35. RESOLUTION TO APPLY FOR TRIBAL GAMING FUNDS FROM AK-CHIN INDIAN COMMUNITY Pursuant to A.R.S. 5-601.02, authorize by resolution, Maricopa County through the Office of the County Manager to submit 3 applications to the Ak-Chin Indian Community for Tribal Gaming Grant funds for County entities and Community Non-Profits as listed below. These funds are for government or non-profit services that benefit the general public, including public safety, mitigation of the impacts of gaming, or promotion of commerce and economic development. The total amount of funds requested will not exceed $223,396. Authorize the Chairman, or his designee in the County’s Manager’s Office, to sign all application documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. 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. Upon award of grant funds, subsequent action will be submitted to the Board of Supervisors for acceptance of individual grant funds and execution of all necessary acceptance documents which may also include an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), Grant-in-Aid Agreement, or similar documents. Indirect costs are not applicable to non-profit organizations’ Tribal Gaming Grants. Additionally, the overall grant budget will be adjusted through a future reconciliation to accommodate these grants. Grant Applicant: Equine Spirit Programs Grant Program: Residential Treatment Center for Native Youth Amount Requested: $25,000 Grant Applicant: Equine Spirit Programs Grant Program: Warrior Camp Amount Requested: $56,650 The Tribal Gaming Fund awards do not allow recovery of indirect costs. MCESA is applying for a grant award of $141,746. MCESA’s indirect cost recovery is 8.5% and therefore it estimates unrecoverable indirect costs of $12,048.41. Unrecoverable indirect costs will be reconciled in a subsequent Board agenda item should MCESA receive its requested award. Grant Applicant: Maricopa County Education Service Agency Grant Program: Youth Initiative Amount Requested: $141,746 (C-20-16-001-G-00)
