31. TRANSFER OF NON-DEPARTMENTAL CONTINGENCY FUNDS FOR 2010 CENSUS OUTREACH EFFORTS Pursuant to A.R.S. 42-17105(b), approve the transfer of expenditure authority in the amount of $12,914 from FY 2009-10 Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Contingency (4711) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) to a new line item in FY 2009-10 Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Other Programs (4712) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) entitled Census PR Campaign. This action authorizes the transfer of contingency funds to distribute to the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) for 2010 Census outreach efforts. On March 25, 2009, the MAG Regional Council approved using MAG federal funds to help offset the cost of 2010 Decennial Census outreach efforts for print and broadcast advertising. The total outreach cost is estimated to be $426,815. Fifty percent of the cost will be assumed with federal funds, leaving $213,407 to be allocated to the MAG member agencies. Maricopa County's portion of that contribution is $12,914 based on standard MAG formula. An invoice had not been received by Maricopa County at the time that the FY 2009-10 budget was developed.
