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), increasing the FY 2008-09 revenue and expenditure budgets not to exceed $69,192, function code 0000. 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. This grant funding will enhance public safety by obtaining protective coats and pants for Sun Lakes firefighters to help minimize exposure to the toxic chemicals, carcinogens, and bodily fluids that contaminate the protective clothing worn by firefighters while performing their duties.
