19. RESOLUTION TO APPLY AND ACCEPT TRIBAL GAMING FUNDS FOR THE BUCKEYE VALLEY FIRE DISTRICT 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 Buckeye Valley Fire District for thermal imaging cameras in an amount not to exceed $20,000 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 $20,000. The grant period would be October 1, 2008 - June 1, 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 would enable the Buckeye Valley Fire District to purchase thermal imaging cameras to reduce the chance of civilian injury or death from smoke or fire. These tools would be new equipment to replaced aged and outdated equipment in an effort to provide for continuous quality improvement. (C-20-09-014-G-00)
