26. RESOLUTION FOR TRIBAL GAMING FUNDS THROUGH THE AK-CHIN INDIAN COMMUNITY FOR VETERANS ASSISTANCE SUBSIDY 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 Ak-Chin Indian Community for Schools, Inc. Veterans Assistance Subsidy (VAS) program in an amount not-to-exceed $75,000 for FY2009-FY2010. Authorize the execution of all acceptance documents, including entering into any necessary Intergovernmental Agreements (IGA) between the Ak-Chin Indian Community and Maricopa County solely for the purposes of acceptance and distribution of funds, upon review and approval of assigned legal counsel. Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(b), approve an appropriation adjustment to County Manager (200), Non-Departmental grant Fund (249), Non-operating/non-project (0001), increasing the FY 2009-10 revenue and expenditure budgets not-to-exceed $75,000. 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. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides many programs and services on behalf of veterans. This project seeks to augment and expand on this program by extending eligibility criteria, thereby allowing additional veterans to obtain vital services during this time of economic downturn.
