes firefighters.
