18. ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FOR THE 2009 BULLETPROOF VEST PARTNERSHIP Approve acceptance of Bulletproof Vest Partnership grant funding from the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) in the amount of $78,295. Funds will be used to reimburse costs for bulletproof vests for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, the Maricopa County Adult Probation Department and the Maricopa County Juvenile Probation Department. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will receive $28,717 towards 510 vests. The Maricopa County Adult Probation Department will receive $35,907 toward 562 vests and the Maricopa County Juvenile Probation Department will receive $11,117 towards 174 vests. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will receive $2,553 towards 26 vests. The term of the grant is from April 1, 2009 to September 30, 2011. 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 grantor does not allow for indirect cost recovery. The total unrecoverable indirect amount is $12,294. The Sheriff Office indirect rate is 16.6% and they will not recover $4,767. The Adult Probation Department indirect rate is 10.0% and they will not recover $3,591. The Juvenile Probation Department indirect rate is 24.8% and they will not recover $2,757. The County Attorney indirect rate is 14.4% and they will not recover $368. On June 26, 1998, the Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act of 1998 was signed as law (Public Law 105-181). The purpose of the Act is to save the lives of law enforcement officers by helping state and units of local and tribal government equip their law enforcement officers with armor vests. Through the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program, administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the federal government will give priority and cover up to 50 percent of the cost for vests to jurisdictions with less than 100,000 people. Jurisdictions with over 100,000 people will get a percentage of any remaining BVP funds. These funds are for use by law enforcement officers, broadly defined to include police officers, sheriff’s deputies, correctional officers, parole and probation agents, park police and others. All bulletproof vests will be put to use in guarding the safety of county personnel. Maricopa County has been receiving these funds since 2001. (C-20-10-017-G-00) 19.
